ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Phillip Walker threw two touchdown passes, Temples defense stuffed Navys running game and the Owls claimed their first American Athletic Conference title with a 34-10 victory Saturday.After Temple (10-3) scored touchdowns on its first three possessions, protecting the 21-0 lead became substantially easier when No. 19 Navy (9-3, No. 20 AP) lost standout quarterback Will Worth to a second-quarter ankle injury.Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said Worth is done for the season, along with running backs Toneo Gulley and Darryl Bonner, both of whom left with first-half injuries.Although the defeat took Navy out of the running for the Cotton Bowl, the Midshipmen are expected to play in the Armed Forces Bowl after facing Army next Saturday.The Owls extended their winning streak to seven and earned their first league title since finishing atop the Middle American Conference in 1967.It showed we have a really good team that is capable of doing a lot of good things, said Walker, who went 16 for 25 for 199 yards.Temple lost to Houston in last years AAC Championship game. This time, the Owls dominated from the outset.Not only did Temple open with TD drives of 75, 59 and 70 yards, but the defense quashed a Navy attack that was averaging 61 points over its previous three games.They just played better. It wasnt a magic wand, Niumatalolo said. They just hit us in the mouth and we hadnt been hit in the mouth for a long time. Normally, we hit other people in the mouth. To Temples credit, they hit us in the mouth. We were dazed the whole game. Its like they hit us with an overhand right.The Midshipmen had scored on 34 of 38 drives -- including 33 touchdowns -- before being denied on their first three possessions by Temple. Worth was injured at the end of the third drive and did not return.That spelled doom for an offense that produced more than 500 yards in each of its last three games. Navy finished with 306 yards, 168 on the ground.Backup quarterback Zach Abey went 7 for 13 for 104 yards and two interceptions.I missed some reads, wish I had some plays back, he said.The result was the end of Navys 15-game home winning streak.Middle linebacker Jarred Alwan led the Owls defense with 13 tackles, and Sean Chandler contributed eight tackle and forced a fumble.Temple took the suspense out of the game with an early show of offensive firepower. After Walker completed a 13-yard pass for Keith Kirkwood on fourth-and-7 from the Navy 28, Jahad Thomas ran for a 15-yard score.A 22-yard touchdown pass to Ventell Bryant made it 14-0, and Walker followed a Navy turnover with a perfectly thrown long pass that Kirkwood caught in stride for a 56-yard score.The injury to Worth occurred on Navys next possession.They just played better than we did, Niumatalolo said. It wasnt schematic. They just beat the crap out of us.After falling behind 24-3 at halftime, the Midshipmen got a 47-yard run from Abey during a drive late in the third quarter that ended with the quarterback scoring from the Temple 1.A 42-yard field goal by Aaron Boumerhi with 10:17 left ended any hope of a Navy comeback.THE TAKEAWAYTemple: The Owls played exceptionally well in proving to be a worthy conference champion. Even before the injuries to Navys backfield, Temples defense successfully tackled the challenge of slowing down Navys formidable offense.Navy: The Midshipmen had it all going for them: Momentum on offense, home-field advantage and the incentive of playing in the Cotton Bowl. But Navy wasnt sharp enough to put a dent in a Temple defense that had allowed a total of 10 points in its previous three games.UP NEXTTemple: The Owls expect to learn their bowl destination on Sunday.Navy: The annual Army-Navy game will be held in Baltimore on Saturday. The Midshipmen will be looking for their 15th straight win in the series.

DENVER -- Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw took a big step toward a return by throwing two solid innings during a simulated game Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.The three-time NL Cy Young Award winner has been sidelined with a minor disk herniation in his lower back since late June.Of course, Kershaw critiqued his performance afterward, telling team officials he wasnt as sharp as he wanted to be. Just Kershaw being Kershaw.And yet another positive sign.He felt great after, which is obviously everything we cared about, Andrew Friedman, the teams president of baseball operations, said before a game against Colorado. It was a great step in his progression.Before deciding on Kershaws next step, the team wants to see how hes feeling Wednesday, but hes raring to get back to the majors and help the NL West-leading Dodgers. This is just his second trip to the disabled list in his nine-year career. He also went on the DL in early 2014 with a shoulder strain.My guess is that Kersh will want to pitch in a major league game tomorrow, Friedman said. And I think with the time hes missed, my guess could be the next step, a minor league assignment..dddddddddddd I think it will take a little bit of time to build him up in a way for him to be strong through September and hopefully October, as well.Asked how much input Kershaw will have in his next step, Friedman responded, A lot.But you also have to balance that with, hes as competitive of a person as Ive been around, Friedman added. He wants to get out here and help his team in the worst way. Well have to balance the medical opinion with how hes doing and feeling. Getting him as back as quickly as we can, but in the most responsible way possible.Kershaw wasnt the only injured Dodgers pitcher to work in a simulated game that featured a mix of minor league hitters. Righty Brandon McCarthy (right hip stiffness) went five innings, using his whole array of pitches; lefty Brett Anderson (blister on his left index finger) turned in four and lefty Scott Kazmir (neck inflammation) threw five.It was a full day at Dodger Stadium, manager Dave Roberts said. All of the guys came out of it pretty well. Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
