SMU lost, 35-28, to Navy on Saturday. It meant the Mustangs lost the Gansz Trophy, a traveling award created for the winner of the SMU-Navy game honoring the former Midshipmen player and coach. Navy is now 7-1 in Gansz Trophy games, as the award was created in 2009.

The loss, however, meant more than just losing a trophy for the Mustangs. Navy officially took SMU out of contention for the American Athletic Conference West Division title race, which means the Mustangs won't have a shot at playing in the AAC Championship game -- which also means the Mustangs won't be competing in the Cotton Bowl as the top-ranked Group of 5 team.

For Saturday's game, SMU finished with 344 total yards of offense -- nearly 200 yards less than what Navy produced. The Midshipmen also had 28 first downs to SMU's 15. It was a game Navy controlled offensively, nearly having the ball for two-thirds of the entire game.

Here are two positives and two negatives from the game regarding the Mustangs (9-2, 5-2 in AAC).
