Navy starting quarterback Ricky Dobbs said after practice yesterday that he will probably not play Saturday against Temple based on the recommendations of team doctors and trainers. Dobbs said the hope is that another week off will allow his injured right knee to heal sufficiently enough that he will be close to 100 percent by the Nov. 7 road game against Notre Dame.

"Navy can clinch a berth in the Texas Bowl with a win on Saturday. Temple, which has not played in the postseason since winning the Garden State Bowl in 1979, can assure its first winning season since 1990."
