BALTIMORE -- For the Baltimore Orioles, home is where the victories are.Coming off another series win at Camden Yards, this time over the AL West-leading Texas Rangers, the Orioles boast a major-league best 39-17 record at home.Their power-laden lineup leads the big leagues with 89 homers at home, including 31 by Mark Trumbo -- who tallied 22 all last season with Arizona and Seattle.Theyre built to play in this ballpark, Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. Youve got some guys who hit fly balls, who hit it out of the ballpark. They dont hit too many ground balls.Most teams play better at home. However, the Orioles have taken it to a higher level. Theyre 13-2-3 in 18 series at Camden Yards compared to 8-10 on the road.They seem like they really enjoy playing in their own ballpark, Banister said.It begins with the pleasure of sleeping in a familiar bed, then driving the usual route before walking into a cozy, spacious clubhouse.Maybe its just a comfort level, shortstop J.J. Hardy said.The Camden Yards experience includes the loud O! (for Orioles) screamed by the crowd when the national anthem reaches the point, OH, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave.Thats when the visitors know theyre in a hostile environment.Think about the unity their fans have when they yell, `O! Its a tradition you learn by coming to the ballpark, Rangers outfielder Ian Desmond said. That comes with time. Its part of home-field advantage.A young rookie thats never been here before playing the Orioles, hes standing out there for the national anthem and hes like, `Whoa, what was that? Its like, theyre ready. Theyre on-point today.They dont sell out the place every night anymore, but Camden Yards remains a mecca for baseball enthusiasts with deep ties to the hometown team.Ill give the fans a lot of the credit, Orioles catcher Matt Wieters said.Desmond was far more adamant about the role played by the boisterous backers in orange and black.The Orioles are an old organization that has fans that understand the game. They know when to cheer. They get it. Players feed on that, he said. Home-field advantage is like a bond between the players and the fans.Baltimore stands atop the AL East because of its success at home. But if the Orioles are to remain in the playoff hunt they will likely have to improve on the road, where they were 22-29 through Thursday.The team was to begin a 10-game road swing Friday, facing the White Sox, Oakland and San Francisco.I look at it as, we havent been good on the road so hopefully thats due to turn around on this trip, Wieters said. At the end, if you win 93 games and its 81 at home and 12 on the road, it doesnt matter. Its just about getting to that number you need to make the playoffs, and then getting hot at home or away.The way theyve been playing at Camden Yards, the Orioles would like nothing more than to secure home-field advantage throughout the postseason.Its huge, Wieters said. In the playoffs, its all about momentum, and if you can get the crowd behind you it can influence the game by a couple of runs.

They just had so many things going. ... We sputtered early on offense and that compounded the problems for us.Rebounding from a 16-point loss to Temple that cost the Bulls (7-2, 4-1) sole possession of first place in the AACs East Division, Flowers keyed a balanced attack that amassed 629 yards total offense against an overmatched Navy defense that yielded TDs on six of USFs seven first-half possessions to fall behind 42-14.Great win for us, USF coach Willie Taggart said. Im really excited the way our guys responded to how we performed last week.Will Worth ran for four touchdowns for Navy (5-2, 4-1), which leads the AAC West and entered game as the only team without a loss in league play after beating then-No. 6 Houston and Memphis to nudge into the Top 25.Flowers joined Marlon Mack in topping 100 yards rushing for the third time in four games.

The Midshipmen attempted more than eight passes in a game for only the third time this season, finishing with 616 yards total offense, including 317 rushing.Worths 9-yard TD pass to Darryl Bonner came on the games final play.We gave them a 28-point lead, Worth said, and its tough to come back against a talented team like that.USF took a halff-game lead over Temple in the East standings.dddddddddddd Navy goes out of conference against Notre Dame next week, then faces Tulsa, East Carolina and SMU down the stretch in conference play.They got the `W but theres a possibility that we will play them again, Worth said. But we have Notre Dame next week and we have to bounce back and get focused on them.TAKEAWAYNavy: The Midshipmen thrive by essentially playing keep-away, using a potent rushing attack to control the ball and keep opposing offenses off the field for long stretches. The strategy worked to perfection a year ago -- when Navy ran for 442 yards to beat USF 29-17 in Annapolis -- but never got a chance to work this time.South Florida: Flowers leads the American in TD passes, however the Bulls are at their best when theyre able to run the ball consistently. Mack led the AAC is rushing the past two years. And along with Flowers, who is averaging more than 7 yards per carry, USF has the best one-two running punch in the conference.RUNNING WILDSouth Florida rushed for a school record 190 yards in the first quarter and finished with 412.

The only other time he threw more than 12 passes in game, he was 17 of 30 for 260 yards and no touchdowns in a 14-point loss at Air Force on Oct. 1.POLL IMPLICATIONSNavy remains atop the American West standings, however the lopsided result likely will knock the Midshipmen out of the Top 25. USF was inching toward a spot in the rankings before last weeks loss at Temple. The dominating performance on national television states the case that at the very least no team in the AAC is playing better than the Bulls right now.RARE LEAGUE LOSSNavy has won 11 of 13 conference games since joining the American last year. The only another loss in league play was a 52-31 defeat at Houston last season.UP NEXTNavy steps out of conference, returning to Florida next Saturday to face Notre Dame in Jacksonville.South Florida has a bye before playing at Memphis on Nov. 12.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
