2. Army went Army and did what it had to do
Yeah, Missouri was missing a slew of players and kicked off the game with a new starting backfield, but Army lost starting quarterback Christian Anderson to an ankle injury.
In a next-man-up way, Tyler Tyler threw the one touchdown pass on fourth down when the team absolutely needed it.
Army did what it had to do by doing what it normally does.
Keep moving forward, keep getting positive yards, set up a manageable third down situation, convert on a short fourth down try – the Black Knights did that all five times.
The defense was hardly stellar, but it came up with a few massive fourth down plays, it bent but didn’t break in the first half after the first Missouri drive – the field goals instead of touchdowns were a big deal – the passing game came up with just enough production to matter, and there were no turnovers and just four penalties.
Army went Army, only this time it meant a win over a Power Five program.
