Army stuns SEC’s Missouri on last-second field goal

Army wasn’t wowed by facing an SEC foe and dumped Missouri in the Armed Forces Bowl

It isn’t as good as beating Navy. However, Army is going to savor its victory over Missouri, from the vaunted SEC, in Wednesday’s Armed Forces Bowl.

The Black Knights of the Hudson got a field goal from Cole Tally on the last place of the game to earn a 24-22 victory as time expired.

Tally was 1-of-4 on attempts of 40 yards or longer before connecting on his game-winner.

He didn’t need a second chance but would have gotten one because the penalty flag that flew was because Missouri had two players wearing No. 6 on the field during the play.

The winning march covered 51 yards over 1:11 and took 8 plays.

It came after Missouri had taken a 22-21 lead on Brady Cook’s 6-yard TD pass to Keke Chism.

The Tigers went for a 2-point conversion but Cook missed a wide-open Dawson Downing with the pass.

Army won the Armed Forces Bowl despite having to use a trio of quarterbacks. The Cadets did have 95 yards passing, including a TD throw from Tyhier Tyler to Brandon Walters in the fourth quarter.

Army, which lost to Navy in its previous game, finished the season at 9-4.

Missouri, the first SEC team to play in a bowl game in 2021, fell to 6-7.

 

How many passes did Army attempt in its win over Navy?

The Army-Navy game saw one pass completion for each of the service academies

The Army-Navy game was played in the fog at West Point. It was hard enough to see through the dense gloom, which only got worse for the Midshipmen as Saturday wore on in New York.

Army had eight first downs in its 15-0 victory; Navy had four. Each team had one completion.

Navy did not complete a pass until there were 2:20 left in the fourth quarter.

Army attempted one pass. Tyhier Tyler completed it for 28 yards to Tyrell Robinson.

One completion, eight first downs and Army marched over Navy in the first game at West Point in this rivalry since 1943.

It was the first shutout since Navy won 34-0 in 2008. The previous shutout by Army over its arch-rival? You had to go Nov. 29, 1969, when the Cadets posted a 27-0 victory in Philadelphia.

Watch: Navy flea-flicker turns into safety for Army

Navy tried a flea-flicker against Army and it turned into two points for the Cadets

Nothing was going right for Navy on Saturday in its storied rivalry game with Army.

The Midshipmen were down 10-0 late and were totally shut down by the Cadets. So, they went into their bag of trickeration … with disastrous results.

The flea-flicker fooled no one and Army tackled Navy’s Mark Walker in the end zone for two more points to make it 12-0.
