The Black Knights are seeking their first bowl win since 1985 (in their first bowl since 1996) against SMU in the Armed Forces Bowl.

Halftime, Army leads 16-0.

I gotta say, it's pretty amazing the work that Rich Ellerson is doing at West Point.

Army could do themselves a favor by putting theter a drive here and really chewing up some clock

16-14 now. Still a lot of time for SMU to come back and take the lead.

Good for the Black Knights. Gotta feel good to win your first bowl game in TWENTY FIVE years, and be playing in your first bowl game in 14 years. Pretty good year for Army, considering how the past few decades have gone for them. Now if Ellerson can find a way to beat Navy in the next few seasons, that fan base will go crazy.

Glad to see the Black Knights get this one. SMU goes 0-2 against the Service Academies this year!

West Point has the right man as Coach right now.
