Dawson Jones kicked a game-winning 50-yard field goal as time expired to cap Army’s late rally and give the Black Knights a 38-35 over Tulsa on Friday night.
Army went ahead 28-14 early in the third quarter on Godspower Nwawuihe’s 66-yard touchdown run. Tulsa responded with 21 unanswered points to take a 35-28 lead early in the fourth.
It stayed 35-28 until the final two minutes.
Army’s Tim Kloska blocked a Tulsa punt and recovered the ball to set the Black Knights up at the Golden Hurricane’s 13-yard line. Cale Hellums capped a short Army drive with a 1-yard touchdown run to tie the score with 1:50 left.
After forcing Tulsa to go three-and-out on the ensuing possession, Army took over with 51 seconds left and moved the ball ahead 27 yards to set up Jones’ winning field goal.
