Army's football team made history by winning its first conference championship in the program's 134-year history. The Black Knights defeated Tulane 35-14 in the American Athletic Conference championship game, capping off a perfect 11-1 season in the league.
Quarterback Bryson Daily was the standout player of the game, rushing for four touchdowns to tie the AAC championship game record. Kanye Udoh also had an impressive performance, rushing for 158 yards, including a 72-yard run that set up one of Daily's touchdowns.
Army's dominant rushing attack, which led the country with 312.5 yards per game, proved too much for Tulane to handle. The Black Knights controlled the game with long, clock-eating drives and converted on crucial fourth-down plays.
With the victory, Army secured its spot in the upcoming Commander-in-Chief's Trophy game against Navy, a highly anticipated matchup for both teams.
Tulane, on the other hand, struggled to find its rhythm in the championship game, committing costly mistakes and failing to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Despite their efforts, the Green Wave fell short against Army's relentless offense.
Looking ahead, Army will face Navy next Saturday in a bid to claim the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy. Tulane will await its bowl destination following the conclusion of the season.
Overall, Army's historic win marks a significant milestone for the program and sets the stage for an exciting showdown with Navy in the upcoming game.
