Second-half blog: Air Force
Asher Clark scored from 8 yards out but more importantly, Army middle linebacker Stephen Anderson is injured on the play and helped off, favoring his left leg.
An illegal shift negates a first-down pass to Davyd Brooks and Army punts. Big return by Anthony Wright.
Air Force runs the ball 11 straight times. The11th carry is a one-yard TD run by QB Tim Jefferson. Air Force 28, Army 7, 10:37 left in the game. Air Force continues to own the second half. Army’s defense had a chance to hold Air Force to a field goal attempt but FB Jared Tew gained 19 yards on a 3rd-and-12 from Army’s 23.
One of the differences in the game is Air Force’s ability to make big plays on offense. Asher Clark broke off a 36-yard TD run and Tim Jefferson showed off his arm on a 73-yard TD pass to Kevin Fogler. Army’s offense has one gamebreaker – QB Trent Steelman. Army has pretty much abandoned the pass in the second half, sticking with the option, which Air Force has stopped.
Army’s defense owned the first half. Air Force’s defense has controlled the second half. Army is forced on a three-and-out. LB John Falgout dropped Kingsley Ehie for 2-yard loss on second down. Army’s offense has 43 total yards in the second half.
Air Force beats Army’s defense with a deep ball. Tim Jefferson connects with Kevin Fogler on a 73-yard TD. Fogler beat CB Mario Hill. He actually stopped near the Army 20 and changed direction to the middle of the field. Air Force 21, Army 7, 2:35 left in the third quarter.
Senior defensive tackle Victor Ugenyi is in the game at defensive tackle.
Army’s offense only has two first downs on its first three drives in the second half and one was on a penalty. Jonathan Bulls’ punt is fair caught on Air Force’s 14. It’s looking like Army’s defense is going to have to force a turnover for Army to even this game.
Army free safety Donovan Travis went down two plays into Air Force’s drive but returned to pop Asher Clark out of bounds just short of the first down. Air Force punts from its own 20.
Jonathan Bulls’ punt takes a good bounce and is down by Josh Jackson at Air Force’s 1. Bulls handled a low snap on the play.
A 15-yard facemask penalty by Air Force linebacker Justin Moore gives Army the ball on its own 41. QB Trent Steelman gets five yards to midfield on 3-and-6.
Air Force’s Asher Clark breaks off the right side untouched for a 36-yard TD run. FB Jared Tew threw a good block on LB Steve Erzinger at the point of attack. Air Force 14, Army 7, 11:33 left in the third quarter.
Not a great punt by Army’s Jonathan Bulls. Bulls kicks it off the side of his feet and it goes 28 yards to midfield.
SB Patrick Mealy is dropped for a 4-yard loss and Army is forced to punt on its first drive of the second half. SB Malcom Brown missed a block on CB Anthony Wright, who tackled Mealy
