As we stated in one of our GBK pre-game analysis/segments, that in order for Army to be victorious against Temple, one of the decisive factors that we projected had to manifest was for the Black Knights defense to really have to step up their game or should we say, be on their ‘A’ game.
Well, they absolutely did just that and more, although on Temple’s first offensive series of the game, quarterback Evan Simon hit his wide open tight end for a 49 yard touchdown pass. However, that was nullified due to a holding penalty on their offensive tackle and pretty much, that was all she wrote for the Owl’s offense.
With the Army offense doing what they do best, it put the Owls offense in play from behind mode throughout the entire contest and with the Black Knights’ pass at full throttle, it became a long day for Simon and his offensive teammates.
By the end of the game, the Army defensive, which played defense by committee, totaled seven (7) sacks on the evening and that came from seven different players.
Speaking of committee, the same could be said for Army’s offense that saw a rushing attack, whose headlines were shared by QB, Bryson Daily (152 yds & 3 TDs); RB, Kanye Udoh (128 yds & 1 TD); Slotback, Noah Short (78 yds & 1 TD) and of course, the O-Line.
The Black Knights rushed for 417 yards on the evening while holding the Owls to a -5.
