Opportunistic Army scores bowl win over SMU, 16-14
Posted on 2 Jan 2011 by Donald Lappe.
Coming into the game against SMU, Army's struggles in pass coverage were well-documented. The Mustangs burned the Black Knights for 45 yards on the first play from scrimmage when Kyle Padron found Aldrick Robinson downfield. Here we go again, right? We saw this against Air Force, Notre Dame, and Navy in recent weeks. Then, after a 6 yard completion by Padron, the complexion of the game changed...

Bad penalties have also become a disturbing trend for this team. Army opened the day's scoring with 2:45 remaining in the first quarter on a 3-yard Trent Steelman touchdown run, part of another big performance from the...
