A Tale of Two Kickers
For once, kickers actually mattered. And for once, the CPU kicker screwed up.
The second low-scoring game of this dynasty was decided by a 48 yard Adam DeMarco FG with 1:11 remaining in the game. Syracuse would drive the ball into position for a potential game-winner of their own, but senior Patrick Shadle would miss the 51 yarder that would've given Syracuse the victory as time expired.
Army Black Knights: 2-0
Next game: vs. Akron (2-1, C OVR, C+ OFF, C+ DEF)
Injuries: Sophomore HB Pat Mealy was lost for the year with a broken elbow after posting 17 carries and 60 yards midway into the 3rd quarter. Mealy was believed to be on his way to a breakout season but is now unlikely to be on the field with the Black Knights until late spring.
