Army is renowned for its signature triple option scheme. The Black Knights rank second in the country in time of possession, and they rarely break out the hurry-up offense.
However, when Missouri claimed a 22-21 lead with 1:11 left, that contrasting style was required for Army. To deviate from normality even more, the Black Knights were forced to operate without their starting quarterback Christian Anderson for the game’s final drive, so Jabari Laws checked into the contest. It couldn’t have been a better sendoff for the senior.
Laws guided Army down the field with a pair of first down completions and a 13-yard rush.
