It all came down to which team could execute their game plan when it mattered at the end of the game, and Army was the one to come up with the big plays, ending the Falcon’s season on a sour note.
The deciding exchange of drives began with Air Force leading 7-3 with 12 1⁄2 minutes left in the game, when Army was forced to punt the ball away from Air Force’s 49 yard line and Ben Peterson fair caught the ball at his own 16 yard line. The Falcons began a nice drive, highlighted by Haaziq Daniel’s 20 yard scramble and his 22 yard pass to Ben Peterson on third and 18 for a first down.
