Army quarterback Kelvin Hopkins Jr. ran for 170 yards and an Armed Forces Bowl-record five touchdowns, and the No. 22 Black Knights overwhelmed Houston, 70-14, on Saturday in Fort Worth, reaching 11 wins for the first time in program history.

The Black Knights (11-2) won their ninth consecutive game since an overtime loss at Oklahoma exactly three months earlier.

Hopkins, a junior, had a nifty 77-yard touchdown run on the final play of the first quarter for a 14-0 lead.
