Army secured a dramatic 38-35 victory against Tulsa on Friday, October 23, thanks to a 50-yard field goal by Dawson Jones as time expired. Jones's clutch kick, his second of over 50 yards in the game, sealed the win for the Black Knights.
The team had built a 28-14 lead before experiencing offensive struggles in the second half, allowing Tulsa to score 21 unanswered points and take a late lead. However, a blocked punt by Tim Kloska and a late touchdown pass from Cale Hellums set the stage for Jones's game-winning kick.

Army's next challenge is a Halloween night game against Memphis, who are currently half a game behind Army in the conference standings.
