The Army offense could not be stopped Saturday evening, as Kansas State fell 24-21 to the Black Knights in a game where the defense struggled to find stops, and the offense couldn’t muster enough firepower.
The Black Knights executed multiple touchdown drives of 14 or more plays, as the Wildcat offense was kept off the field for the vast majority of the second half.
Army ended the game outgaining the Wildcats by almost 90 yards, including getting out-rushed by 163 yards.
