Army Runs for 570 Yards in a 59-3 Rout of Bryant
Army threw for 79 yards and ran for 570. If you are keeping score at home, that is 56 carries at a hair over 10 yards each, and a 59-3 win over Bryant.
The Black Knights opened with four rushing touchdowns from four different directions: Zach Mundell from 15 yards, Cale Hellums from 27 and 37, Brady Anderson from 30. That made it 28-0 in the second quarter, and a Nicholas Stoyanovich 28-yard field goal was all Bryant got before a Dawson Jones 37-yarder made it 31-3 at the half. Mundell added a 66-yard run to open the third, Godspower Nwawuihe scored from 2 yards, and Carson Smith and Ethan Washington finished it with short runs in the fourth.
Eight rushing touchdowns, a field goal, no turnovers and 649 total yards. Hellums was 4 of 9 for 59 yards through the air, so the passing game did exactly what it was asked to do, which is to exist. Mundell had four carries and 105 yards, which is 26 a pop, and the 66-yarder is why.
Army is 1-0 and Bryant is 0-1. For fantasy purposes this was a fun one for quarterbacks: Hellums scored 23.1 and Mundell 22.5, both without a single passing touchdown between them.
Army led 21-0 after one quarter and 31-3 at the half, so the second half was a formality. Samari Howard, listed at wide receiver, ran four times for 63 yards and caught three passes for 52, which is the kind of line that gets lost in a game like this one.
