Army Wins at the Buzzer over Tulsa, 38-35
The clock read 0:00 when Dawson Jones booted a 50-yard field goal, and that is the only reason Army walked out of Tulsa with a 38-35 win.
It was a game of swings. Army scored first on a 41-yard run by Cale Hellums, Tulsa tied it at 7-7 on Javon Ross's eight-yard run, and the lead changed hands four times from there. Tulsa went up 14-10 on a 17-yard Baylor Hayes pass to Ross, Army answered with a one-yard Hellums run and a 34-yard Jones field goal with two seconds left in the half, and Godspower Nwawuihe broke a 66-yard run to make it 28-14 early in the third. Tulsa then scored twice in about four minutes, on an 11-yard run by David Wells Jr. and a 59-yard run by Trequan Jones, to tie it at 28-28 going into the fourth.
Jimmy Calloway put Tulsa back in front with 13:25 left, a 13-yard catch from Hayes that made it 35-28. Hellums answered with his third touchdown run of the day, a one-yarder with 1:50 left that tied it at 35-35. Then came the kick. Hellums finished with 30 carries for 121 yards, which is a lot of work for a quarterback who also completed seven of 12 passes.
The yardage says Tulsa should have won this. Tulsa outgained Army 410 yards to 384, threw for 262 and averaged more than five yards per carry on 26 rushes. Army ran 51 times for 275 yards and threw for just 109. Tulsa also threw the game's only interception, which is the kind of thing that matters when the game is decided by a field goal. Army moves to 5-2. Tulsa falls to 4-4, a team that scored 35 and still lost.
Fantasy-wise, Hellums was the top scorer, but two Tulsa receivers, Ross and Calloway, cracked the top three, and both set season highs.
