September 29, 2023 | Sprint Football
The Black Knights outgained the Quakers 400-112 and picked up 22 first downs to Penn's eight.
The scoring kicked off with a five-yard Henry Beck touchdown run to cap off a nine play, 65 yard drive.
The Black Knights defense quickly forced a three and out to get the ball right back and the offense went right back to work.
Ten plays, 70 yards later, Army went up 14-0 after Mikal Willeke found Kobe Semien for a four-yard touchdown pass.
For the next nine possessions each team traded punts and turnovers, but Army would go up 21-0 after a really nice 20-yard touchdown run from Willeke after the play broke down.
With only three seconds left in the half, Willeke found Devon Brown for an insane, SportsCenter Top 10 Plays worthy catch over the Penn DB to go up 28-0 into the half.
The second half was a lot slower and Army was able to connect on a 22-yard field goal to go up 31-0.
Penn would score on a fourth and goal play to avoid the shutout and make it a 31-7 game.
Army would go on to win to move to 2-0 on the season and will now turn its attention to Navy. The game will be played at Michie Stadium at 7 p.m. on Oct. 6.
