UTSA Roadrunners at Army Black Knights
· NCAA - FootballDaily scores two TDs to help No. 25 Army hold off UTSA 29-24

Army (10-1) finished the regular season 8-0 in the AAC and earned the right to host the championship game on Friday.
Daily rushed for 147 yards, his academy-record ninth straight 100-yard game, and two touchdowns.
Casey Larkin sealed Army’s 10th victory of the season, picking off Owen McCown at the Black Knights’ 10 with 1:14 left.
“It was a great team win,” Daily said. “It was great to see the defense plays their hearts out like they’ve done all season. We knew a close game (at home) was coming at some point this season. That was today. I’m just proud of the fight that our guys showed.”
Army won its 10th game for the fourth time in program history and third time in Jeff Monken’s 11 years. The Black Knights had outscored their opponents 188-62 in their first five home wins.
“To be playing in the conference championship game in the first year is a little improbable,” Monken said. “It’s not something you anticipate. “I’m glad we joined the conference. It’s awesome to be in this position and have a chance to play for the conference championship. That’s not something you take for granted."
Army’s defense rose to the challenges all afternoon.
Kalib Fortner and Chance Keith combined to stop Brandon High short on 4th-and-1 from UTSA’s 16 on the first play of the fourth quarter.
