In a nail-biting finish, Army's quarterback Cale Hellums led his team to a 14-13 win over Temple on Saturday. Hellums' impressive performance included 118 yards rushing and a touchdown, as the Black Knights dominated the clock and secured the victory. The key to Army's success lay in their ability to manage the game's tempo, keeping the ball for 15 minutes longer than Temple. This strategy paid off as the team converted four out of five fourth-down attempts, including crucial conversions on the Temple 35 and 14-yard lines. The Owls' hopes of a comeback were dashed when Hellums slid at the Temple 4-yard line, gaining three crucial yards on the next play and ultimately securing the win with a pair of kneel downs. Army's offense was led by Hellums, who also contributed to the team's 7-0 lead in the second quarter with a 7-yard run by Jake Rendina. Temple's field goal on the last play of the first half gave them a 10-7 lead, but Hellums' 3-yard run capped a 14-play, 75-yard drive in the second half, securing Army's final points. In the end, Hellums' resilience and the Black Knights' disciplined play earned them a hard-fought victory, with Temple's Evan Simon throwing a 2-yard touchdown pass to Colin Chase being the only other notable highlight of the game.
