Overview

• Army led 17-0 at halftime on a rainy afternoon at Michie Stadium and secured a second straight victory.
• Cale Hellums, making his third start, broke a 50-yard run to set up his rushing touchdown and directed three first-half scoring drives.
• A 17-play, 85-yard drive that drained 10:51 ended with Carson Smith’s first career touchdown, and Dawson Jones hit a 38-yard field goal before the break.
• The result moves Army to 3-3 overall and 2-2 in the American, while Charlotte falls to 1-5 and 0-3 in the teams’ first meeting.
• Coach Jeff Monken praised the defense but criticized a sluggish second half and a late 49ers score with eight seconds left; Army travels to Tulane next.
