Hellums' late TD pass to Poloskey lifts Army past UTSA 27-24
Hellums completed two fourth-down passes during a 13-play, 75-yard drive that took over six minutes and ended with his 4-yard toss to Parker Poloskey with 2:49 to go. UTSA’s final drive ended on downs.
Army (6-5, 4-4 American) had to have the win in this conference finale to become bowl eligible as matchups are announced Dec. 7, before the Black Knights’ regular-season finale against Navy on Dec. 13 in Baltimore.
Owen McCown threw a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown passes to rally UTSA (6-6, 4-4), taking a 24-20 lead on his 7-yard pass to Jamel Hardy. The Roadrunners had cut the Black Knights’ lead to 20-17 on McCown’s 8-yard toss to Patrick Overmyer.
Army trailed 10-0 early then scored 17 straight points before halftime beginning with Noah Short taking a pitch and running for an 81-yard score. Jaydan Mayes took a tipped pass and ran it back for a 73-yard pick-6.
USTA wide receiver David Amador II threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Overmyer for the game's first points.
Short rushed for 127 yards on 14 carries and Hellums added 90 on 23. Hellums threw just 10 passes, completing four, including the three crucial ones in the fourth quarter. Dawson Jones kicked two field goals.
McCown was 27-of-40 for 266 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
