After the Tigers took a 2221 lead on a touchdown with 1:11 to play, third-string quarterbac­k Jabari Laws led Army (9-4) downfield to the Missouri 24-yard line, setting up Talley’s game-winner. Army backup quarterbac­k Tyhier Tyler came on after starter Christian Anderson was injured early in the fourth quarter and threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Walters to give the Black Knights their first lead, 21-16.

Redshirt freshman quarterbac­k Brady Cook threw a six -yard touchdown pass to Keke Chism with 71 seconds left to put the Tigers (6-7) ahead, but their twopoint conversion attempt failed. Cook also ran for a 30yard score in his first collegiate start.
