Playing host to Tulane this afternoon, the Army Black Knights carried France’s national flag out onto the field as the team entered Michie Stadium. They’ve got something special here. On Army’s ensuing drive, junior defensive tackle Tanzel Smart forced a fumble that was scooped up by redshirt-sophomore cornerback Parry Nickerson and returned 48 yards for a touchdown to give the Green Wave a 21-7 lead midway through the second stanza.
For the Black Knights (2-8), the 34-31 defeat marked their sixth loss by a touchdown or less.
Lee, wild and off-target for most of the day while continuing to play through an injured finger on his throwing hand, completed 3 of 4 passes on the drive, including a critical third-down throw to receiver Devon Breaux.
Teddy Veal had 123 receiving yards and a touchdown and Dontrell Hilliard added 91 rushing for the Green Wave (3-7, 1-5 American Athletic Conference), which notched its first road win of the season. Case in point: the blocked punt at the end of the first half.

After intercepting Lee’s pass at the end of the third, the Black Knights scored a 38-yard field goal making it a close 28-24 with 14:50 left in the game. The Green Wave is reeling from a five-game losing streak.
Tulane matched that scoring drive with a nine-play, 56-yard drive of their own that culminated in a 31-yard field goal off the foot of DiRocco.

“I have the highest amount of respect for those guys, and I just wanted to tell as many of them as I could”, said Lee, who finished 14-for-29 for 252 yards and shook hands with a number of the cadets following the game. The following week, Tulane will close out their season on Friday, November 27, at Yulman Stadium in a tilt against Tulsa.
