It was the ultimate clash of styles.
Army ran the ball at a top-5 rate in the FBS. Florida Atlantic passed the ball at a top-5 rate.
In the battle between the ground-savvy Black Knights and the air-reliant Owls, the run game won out — in dominant fashion. Army handled Florida Atlantic 56-24 Saturday afternoon in Michie Stadium, giving the Black Knights their third consecutive conference victory, while FAU suffered its first conference defeat.
Florida Atlantic's 324 passing yards and three touchdowns were no match for Army's dominance on the ground. The Black Knights exploded for 479 rushing rushing yards and eight touchdowns on an 8.0 average.
Cale **** ums, fresh off a career-high 223 rushing yards, continued his rampage with another memorable performance. The quarterback accumulated 195 yards in a follow-up act and tied the Army program record for most rushing touchdowns in a game. **** ums now sits atop the leaderboard with running back Carlton Jones (2004) and quarterbacks Kelvin Hopkins Jr. (2018) and Bryson Daily (2024) after running in five scores against Florida Atlantic. He also sits atop a season leaderboard, ranking first among FBS quarterbacks with 120 rushing yards per game.
