Army captures first conference title in 134 years with win over Tulane

Army football won its first conference title in 134 years by defeating Tulane 35-14 in the American Athletic Conference championship. This victory marks Army's second 11-win season, both under coach Jeff Monken. Bryson Daily led the Black Knights with 126 rushing yards and four touchdowns. Army established a strong lead early, capitalizing on Tulane's mistakes, including turnovers and a failed field goal attempt. Army, now 11-1, will face Navy next week in a nonconference game. This matchup is significant as both teams are now in the American Athletic Conference, with the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy on the line for the first time since 2017.
