Army beats Air Force 10-7, wins Commander-in-Chief's Trophy

WEST POINT, N.Y. -- , With the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy at stake, Jakobi Buchanan made sure the prized hardware returned to West Point. Facing a fourth-and-goal from the 1, the 260-pound Army fullback followed senior captain left guard Mike Johnson through the Air Force line and into the end zone with 73 seconds left to give the Black Knights a 10-7 victory Saturday, their second emotional win in a week. Army (9-2) was coming off a hard-fought 15-0 victory over archrival Navy a week ago in the first game between the schools at West Point in 77 years. The win gave the Black Knights their ninth CIC, emblematic of supremacy among the three academies. “We were just determined,” said Buchanan, who finished with 86 yards rushing on 21 carries. “For us, fourth down is just another down to convert. We were all on the same page. We knew it was a game-winner. We had to get it.
