One week after Military suffered a head-scratching residence loss to FCS Tarleton State, the Black Knights responded with an upset highway victory.
Military went into Manhattan, Kansas, on Saturday night and emerged with a 24-21 victory over Kansas State after an interception by Collin Matteson allowed Military to take the air out of the soccer.
As CBS School Basketball reporter Jon Rothstein would possibly say: “Anarchy? Nope. Simply faculty basketball soccer.”
Military fell behind 13-0 within the second quarter, and it could’ve been utterly comprehensible if the Black Knights faltered and let Kansas State run away with a straightforward victory.
However Military responded with a landing simply earlier than halftime and refused to again down within the second half.
A 14-play, 7:54 drive late within the fourth quarter gave Military the lead, and Matteson’s interception allowed the Black Knights to expire the clock and safe one of many largest victories in program historical past.
The victory is Military’s first in opposition to a Energy 4 program for the reason that 2021 Armed Forces Bowl, when the Black Knights took down Missouri.
Military will return residence to West Level subsequent week to face North Texas with loads of momentum behind them, whereas Kansas State will try and bounce again from the humiliating residence loss with a highway journey to Arizona.
The Wildcats suffered a season-opening loss to Iowa State in Dublin on Aug. 23 earlier than narrowly snagging a win in opposition to North Dakota on Aug. 30.
