The 2017 Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl was a heated battle with San Diego State and Army going back and forth to control the lead. San Diego State’s Rashaad Penny not only put the Aztecs on the board first, but he ended the day with 4 touchdowns and a FBS record to cap off his college career. In the end, this was all about Army’s big win, capping off its first 10-win season since 1996.
The Aztecs got on the board in the first quarter with an 81-yard run from Penny, but Army answered with quarterback Ahmad Bradshaw’s 19-yard run into the end zone to tie the game. Fast forward to the second quarter when Penny had a 32-yard run to score, followed immediately by a Bradshaw handoff to Darnell Woolfolk for a 7-yard carry to tie the game at 14.
After halftime, Army came back with an Andy Davidson touchdown. The Aztecs’ Juwan Washington had a 78-yard kickoff return to bring the game to a 21-all tie, and then Penny delivered another 49-yard run home to make it 28-21, Aztecs.
In the fourth quarter, it was another rinse and repeat with Bradshaw running the ball 27 yards for a touchdown to tie the game (again) and Penny answering with his fourth TD, a 4-yard jump into the end zone to take the Aztecs to a 35-28 lead. Woolfolk scored with 18 seconds left to make it a one-point game. Army went for the two points and made it, taking the lead 36-35. Army intercepted the ball in the final play of the game to bring it to 42-35 for the win.
