Against a team struggling to find any sort of identity \u2014 UTEP\u2019s first lead of the season came on Wadley\u2019s 1-yard run in the final moments of the first quarter \u2014 it didn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m happy to win. It certainly beats the failing of last weekend,\u201d Monken said. \u201cWhat we\u2019ve got to do is play better. There\u2019s a lot to clean up. We had to earn this one. They (UTEP) had themselves right there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army (3-2), coming off road losses to Ohio State and last week to Tulane, broke open a tight game with two touchdowns in the third quarter and another early in the fourth as Bradshaw finally displayed some nice touch throwing the ball. He finished 3 of 5 for 80 yards and rushed for 93 yards on 11 carries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UTEP (0-5) entered the game allowing an average of nearly 48 points per game but played Army to a 14-14 standoff in the first half, thanks to the solid play of Wadley, who finished with a career-high 156 yards on 28 carries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt didn\u2019t reflect in the final score, but I thought in all phases the kids went out and fought,\u201d UTEP coach Sean Kugler said. \u201cThis was a team last year that came to our place and completely annihilated us. I don\u2019t think they can say the same thing today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UTEP gained only 23 yards and failed to notch a first down in the third quarter as the game quickly slipped away. Army drove quickly to the go-ahead score as the Miners\u2019 offense sputtered and their defense had no answer for Army\u2019s triple option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bradshaw faked inside and broke a 42-yard run down the left side, Davidson followed with an 18-yard run up the middle and Connor Slomka finished a five-play drive with a 3-yard run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s where the tide turned,\u201d Kugler said. \u201cAgainst a team like Army you &#8230; have to make every possession count.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bradshaw, who last week failed to complete a pass in a game for the second time this season, finally broke out of his slump with a 42-yard scoring pass to Jordan Asberry midway through the third. Bradshaw\u2019s 24-yard completion to Jeff Ekejam set up Slomka\u2019s 13-yard TD on the third play of the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kahani Smith intercepted Army backup quarterback Luke Langdon and returned it 52 yards for a TD late in the quarter for UTEP\u2019s only points in the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year Army was reeling from the death of defensive back Brandon Jackson when it went on the road and slammed UTEP 66-14 in the emotional aftermath of the one-car accident that took the rising star\u2019s life. This game was totally different at the outset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Miners dominated time of possession and scored the only touchdown of the first quarter. The only downside was that starting quarterback Ryan Metz was hurt late in the drive on a keeper and was replaced by Zack Greenlee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey came out a lot harder than us,\u201d Slomka said. \u201cWe just needed some time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/37389718822_65c25a9a0a_k.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-85972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/37389718822_65c25a9a0a_k.jpg.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/37389718822_65c25a9a0a_k.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/37389718822_65c25a9a0a_k.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/37389718822_65c25a9a0a_k.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/37389718822_65c25a9a0a_k.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Black Knight&#8217;s No. 22 runs the ball Sept. 30, 2017, at Michie Stadium at West Point, N.Y. (West Point)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army scored twice in the second to take the lead as its formidable triple option awoke. The Black Knights repeatedly pounded the inside of the UTEP line, racking up 142 yards on the ground. Kell Walker ripped off a 27-yard run to set up Davidson\u2019s 32-yard touchdown run early in the second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After forcing a punt, the Black Knights drove 93 yards on 12 plays for a 14-7 lead. Bradshaw\u2019s nifty last-second pitch gave Calen Holt some room to run, and he scored his first career touchdown on a 19-yard scamper down the left side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Miners responded with a 73-yard scoring drive to tie the score, capped by Greenlee\u2019s 2-yard pass to tight end David Lucero with 35 seconds left in the half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THE TAKEAWAY<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>UTEP: <\/b>The Miners have a gamer in Wadley and if Kugler can get more production from the quarterback position he might be able to salvage something from the season. Greenlee finished 7 of 13 for 88 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>ARMY:<\/b> The Black Knights might want to be a little more conservative in the passing game, if that\u2019s possible. Bradshaw threw an incompletion on Army\u2019s first play from scrimmage and the Black Knights went into a funk for entire first period. Before Bradshaw hit Asberry for the third-quarter score, Army had completed only 4 of 24 passes for 36 yards with two interceptions on the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HOME SWEET HOME<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army is 3-0 at home to start a season for the first time since 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UP NEXT<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>UTEP:<\/b> The Miners are home to face Western Kentucky on Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>ARMY:<\/b> The Black Knights travel to Rice for a Saturday night game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army snapped its two-game losing streak and coach Jeff Monken was plenty happy \u2014 just not ecstatic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":85971,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":76,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"2":{"categories":["military-sports","off-duty"],"primary_category":"military-sports"}}},"categories":[100,76,25,13],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1663],"class_list":["post-47906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-military-sports","category-newsletters","category-off-duty"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"O6XMXKDZZJCORHUZNP4NFBPCFY","arc_canonical_url":"\/off-duty\/military-sports\/2017\/10\/01\/army-can-pass-too-black-knights-35-21-over-utep\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Army can pass, too;
