"Our guys played their hearts out," Tarleton State head coach Todd Whitten said, via the school’s website. "I don't have the words to tell you how proud I am of these guys. They are just outstanding. Our coaches had a great game plan. It's a great win for our program. 

"We have not played very well against teams (in FBS) the last few years and (Army) has a good team. They were 12-2 a year ago. This is an outstanding day for our football program, our university and everyone involved."

Army won the American Athletic Conference last year and the Independence Bowl.

The Black Knights suffered an injury in the final moments of regulation.
