WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — Cale Hellums ran for 118 yards and a touchdown as the quarterback helped Army dominate the clock for a 14-13 win over Temple on Saturday.
The Black Knights (5-4, 3-3 American Athletic Conference) kept the ball 15 more minutes than the Owls (5-5, 3-3).
Temple punted the ball away with 9:53 left in the game and never got another snap as Army ran 18 plays to run out the clock. The drive started on the Army 42. The Black Knights converted a fourth-and-1 on the Temple 35 and another from the 14. Army finished the day 4 of 5 on fourth downs, 7 of 14 on third.
The Owls were ready to concede a touchdown but Hellums slid at the Temple 4, kept the ball for 3 yards on the next play and had a pair of kneel downs to wrap it up.
Army had an 11-play, 73-yard drive to take a 7-0 on a 7-yard run by Jake Rendina early in the second quarter.
