The Armed Forces Bowl turned into an awesome showdown between Army and San Diego State.

Amazingly, the two teams combined for just 31 yards passing and two interceptions in the game, but they somehow managed to produce an incredible finish in the fourth quarter. Rashaad Penny, who had a monster game for SDSU, put the Aztecs up with his fourth touchdown of the game with just 5:47 left to play.

The Black Knights never panicked with senior QB Ahmad Bradshaw leading the way. He led the Knights down the field with Army scoring a touchdown with just 18 seconds left. The crucial moment came on the ensuing play as Army decided to go for two and the lead.

The coaching staff dialed up a sweep play, and the offense executed it to perfection. The RB walked absolutely untouched into the end zone to give Army the winning two-point conversion.

Here’s a look at the play from ESPN:


Kirk Herbstreit took time to congratulate Army and head coach Jeff Monken on Twitter for the big win:
