Feinstein's Findings: A Texas-Sized Shootout

Last team with the ball wins. First team to 50 wins. Get ONE stop.
         
Welcome to football clichés 101 for November 19th, 2017. Sadly, each of them fits Army's dizzying 52-49 loss to North Texas on Saturday night. Army had tied the game for the FOURTH time in the second half with 1:23 left at 49-49, Andy Davidson taking the ball in for the tying score from the 1-yard line.
         
As it turned out, that left too much time on the clock for the Mean Green. They had the ball last and the Black Knights couldn't get the one stop they needed. Trevor Moore kicked a 39-yard field goal with five seconds left and Army's six-game winning streak was over.
         
In the grand scheme of things, the loss isn't terribly damaging, except perhaps to egos—especially on the defensive side of the ball. The only thing the Black Knights can't do now that they could have done with a victory is win a school-record 11 games this season. They can still win 10 and, most important, the can still win the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy for the first time since 1996. Saturday wasn't going to have any affect on the CIC or Army's bowl status or anything else really important.
         
That doesn't mean losing didn't hurt.
