The Black Knights claimed a commanding 35-14 victory over the Green Wave, with quarterback Bryson Daily delivering an outstanding performance by scoring four touchdowns.

Daily rushed for 126 yards, second only to teammate Kanye Udoh, who recorded an impressive 158 yards and added a touchdown of his own. This triumph over Tulane also marked Army's first-ever conference win, making it a historic moment for the team.

Here's what Jeff Monken, the Knights head coach, had to say after the win:

"I've coached a lot of football games. I've coached a lot of seasons. And there's very few times in my career I've been as proud of a football team as I am of this one tonight. You guys, for the entire season, including tonight, the entire season, the grit, determination, the confidence, this is it. This is a great football team."

The Knights have set their eyes on winning against the Navy in Week 15 of the college football season.
