After eight plays and three first downs Duckett took the ball from the 4-yard line for a West Point touchdown. Mark Laney completed a field goal, putting the Warriors on top by seven at the end of the first.

Devlin Hodges was the starting quarterback as the Devils started their first position drive. The drive ended on the next play with fumble that was recovered by West Point, who then missed a 46-yard field goal.

With 1:26 left in the first quarter, Marquis Dobbs ran the ball in from the 1-yard line. Austin Byrom kicked the point after attempt and tied the game at 7-7.

With 25 seconds left, Blue Devil Caleb Gandy picked off a West Point pass attempt. Jordan capitalized with a 35-yard left sweeping run by Dobbs into the end zone for a touchdown. Byrom’s point after kick was good to put the Devils up by a touchdown at the end of the first quarter.

The Devils later pushed the ball to their own 36-yard line, where Dobbs ran the ball in for a touchdown with 10 minutes left.

Warrior Tate Duckett carried the ball the six yards for a score.
