In 2021, @ArmyWP_Football went unbeaten in the months of September and November.

While it marked as the first time in 25 years to open the season 4-0, it’s only occurred three times in 21 years to go unbeaten in November.

Two of those came under @CoachJeffMonken (2018, 2021).

While Buchanan played early in the game, the streak started later in 2019 game against Georgia State.

[Inside & Outside Army @InOutArmy]

Interesting.. thought he was only 4 short coming into the night

[Army Black Knights - Football Media Relations @ArmyFootballPR]

With @ArmyWP_Football RB JaKobi Buchanan’s 9th carry on the night to convert on 4th and short early in the third quarter, he is only four shy of reaching 250 consecutive carries without losing a yard.

@ArmyWP_Football QB Christian Anderson’s 22-yard rushing TD sets as his 16th rushing TD in his career and is his first time to reach the endzone in a Bowl game.

Anderson now has 23 total TDs combined in his career at Army.

[Army Black Knights - Football Media Relations @ArmyFootballPR]

@ArmyWP_Football QB Christian Anderson continues his explosive passing game, darting a 42-yard completion to RB Tyrell Robinson.

The 42-yard pass marks as the second-longest Black Knight completion in a Bowl game since 2015.

With @ArmyWP_Football LB Andre Carter’s sack on Missouri QB Brady Cook late in the first quarter, he now ties as the nation’s sack leader for 2021 (15.5 total sacks). | @NCAA
