--Army has reached five wins for the first time since 1996 after scoring a 17-13 road win at North Texas Saturday. The victory moved the Black Knights to 5-6, and an upset of Navy Dec. 12 would send the Black Knights to the EagleBank Bowl.

--The Dec. 12 game will be the 110th Army-Navy game and Navy has won the last seven meetings to take a 53-49-7 all-time series lead.

--QB Trent Steelman, making his 11th straight start, ran for 132 yards on 23 carries in the win at North Texas, saving his best for last. On the first play after defensive end Marcus Hilton blocked a late field goal, Steelman, who was supposed to pass, ran 55 yards down to the North Texas 2, and then scored the winning touchdown two plays later.

--Army left its regular defense on the field for a late field goal attempt, blocked the kick and wound up winning the game.

--Freshman DB Ty Shrader, playing in his first college game, had already recovered a fumble and then intercepted a pass at Army's 40 with 1:01 left to ensure the win.

"We were down by three and there was not one minute that we thought the game was over," he said. "Trent had a huge run and he got down there and put it in. The defense got on the field we knew they were going to pass it. I knew they were going to stop the clock on a five-yard out. I just cut it off."

GAME BALL GOES TO: The Army defense -- Talk about bend but don't break, the Black Knights gave up all kinds of yardage in the win but also produced five turnovers and a key blocked field goal, all the big plays coming in Army territory. Four of the turnovers were at or inside the Army 20 and defensive end Marcus Hilton's field goal blocked led to the winning score.

KEEP AN EYE ON: The growth of the Army program. There might be few who think the Knights will beat Navy Dec. 12. But just the fact that a bowl berth hangs in the balance is a tribute to progress and a little extra something to fight for in the ultimate rivalry game.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "The Navy game means a lot but this one is that much more important because it was either keep our hopes for a bowl game alive or go home." -- Army defensive end Marcus Hilton after his team pulled out at 17-13 win at North Texas.
