Fortune favors the bold, but it would not be so for the Redhawks (3-5) as Miami went for two and came up short on a bizarre final play to secure the win for Army (5-2).
Miami rallied to score 14 points in the fourth quarter to force overtime. The teams traded field goals in the first overtime and in the second, Darnell Woolfolk ran in for his second touchdown of the game. The Redhawks scored on Gus Ragland's fourth touchdown pass when Chuck Martin decided to roll the dice.
The Black Knights nearly sacked Ragland on the two-point try, but he was able to escape somehow and find Kenny Young, who nearly cut through Army defenders before being tackled just short of the end zone.
Army hopes for a much less exciting victory when they head to Eastern Michigan (4-4) next.
