2010 BELL HELICOPTER ARMED FORCES BOWL - Army's wins and losses in recent seasons have many timesbeen determined by the turnover margin. Before a Gerald J. Ford Stadium record crowd of 36,742, the BlackKnightsused three first half turnovers to provide the spark for a 16-14 triumph over SMU in the eighth annual Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. The victory pushed Army's final record to 7-6, the first winning season in 14 years. SMU wound up with a 7-7 ledger. On SMU's third play of the game, quarterback Kyle Pardon fumbled and senior defensive end Josh McNary picked up the loose ball and ran 55 yards for a touchdown to give Army a lead it never relinquished. Linebacker Stephen Anderson, Army'sMost Outstanding Player with his game-high 14 tackles, and sophomore defensive backJosh Jackson had first half interceptions to stall SMU drives. Army entered the game tied for seventh nationally in turnover margin at +1.08 a game. Since the start of the 2006 season, the Black Knights are 14-4 when winning the turnover battle. Despite holding the edge in the turnover battle and benefitting from two missed SMU field goals, Army need two big offensive playsto secure the win. After SMU's Matt Szymanski missed a 47-yard field goal with 4:05 remaining in the game with Army nursing a 16-14 lead, the Black Knights offense ran out the clock thanks to two big third down plays. On third-and-five from their own 35-yard line with 3:20 showing on the clock, quarterbackTrent Steelman ran for six yards and a first down. Then facing a third-and-four from the Army 47-yard line with 1:18 remaining, Steelman connected with Davyd Brooks with a 22-yard pass to seal the victory.

GERALD J. FORD STADIUM In the history of the SMU f ootball program, June 13, 1997 and September 2, 2000, may stand out as the most signif icant day s since the program's inception in 1915.
