2010 Army Black Knights football team

The 2010 Army Black Knights football team represented the United States Military Academy in the 2010 college football season. The Black Knights, led by second-year head coach Rich Ellerson, competed as an Independent and played their home games at the Michie Stadium.

By winning 6 regular season games, Army became bowl-eligible for the first time since the 1996 season. They were invited to the Armed Forces Bowl against SMU, in University Park, Texas replacing a team from the Mountain West Conference. They defeated SMU 16–14 in the bowl to finish the season 7–6, their first winning season since 1996.

Eastern Michigan
The Black Knights defeated the Eastern Michigan Eagles for the third consecutive year, this being the second of the three decided by less than a touchdown. The game was tied twice and there were three lead changes. The teams combined for 594 yards rushing and only 96 yards passing. The game was delayed for about 12 minutes early in the second quarter when the public address system, the scoreboard, and the lights on the west (pressbox) side of the stadium went out. The lights eventually regained power, but the scoreboard and public address system remained inoperable for the remainder of the game. Notable performances included Army running back Jared Hassin's three touchdowns, 142 yards rushing by EMU's Dwayne Priest, and 126 yards rushing by EMU quarterback Alex Gillett.

The game was head coach Rich Ellerson's first against his alma-mater. Hawai'i jumped out to a 21-0 lead led by Quarterback Bryant Moniz's 3 touchdown passes. But Army rallied with 4 straight touchdowns of its own, including 2 by Malcom Brown. The Rainbow Warriors would have the final say as they scored late in the 3rd quarter to tie the game. Army was positioning itself for a game-winning field goal when backup Quarterback Max Jenkins fumbled the ball while simply trying to run to the middle of the field to gain position for a field goal attempt. The ball was recovered by the Hawai'i defense. The offense then drove down the field setting up the winning kick.

Moniz would finish the game with 343 yards passing to go with his 3 TD passes. Kealoha Pilares would rake in 6 passes for 104 yards and a touchdown. The Black Knights would chew up 250 yards on the ground and were led by Fullback Jared Hassin's 83 yards rushing to go along with 1 touchdown carry.

The win gave the Black Knights their first season since 1967 in which the team won 3 away games in one year. Although only half way through the current season, the 41 point scoring outburst also was good enough to surpass Army's season point total from 2009. Jared Hassin paced Army with 144 yards rusing and 2 TD runs. Quarterback Trent Steelman also rushed for 85 yards and a score while also throwing a touchdown pass to Davyd Brooks. Steelman only needed to attempt 5 passes all game as the Black Knights torched the Green Wave for 312 yards rushing.

Rutgers
Army dominated the first half of the contest staking a 17-3 lead at halftime but Rutgers would score 2 touchdowns in the 4th quarter en route to a 23-20 overtime win. The lead storyline of the game, however, would surround Rutgers defensive tackle Eric LeGrand, who was paralyzed from the neck down after making a tackle on kickoff return coverage in the 4th quarter of the contest. Rutgers quarterback, Chas Dodd, making his first career start for the Scarlet Knights led the comeback with 251 yards passing and two touchdown tosses. Army was paced by fullback Jared Hassin and quarterback Trent Steelman, both of whom, ran for over 100 yards and each scored a touchdown. Steelman also threw for 115 yards through the air.

In the overtime session Dodd hit Keith Stroud on third-and-6 to reach the 3-yard line, setting up Joe Martinek's winning 1-yard run two plays later. Army had driven down the field in their overtime possession but a broken play on a third-and-short led to a 1-yard loss by Steelman forcing the field goal. Army dominated Rutgers in total yardage holding a 404-250 advantage. The Black Knights also sacked Dodd a total of eight times including three by Josh McNary. However, Army was uncharacteristically penalized eight times for 94 total yards. Rutgers was held to -1 yards rushing for the game. The contest marked the first College Football game to be played at the New Meadowlands Stadium. Scoring summary

Jared Hassin ran for a career high 158 yards and scored a touchdown as the Black Knights came within one victory of bowl eligibility with a 29-7 victory over VMI.

The first points by the defense came in the second quarter when the Keydets were called for a holding penalty in their own end zone giving the defense credit for a safety. Then with just under 9 minutes left in the game the Black Knights sealed the win with a Donovan Travis interception at the Army 21, Travis then scrambled through traffic, and flipped a lateral to Jordan Trimble while falling to his knees. Trimble raced the final 42 yards, making it 29-7. VMI quarterback Eric Kordenbrock threw for 139 yards and Chaz Jones ran for 72 along with scoring their only touchdown of the day.

Notre Dame dominated Army 27-3 in the first ever football game played at the new Yankee Stadium. Army would jump out to a 3-0 lead on its first possession of the game but for the first time this season the Black Knights were held without an offensive touchdown. Irish freshman quarterback Tommy Rees led the offense with 214 yards passing and one TD pass in his second career start. Notre Dame kept the Army triple-option running game in check as the Black Knights rushed for a season-low 135 yards rushing as the Army offense went three-and-out on most possessions.

With some extra bleachers in left and right fields, the sellout attendance of 54,251 set a record for the largest crowd for a sporting event at the two-year-old ballpark.

Navy
Navy extended their winning streak over Army to nine straight with a 31-17 victory in Philadelphia. Ricky Dobbs paced the Midshipmen with 186 yards passing including 2 TD passes and 54 yards rushing. Two records would be broken in the storied rivalry as Dobbs would set the record for the longest touchdown pass in the series with a 77 yarder to John Howell in the first quarter. Wyatt Middleton of Navy would also set the record for the longest fumble return for a touchdown in the series with a 98 yard return in the second quarter.

The fumble recovery by Middleton would turn out to be the turning point in the contest. With Navy leading 17-7 Army had a first-and-goal at the Navy three-yard line when quarterback Trent Steelman tried to rush the ball in for a touchdown to pull the Black Knights to within 3 points just before the half. Steelman was stood up at the one-yard line and the ball was knocked loose right into Middleton's hands, he scampered untouched for the 98 yard score in what would amount to a 14 point swing-the eventual difference in the game.

Steelman paced the Army offense with 128 yards passing and two TD passes to Malcom Brown to go along with a team-high 74 yards rushing. Army would dominate the game from an offensive standpoint holding edges in, total yards, rushing yards, and time of possession. They would also hold a 4-2 edge on turnovers, but the fumble recovery and two big play TD passes by Dobbs would be too much to overcome.

SMU (Armed Forces Bowl)
Army picked up its first Bowl victory since 1985 and clinched its first winning season since 1996 with a 16-14 victory over SMU in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. Army's defense was the story in the first half as the Black Knights scored a defensive touchdown on a Josh McNary fumble recovery and also picked off SMU quarterback Kyle Padron twice. The Mustangs fought back though and Padron threw two second half touchdowns to bring the contest down to one score. SMU missed a 47-yard field goal attempt to take the lead with just a few minutes remaining in the contest, and Army was able to pick up two key first downs to close out the game.

Jared Hassin led the Black Knights offense with 82 yards rushing, which pushed him just over the 1,000 yard mark for the season. Army quarterback Trent Steelman was just 2 of 7 passing for 30 yards and also only rushed for 27 yards. However, interestingly enough for the Black Knights, who ranked last in the nation in passing yards per game, it was a 22-yard pass play from Steelman to Davyd Brooks that sealed the victory. SMU's offense was paced by Padron who threw for 302 yards to go along with his two TD throws. Tailback Zach Line rushed 17 times for 103 yards, while Darius Johnson led all receivers with 9 grabs for 152 yards and a touchdown.

Army senior linebacker Stephen Anderson was named the Army player of the game after contributing 14 tackles, an interception and a sack.
