"I am proud of our team. I am proud of our players, our coaching staff and the effort they put in to give ourselves a chance today to win." Monken said. "I think our guys are playing really hard. They're playing together and with great effort. You've got to execute, and we've found a way to do that."
It had been 70 games since Army (2-0) won two in a row, and it's the first time the Black Knights have started a season with two straight wins since 1996. Ronnie McAda led that team to nine straight wins and a national ranking to start the season.
"It feels great. I don't even know how to describe it," Army quarterback Ahmad Bradshaw said. "It's a great feeling to know we've done something that hasn't been done in a while."
The Army offense finished with 348 yards rushing as its triple option continued to perform at a high level — it has not had a turnover in either game, the first time that's happened in consecutive outings in three years.
The Black Knights had 329 rushing yards in last week's season-opening 28-13 win over Temple. That was a breakthrough moment of sorts, and they continued to ride the momentum from that game against these Owls on a sweltering day at Michie Stadium.

RATE! COMMENT! SUBSCRIBE! THAT EASY! The fight song for the Black Knights of the Army academy.
Thanks for sharing the news SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. As USMA cadets we used to sing "On, Brave Old Army Team"
"The Army team's the pride and dream
Of every heart in gray.
The Army line you'll ever find
A terror in the fray;
And when the team is fighting
for the Black and Gray and Gold,
We're always near with song and cheer
And this is the tale we're told:
The Army team
(Band and whistle)
Rah Rah Rah
(cannon shot)
On, brave old Army team,
On to the fray:
Fight on to victory,
For that's the fearless Army way."
But one of the more moving songs we memorized and sang was:
"The Caissons Go Rolling Along
Over hill, over dale
As we hit the dusty trail,
And the Caissons go rolling along.
In and out, hear them shout,
Counter march and right about,
And the Caissons go rolling along.
Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.
Over hill, over dale
As we hit the dusty trail,
And the Caissons go rolling along.
In and out, hear them shout,
Counter march and right about,
And the Caissons go rolling along.
Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.
That the Caissons go rolling along.
That the Caissons go rolling along."
