Football: Schurr accounts for 3 TDs to help Army beat Bucknell, 21-14

WEST POINT, N.Y. — A.J. Schurr came off the bench to run for two touchdowns and threw for the winning score to help Army beat Bucknell 21-14 on Saturday.

Schurr connected with Edgar Poe, who won a jump ball over Nick O'Brien and ran all the way to the end zone for a 68-yard score, to put Army up with 4:44 left. Chris Carnegie intercepted R.J. Nitti on Bucknell's ensuing drive to clinch it.

Following a 44-3 rout by Duke last week, Army (2-5) won at home for the first time this season despite trailing at halftime 14-7. The Black Knights came back from a halftime deficit for the first time under second-year coach Jeff Monken, improving to 1-9 when down at the break.

Nitti finished 17 for 33 for 186 yards and Matt DelMauro added 105 on the ground for the Bison (3-3).
