Army runs wild over Air Force

Trent Steelman rushed for 101 yards and scored twice, the Army defense held Air Force’s high-powered offense in check for three quarters, and the Black Knights beat the Falcons 41-21 yesterday in West Point, N.Y., to snap a six-game losing streak in the series.

Army (2-7) also stopped a 13-game skid in service academy games and stayed in the hunt for its first Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy since 1996. The coveted hardware goes to the academy with the best record in the annual round-robin competition. Air Force (5-4) has won it outright the past two seasons.

Harvard 69, Columbia 0

In Cambridge, Mass., Colton Chapple passed for three touchdowns and ran for another as Harvard (7-1, 4-1 Ivy League) routed Columbia (2-6, 1-4).

Wagner 30, Albany 0

In Albany, Nick Doscher threw for a pair of touchdowns, Wagner allowed just 188 total yards and the Seahawks (6-3, 6-1 NEC) — without power all week on their Staten Island campus — toppled the Great Danes (7-2, 5-1) for first place in the conference.

Bucknell 27, Fordham 24

In Lewisburg, Pa., Tyler Smith scored three touchdowns as Bucknell (2-7) snapped a seven-game losing streak with the win over Fordham (5-4). The Rams, who led 21-7 at halftime, got 116 rushing yards and two TDs from Carlton Koonce.

South Florida 13, Connecticut 6

In Tampa, Fla., B.J. Daniels ran for a first-quarter touchdown before leaving in the fourth with a season-ending left ankle injury as South Florida (3-6, 1-4 Big East) stopped a school-record six-game losing streak by beating Connecticut (3-6, 0-4).
