Robinson scored his fifth touchdown on a 93-yard pass from Zac Dahman with 11:32 left to secure the win for Army (1-4, 1-2 Conference USA). Robinson ran for 82 yards as Army amassed 284 yards on the ground and had 111 yards receiving.

But Army responded with four straight touchdowns. Robinson scored on runs of one and two yards and caught a two-yard TD pass from Dahman to give Army a 19-7 lead.

Jones then scored on a four-yard run to make it 26-7 with 13:27 left in the half.
