Army quarterback Bryson Daily engineered a 21-play drive and scored his second touchdown as the No.25 Black Knights pulled away in the second half to topple North Texas 14-3 on Saturday in an American Athletic Conference game in Denton, Texas.

Following his first touchdown to take a 7-3 lead in the first half, Daily created separation with a TD after leading a 94-yard drive that took 13:54 off the clock.

In winning for the 13th straight time, the Black Knights (9-0, 7-0 AAC) used multiple long drives to extend the nation's longest winning streak and frustrate the Air Raid attack of the Mean Green (5-4, 2-3).

Daily rushed for a game-high 153 yards on 36 carries and finished 2-for-4 passing for 15 yards and an interception. Kanye Udoh had 65 yards on 13 carries, while Noah Short added 41 yards on six rushes.

Army rushed for 293 yards on 64 attempts and held the opposition to a field goal for the second consecutive game.

North Texas quarterback Chandler Morris was 24 of 37 for 214 yards with two interceptions.

The Black Knights' impressive 12-game streak of not trailing came to an end when North Texas got a 31-yard field goal from Kali Nguma after a massive 18-play, 62-yard drive over the first 6:50 on its first possession.

Army responded by using a short field to go 48 yards in nine plays for the lead. Daily called his own number on second down and went untouched for 10 yards and a 7-3 advantage.

The visitors' defense stood strong in the second quarter as the front forced a turnover on downs, stuffing Makenzie Gill II at the 2 for a perfectly executed goal-line stand.

On the final snap of the half as Army lined up for a 31-yard field-goal attempt, the Black Knights tried a fake, but the Mean Green stopped holder Matthew Rhodes on the run to trail by four at the break.

In the second half, Daily was picked off by Brian Nelson II, but the quarterback cashed in on the second possession.

Army held the ball for 10:38 of the third quarter, and the series carried over into the fourth when Daily plunged in on the 21st play from two yards at 11:44.

The Mean Green moved inside the red zone in the final minutes, but Justin Weaver made a sliding interception in the end zone for a touchback.
