Army throws 'pick-6' on kickoff return vs. Tulane

Now here's something you don't see every day: Army threw a "pick-6" on a kickoff return during Saturday's game against Tulane. 

It happened in the fourth quarter with Tulane already holding a 31-12 lead. Army freshman running back Tyrell Robinson caught the kickoff on the 1-yard line, ran to about the 10-yard line and then threw a backwards pass across the field intended for a teammate. Unfortunately, the trick play attempt backfired spectacularly, as Tulane senior wide receiver Jaetavian Toles came down the field on kickoff coverage, read the play and caught the throw from Robinson on the 8-yard line. With no one between Toles and the end zone, it was an easy score for the Green Wave.

Pick-6 on a kickoff?! 😬

In the box score, the busted trick play is scored as a fumble for Robinson and a fumble recovery for Toles (his second of the game). Unofficially, however, it might has well have been a "pick-6". 

It was that kind of day for Army as Tulane defeated them 38-12.

Army OL Mike Johnson headbutts coach with helmet on

Army Black Knights offensive lineman Mike Johnson was a little too pumped up during Saturday's game against Cincinnati, and one of his assistant coaches paid the price. 

It happened during a timeout Army's opening offensive drive of the second half. With Cincinnati holding a 10-7 lead, Army had just converted a 3rd-and-9 for a first down at the Cincinnati 42-yard line. As the Army players came towards the sideline for the timeout, Johnson found fullback coach Mike Viti and gave him a huge headbutt. Johnson was wearing a helmet. Viti was not. 

Watch the video closely here, courtesy of ESPN. It happens on the right side of the video at the 1-second mark.

   

Viti was clearly a bit woozy in the seconds after the headbutt. He seemed to be shake the cobwebs off after about a minute, but appeared to have a small cut on his cheek from the impact of the helmet. 

In addition to Viti being knocked silly, the headbutt by Johnson seemed to bring Army some negative karma. On the very next play after the timeout, Army turned the ball over on a fumble by Christian Anderson. Cincinnati took the ball and scored on their offensive drive, making the score 17-7. The 22nd-ranked Black Knights would never recover as 14th-ranked Cincinnati won the game 24-10.

Hopefully next time, Johnson can keep the physical contact to opposing players on the field.
