Kelvin Hopkins Jr. – Noteworthy
Kelvin Hopkins Jr. was in no mood to talk after the best game of his career. Army’s quarterback overheated late in the afternoon and was inside the Black Knights locker room getting treatment. It was somehow fitting on a day Hopkins when made San Jose State’s defense look ill all afternoon. Hopkins ran for 99 yards and a season-high three touchdowns and threw for a fourth, and Army beat San Jose State 52-3 on Saturday. “It was a warm day out there and I think everybody got a little gassed, and he did too,” Black Knights coach Jeff Monken said. “So did I. I was looking for water in the middle of the third quarter. I stared to feel a little woozy in my knees.” Coming off a bye week and making their first trip to the West Coast in four years, the Black Knights (4-2) trailed 3-0 early in the second quarter before Hopkins and Army’s running game got going. Knocked out of the game briefly on the first series, Hopkins returned to engineer three long scoring drives to put Army comfortably ahead in the first-ever meeting between the teams. – AP College Football
