Facing Rice, which has been bitten by the turnover bug this season, Army forced turnovers on four straight possessions in the first half to build a big lead early in a 49-12 win on Saturday. “That was huge getting those turnovers,” Army coach Jeff Monken said. It set the tone for the rest of the game.”It was Army’s first win against Rice in Houston since beating the Owls 14-7 on November 8, 1958.
