Opportunistic Army scores bowl win over SMU, 16-14
Posted on 2 Jan 2011 by Donald Lappe.
Coming into the game against SMU, Army's struggles in pass coverage were well-documented. The Mustangs burned the Black Knights for 45 yards on the first play from scrimmage when Kyle Padron found Aldrick Robinson downfield. Here we go again, right? We saw this against Air Force, Notre Dame, and Navy in recent weeks. Then, after a 6 yard completion by Padron, the complexion of the game changed...

Army loses 9th straight matchup with Navy, 31-17
Posted on 12 Dec 2010 by Donald Lappe.
Add another group of Army football players to the growing list of student-athletes without a win over archrival Navy. The Black Knights got off to a slow start, and some sloppy execution on offense led to untimely turnovers that ultimately sealed their fate. The big play killed the Army defense again on Saturday, with Ricky Dobbs connecting on a 77 yard touchdown pass to John Howell. Navy would...

Army beaten by Notre Dame 27-3
Posted on 21 Nov 2010 by Donald Lappe.
After a Donovan Travis interception in the end zone gave the Army offense the ball on their own 20 yard line, the Black Knights marched 78 yards on 17 plays, chewing up almost nine minutes of the first quarter. An Alex Carlton field goal gave Army a 3-0 lead. The formula worked. Employ the “bend but don't break” defense, run the ball, control the clock, and come away with points. Mi...

A Big Win On A Big Stage

Six points. That’s the amount of points the Irish defense has allowed in the month of November. Seven Points. That’s the amount of points the Irish defense has scored in the month of November. Add in a special teams touchdown to that equation and it wouldn’t have mattered if the Irish gained a yard of offense in the years eleventh month, they’d still be 2 – 0. A lot of thing...

Home Runs On The Menu For Irish at Yankee Stadium

Of all the storylines we’ve seen over the years, one hasn’t entered the equation. How will Notre Dame handle success? Yes, success. The second chapter to a big time win is how you respond the following week against an opponent that is generally considered inferior. Think about it. This team knows nothing except disappoint. So many times, they’ve been on the other side. They’ve been lo...

Going For the Win
Posted on 14 Nov 2010 by Steve Schwanda.
CMU traveled to Navy with not a lot to play for. A week after having a big win at home on senior day over your arch rival and a 3-7 record a late non conference game didn't really mean anything for the Chippewas. However, CMU showed a lot of fight and played with great effor against a 7-3 Navy team that saw CMU lost a heart breaker 38-37. CMU scored with 4 seconds to go on a 4th and 2, but just...

Becoming bowl eligible does not guarantee Army a spot. Click here for a rundown of the bowl situation. Arm...

Ranked Team Coming to South Bend…hide the kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted on 13 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
The good news? Notre Dame had two weeks to prepare for the Utah Utes. The bad news? Almost everything else. Although this space has looked long and hard, it hasn’t found a way Notre Dame emerges victorious in their third to last game of what’s become a long and trying season. What’s worse is that we don’t see a ton of ways this game is close, either. The equation that adds up to a clo...

What Now?
Posted on 10 Nov 2010 by Steve Schwanda.
After a big come from behind win over arch rival Western Michigan the CMU football team now goes on the road for their final two games of the 2010 season. Up first is a non conference match up with Navy. On the surface there is really no reason to play this game. CMU can not make a bowl, and they can not have a winning season. But the Chippewa football team, lead by their seniors are a proud bu...
