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...

The Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl: Army-SMU
Posted on 29 Dec 2010 by Donald Lappe.
It has been an interesting season for the Army football program. With six wins, the Black Knights are in a bowl game for the first time since 1996. There have been big wins, missed opportunities, and a few bad defeats, but the program is clearly moving forward. The tilt with SMU presents a chance to get a bowl victory, which would be a nice feather in Rich Ellerson's cap. When and Where: Thursd...

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...

Army falls to Air Force

OT loss drops Army to 4-3
Posted on 17 Oct 2010 by Donald Lappe.
For the third time this season, Army was able to steal defeat from the jaws of victory. Army has not been a good fourth quarter team this year, and they proved it again Saturday. Bad penalties have also become a disturbing trend for this team. Army opened the day's scoring with 2:45 remaining in the first quarter on a 3-yard Trent Steelman touchdown run, part of another big performance from the...

Army football midseason report card
Posted on 14 Oct 2010 by Donald Lappe.
After six games, the Army football team sits at 4-2, which is very similar to what I had envisioned prior to the season. There have been some surprises, however. This team could easily be 6-0. I thought they would struggle against Hawaii, but they outplayed the Warriors up until an untimely fumble by backup quarterback Max Jenkins ended the drive to set up the game-winning field goal attempt. T...
