Obviously, no team can hold every halftime lead. But after 4 games this season Army has led every game this year at halftime but only won half of those games.
During the 2022 season Army also held halftime leads against UTSA, Air Force, and Troy and lost. Additionally, Coastal Carolina was tied 14-14 at halftime and a loss. Army trailed ULM, Wake Forest, and GA State last year at the half and only managed to comeback against ULM.
Army defenses seem to wear down as the game progresses. Our opponents have picked up on this trend and favor hurry up offense to take advantage and to prevent us from getting set.
Two things I take from this. First, it is incredibly important for Army to get ahead and possess the ball on offense. The second thing is that we may need to play on defense differently in second halves.
