Please Don't Wake Me Up!

Could you imagine a 2023 Army starting triple option backfield of Champ Harris (QB); Jakobi Buchanan (FB); Tyrell Robinson (Slotback) and Kanye Udoh (RB) with WRs Isaiah Alston and Noah Short or Ay'Jaun Marshall?

And if you consider the depth behind that with the likes of Hayden Reed and others... oh my goodness!

Army Football Official Army-LSU (10/21) Game Prediction Thread

Yes, there is a GBK thread (GBK: Predicting Army Black Knights' 2023 Campaign) whereby Joe Iacono gives his prediction of the upcoming season, which kicked off on 9/2.

And yes, here we are again (aka Déjà vu ) where the Black Knights are coming off of another rain-drenched home loss at the hands of Troy, whereby Coach Monken and his crew were shutout, 19-0 at Michie Stadium.

We have been saying over the past couple of weeks that “This weekend’s game is a “must win” for the Black Knights ... plain & simple. One reason was pretty obvious and that was week No. 8, Army would be on the road facing LSU. Well, guess what? It's week No. 8 and the Black Knights hit the road to take on the 19th-ranked Tigers.

With being said, chime in with your prediction for Saturday's upcoming contest.

Coach Prime's Shock Force

Playing 22 starters from the Transfer Portal Coach Deon is living up to his hype as CO leads a 20.5 Vegas favorite TCU 24-21 early 3rd Qtr. If his D can hold up , we have a huge upset in the making . Whatever the case, the Transfer Portal Revolution is in full force and here to stay ....... and we have yet to witness its full impact across FBS football.

FBS wins getting harder thanks to easier transfers.

When Army scheduled teams like Troy, UTSA, Coastal Carolina, and even ULM, I suppose that the intention was to be playing games Army might be favored to win. But that’s not what we are experiencing lately.

The transfer portal is spreading out the talent in college football and that’s hurting Army. Teams in the PAC-12, ACC, B12, Big Ten and SEC can no longer hoard 3 and 4 star level talent on their benches and depth charts. Those players now move around and start on Sunbelt teams, AAC teams, and other G5 teams we are playing. They even spread around to other P5 teams out from blue bloods like Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, Michigan etc…

Army has to get better just to stay competitive and not fall behind the competition. We are also having to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to keep our stadium competitive and generate more revenue.

This 2023 Army Team is far more talented then our 2013 team if you go pound for pound and position by position. But it is just as hard or maybe even harder to win football games today.

The Inside Stuff Why GBK & The 12th Knight Premium Message Board?

hhchakfkdadwetni0nne


We are often asked why subscribe to GoBlackKnights.com? Although there are several affirming answers that we can share, let’s start with one of the crown jewels to membership with GoBlackKnights.com, which is access to our premium message board "The 12th Knight".

Interact with Army West Point football fans as avid as you on a daily basis and discuss who you believe will be battling for various starting positions or will Coach Jeff Monken and his staff is able to duplicate the historic 2018 season, which saw the Black Knights conclude the campaign as the No. 19th team in the country.


And Army followed through with solid seasons in 2019 & 2020.

That was then and here we are coming off of an awesome 2021 season with a 9-4 record with so many stories that embellished this past season. Some were about specific games, while others are about individual accomplishments that span the entire season. They ranged from OT Win over Air Force in the Inaugural Commander’s Classic to the Black Knights’ Armed Forces Bowl win over Missouri to The Multi-Quarterback Strategy and so much more …

This is where the fans gather to discuss the latest on the recruiting trail, coaching moves, player updates, and anything involving Army football.

For example, here are just a few fan comments and interactions on the 12th Knight relative to our recent Q&A article with fullback coach, Mike Viti.


That was by far my favorite read and article ever on GBK. Thank you GBK and thank you Coach Viti for that insight on our fullbacks, fullback recruiting and fullback game management. Great stuff! -Pack1231

Beyond excellent interview. I love the insight on Coach Viti's and the offense's philosophy with our smash mouth fullbacks. I am even more hyped now to see what they are able to do this season! -Mack 270

After reading the Viti interview I am feeling much better about replacing our three departing seniors. Hearing the Viti game plan play by play and game by game gives me confidence that it’s just a matter of experience before the new crew is ready to make big contributions. His mentality fits perfectly into Monken’s hard nosed 15 round fight. Michigan is going to be a huge early test but it’s their second game also and they have a lot of new players to bring up to speed. If Army can stay close for three quarters anything can happen in the 15th round. Great Article - BCSgator

Coaches normally give us mostly "coach speak" and do not provide much specific information on players. Also the press releases from the sports people say things like "The team practiced various drills under sunny skies". This interview was a welcomed exception. Please try to get more of these interviews - especially with the offensive and defensive coordinators. -BigMatt60
