Two things Not a lot of people are talking about

jiacono
Hi everyone, I brought this up in my interview with Alex Aukerman tonight but two huge keys to the game that I haven’t heard many people discuss (one favors Navy and one favors Army) are:
1) Army has a size advantage in the trenches - and it’s not statistically insignificant. I noticed at the very beginning of the AF game that Army was bigger in the trenches and able to push AF around. I think the same thing can happen Saturday. Of course Newberry will load the box with 8-9 and dare Army to throw but if the Black Knights can complete a couple key passes to loosen up Navy’s D, we could be in for a very good day.
2) Coach Monken mentioned in his presser having to prepare for all 3 Navy QB’s and that he expects to see all 3. Quite frankly, a hobbled Arline concerns me the least of the 3. I also don’t know how healthy Lavatai is. Lavatai is the better passer and Arline is always a threat to break a long run, but neither of them put the fear of God in me.
Plebe Braxton Woodson, however is 6’3”, has an OK arm and is fast. He’s similar to HC’s QB Sluka with less experience and a worse arm but he could be a problem. I am glad JM and Coach Woody have the D prepared to face all 3 QB’s because Navy will probably play 2 or 3 early and stick with whoever has the “hot hand.”

Hey GBK Joe Iacono?

Armyrusher22

Hey Joe (Iacono) - what the heck are you ranting about in your post-game recap when it comes to you saying that Holy Cross is a dirty and classless football team?

You mentioned a couple of things. First was a receiver on their team who saluted the crowd on Veteran’s Day and you called it bush league and totally uncalled for. Come on, really?

The other moment you pointed out was when the receiver caught a clutch TD and then pushed the ball into our DBs chest in the end zone, which they received a penalty for was a bad play and decision by the receiver, but CLASSLESS?

You even said that every time an Army player was trying to help them (Holy Cross players) up, they were taking the Army players’ hands. Seriously? Go ask Dick Butkus or Lawrence Taylor or Ed Reed how they would respond. THIS IS FOOTBALL!!!

And you pointed out that those things shouldn’t be done on Veteran’s Day. Do you really think that our players, let alone their players are thinking about Veteran’s Day in hyped moments of the game? This is football and not some created documentary of what it SHOULD BE like to play football at the United States Military Academy at West Point on Veterans Day.

Personally, I feel your comments were uncalled for, but that’s just me.

Army Football MAKE SOME NOISE!

Charles Grevious
Reception Day is upon us and Gordon Larson, Joe Iacono, and A.M. Allan of GBK are putting in the work. So, we respectfully ask that you become more than just readers of the GBK words, but make some noise.

This 2023 recruiting class is special, but as you can see, Coach Monken and the staff are not just sitting around .... the 2024 recruiting is already taking form, spring ball was a success (combine that with the solid S&C program and there are tons of things to get excited about.

So as the folks at NIKE might say...

1984 Army Football Team

LastofftheArea78
Since I think The 12th Knight is the best forum on Army Football, thanks to its staff, writers, and readers; I thought we would have a little fun this week to start the build-up to Navy Week and the BKs victory over the Middies.

What are some facts, things, or items about the 1984 Army Football Team that every USMA graduate or West Point fan ought to know about?

(try not to repeat anything, but you may correct something if needed)

I’ll start with the easiest one:

First Army Football Team to go to and win a bowl game.

Bowl Eligibility

LastofftheArea78
Well, 79 FBS teams qualified for 41 bowl games this weekend for 82 slots (winning six or more games).

One team, Navy remains at 5-6 and would be bowl eligible with a potential victory over Army.

Per NCAA guidelines, James Madison and Jacksonville State (transitioning to FBS) get in next. After that, 5-7 teams are eligible per their Academic Progress Rate (APR).

Most sports writers are reporting that Minnesota would be the first 5-7 team in as they have the highest APR of 5-7 teams. Next 5-7 teams in APR order are Mississippi State, South Carolina, and 5-6 Army West Point.

Some writers are claiming that the Army-Navy game does not count for bowl selections. This has been unclear since A-N became the last game of the regular season many years ago.

I think the NCAA may have to come out on this during this week, on whether or not bowl selections consider Navy or not. This might open Army up for a bowl given that the BKs can beat the Middies, and a 6-6 team (5-6 per bowl eligibility) would have a better record than Minnesota.
