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.
