Army Black Knights O:8 D:8The Army Black Knights started out at 0-6 but then seemed to turn things around and won 3 of 4 games to close out the season. They bettered head coach Bobby Ross's initial season but still have a ways to go. They shut out Akron and beat Air Force for the first time since 1992 and had twice as many wins as a season ago.
They are looking to implement an option attack on offense this year. The entire 2 deep returns on the offensive line, with lots of healthy running backs available. The wide receiving unit is very seasoned but unfortunately it will most likely see a drop in numbers due to the change in offensive strategies.
Bet Army here.
The offense will have a hard time learning the new schemes but it will improve as the year goes along. For the first time in a decade the Army Black Knights have a chance of an appearance on Bowl week.
The defense is the best that Army has had to offer in a very long time. The secondary is very young and will need some time to mesh together. 16 starters are coming back from last year and the Army Black Knights could make something happen in 2006. Defense has improved every year under Head Coach Ross, and this year is no different especially with a solid defensive unit like the one they possess.
