Army put up a very clean 42 points on Saturday, opening the season with a home win against Middle Tennessee State. Army took anything and everything they wanted in the game without much Blue Raider resistance.
It didn't help Middle Tennessee State that they got stung by the injury bug early and often losing their starting center on the 4th play of the game- they replaced him with a freshman and two plays later the Army defense ran over the line, stole the football and pretty much put the game away. With Army playing so well against an outmatched and underprepared Middle Tennessee State team - it really did seem like it was over that early.
