The Black Knights had one of their best seasons in recent memory with a return to the triple option offense. Army runs their triple option a little different than Navy, using the fullback as the feature back more than the QB, and employing a Tight End. Army won the Heart of Dallas Bowl for their first bowl win since 2010.
There’s no argument, West Point is the hardest admissions standards in the United States. It’s not always easy to “reload” like it is at Clemson, LSU or Alabama. But like Navy, Army has to fit their schemes to the type of players they admit- quick, athletic, and intelligent.
