Army only possessed the ball six times in its 2020 opener against Middle Tennessee. Yet, the Black Knights scored six touchdowns and handed the Blue Raiders an embarrassing 42-0 defeat in West Point, NY.
The Black Knights’ signature triple option attack was too much for the Middle Tennessee defense to handle, scoring on all possessions of the game except for the victory formation drive. Army controlled the line of scrimmage, routing its C-USA opponent 340-75 in the rushing yard battle.
Fullback Sandon McCoy captained the obliteration with a hat trick of rushing touchdowns, and the Black Knights’ 10 combined ball carriers never struggled to move the chains.
