Army now has a week to put this game in the rearview mirror, learning along the way, before a meeting with Wake Forest at West Point.
Here is a look back at the three keys:
1) Win the battle offensively on third down - Fail
Army watched as Villanova went 9-of-17 on first down against the Huskies in the FCS team’s near upset bid in week one. Jeff Monken had hoped that the Black Knights would be able to exploit the less than impressive third down defense which the Huskies had thrown out there, but this aspect of the game did not go according to plan in any way.
