When it comes to games against fellow military academies in the race for the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy, past achievements are irrelevant to Army coach Jeff Monken. Unbeaten through seven games for the third time since 1950, No. 21 Army attempts to remain perfect Saturday afternoon when it hosts Air Force in West Point, N.Y. The challenge will be tougher without starting quarterback Bryson Daily, whom ESPN reported Saturday morning will be sidelined due to an undisclosed ailment. Army (7-0) is attempting to win its first eight contests since starting the 1996 season with nine straight victories. The Cadets also are on an 11-game winning streak, the longest under Monken and the longest active streak in the FBS.
