There is quite a bit of relief at West Point as Army approaches its annual clash with Navy in a series that goes back to the 1890 season.
That's because the Army football team does not go into its 3 p.m. ET game at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia with the great weight of a long losing streak hanging over its head. The game will be televised by CBS.
Army (8-3) ended its 14-game losing streak to Navy (6-5) a year ago with a 21-17 triumph, and it will try to reverse the momentum in the series by turning that victory into a two-game winning streak.
