WEST POINT, N.Y. — According to Edgar Allen Poe, the wide receiver from Tucson, not the macabre poet, a much brighter aura surrounds the Army football team this season, and not just because the Black Knights are finally winning more games than they lose.
“It’s kind of an obvious shift,” Poe, a junior, said after a practice this week. “You can feel it, see it. We come down here, it feels like we’re actually Division I football players. My first year here, it wasn’t exactly the same way.”
