Army’s triple-option offense was clicking once again following the
previous week’s 13-6 setback at Duke, as the Black Knights had a
season-high 671 yards of total offense.
The Mean Green have alternated wins and losses over the first six weeks, coming up with a terrific victory over Marshall last week after losing to Middle Tennessee the week before. The offense has been hit-or-miss, and it’s shown in the results going 3-0 when scoring more than 21, and 0-3 when coming up with fewer.
The last year these teams played was in 2010, when Army pitched its first shutout since 2005 in a 24-0 home win. North Texas came into that game with the No. 23 passing offense in the country at 282.5 yards per game but was held to just 106 yards. Meanwhile, seven Army players combined to run for 292 yards.
The Black Knights will get within bowl range with their fifth win of the season, getting the running game going early and forcing the Mean Green to press too much.
