Nov 23 | Army

[ColoradoIrish]

And you're still a fan??

Pfft all those were before I was 20. Don't remember Ty's last game but I still vividly remember everything about the bush push game. I'm still more upset about the spot of the ball from the fumble the play before

Army looks legit.

They play at noon next week on CBS against Air Force. What scout this one out to get a peek at what to expect

Easy, Stalions. Just make sure not to turn us in a Netflix documentary.

If Air Force gives them much of a fight, I’d be a bit surprised.

 

[BleedingGold]

Looking at their schedule and remembering back to the half a game i watched earlier this season, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a 9-3 Army team. I think Navy, ND, and N Texas all end up beating them.

In retrospect, that’s an excellent year.

Yeah, Air Force is unusually bad this year. Their only win is vs an FCS team.
Navy beat them easily

I think they’re better than Navy this year, but I again don’t expect any challenges. They lack the size and depth to compete with elite teams.

 

[NDPhilly]

Army up to #33 in SP+, the highest of any G5 team. This isn’t gonna be Navy.

It's a similar resume to Navy. They are 133 in SOS. They haven't played a soul.

Not saying it'll be easy, but they have a Charmin soft resume at this point.

For a while, I have been complaining I can't go to this game because I could be coaching in the state semis. Just realized I had my weekends wrong. If anyone is trying to unload their tickets, please let me know!

Not selling my tickets to someone who can't read a calendar

Years ago the finals used to be every Thanksgiving weekend. Then it got pushed back. Since then, my brain is a mess

 

[stpeteirish]

Army is a lot like Navy (duh) Very physical. Their DL is bullying people. And those people play for teams way worse than ND.
They aren’t going to fumble 8 times but we’ll handle the business

 

[zelezo vlk]

Is Army’s QB confirmed playing?

 

[RDU Irish]

My office manager's son visited Army last weekend - he is in 8th grade and was pretty stoked about his first recruiting visit. He is a bit of a free spirit so not as enamored with the military aspect but got some swag and sweet access that was fun for him.

The campus is absolutely stunning. Thayer Hall, the plain, and trophy point are some the best spots. Once Michie is done the beer will be back. I’m glad he got to visit.

 

[ND7983]

Seems like the Army QB is still injured and probably isn’t playing against North Texas according to O’Malley.
That sucks. They won’t beat North Texas without him.

 

[NDPhilly]

Currently -16 on DraftKings. Few more than I expected.

[Te'o4Heisman]

Currently -16 on DraftKings. Few more than I expected.

ND should win this game by 21+ if they dont sleepwalk through the first half. The backdoor cover similar to this past week would be my only concern. If we truly are a top 5 team, Army should not hang around.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Army's best win is East Carolina. I also think if they face Tulane in the AAC Championship they'll get rolled.

Again, take care of business and execute the game plan. Don't turn the ball over and if they play within themselves it should be a comfortable victory.

Then worry about having a game in NYC and then a rivalry game one week later all the way out in L.A.

One step at a time.

 

[LifelongFan]

Like Navy, the lateral speed of the linebackers is too much for option teams. Loading the box is easier for Notre Dame than their AAC and FCS opponents with the best secondary in the country. Army only beat North Texas due to red zone turnovers, something I don't think we have done all year. Army is good (Navy isn't), but with Golden, the huge offensive line and elite speed on both sides, option teams aren't going to be successful against us.

 

[Irish#1]

This is basically the Navy game all over. Our lines are going to be too big and strong for Army to hold up the entire game. The Irish D gets to the ball much faster than anything they've experienced.

Two games to go. I don't see MF letting them sleep walk through these games.

Navy is decent—we just broke Horvath. They’ve not been the same since our game as a result. As with most option-based teams, their QB is their juice. There’s just such a drop off between “the guy” and his backup.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Bryson Daily should be back this week. There’s going to be some annoying plays and some wide open receivers as usual against these option teams but they are really not good. Should beat them by 4 TDs. They are well coached and have a good TE.

What was his injury? He ran 36 times their previous game.

They didn’t disclose. He missed AF and wasn’t great against North Texas. They do throw more and mix things up. He’s a tough kid so he should be better with the bye

Navy is 1-3 since our game. And the got shut it last weekend at home. They should have never been ranked. I do believe that Army is a little bit better.
