Let us first start with an apology: Underdog Dynasty (and more specifically, me) got this one entirely, entirely wrong.
The stats just didn’t support this game. Army is a rushing monster and bowled over superior competition this season, and Texas teams traditionally don’t do so hot when traveling to colder climates (witness Houston at UConn last year, or the entire history of the Houston Texans). Army even provided more offense on the day, finishing with a total of 396 yards to UNT’s 320.
The difference, dear reader, was the teams played to their strengths. In our preview, which we shall now light on fire, we noted that Army QB Ahmad Bradshaw was not prone to passing, as the Black Knight offense favored a ground attack, distributing the ball to over a dozen different rushers.
