A chance for total redemption.
With a win over Army this week, the Falcons would bring home undisputed possession of the Commander-in-Chief Trophy for the 21st time in 45 years. It would immediately turn the season around and give a lot of young Falcons who will be playing in their first Army-Air Force game ever a boost of confidence and build the foundation for the rest of the season.
The path to success, however, runs through West Point and an Army team with a record of 6-1 and ranked number 22 in the Coaches Poll. Although Army’s schedule has not been very grueling, they did face off against #6 Cincinnati, and gave the Bearcats their toughest opponent of the season, losing that game 24-10.
