Army vs Air Force Game Preview

Why Army Will Win

The ground attack is still the Army ground attack.

In the category of game recognizes game, Navy was able to do a decent job of holding down the Air Force offense in the 13-10 Falcon win, and vice versa. Neither team could run well and neither side could take over. The same applies to Army.

Air Force is having the better year and is stronger overall, but the turnover battle should be even, penalties shouldn’t be that much of a difference, and again, the ground game should be fine. After a lull against Wake Forest the Knights ran for well over 400 yards in wins over Colgate and ULM.

It’ll be tight, but Air Force will break the two game losing streak to take the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy.
