ARMY AND NIKE TEAM UP FOR 2021 ARMY-NAVY UNIFORM TO HONOR THE SOLDIERS OF THE U.S. ARMY SPECIAL FORCES COMMAND

In late-September 2001, elements from the Central Intelligence Agency Special Activities Division, code named “Jawbreaker,” used a CIA-owned Mi-17 helicopter to insert into the Hindu Kush mountains in Afghanistan to establish contact with Northern Alliance commanders.

Air Force Special Operations Command, the special opera-tions component of the U.S. Air Force, provided the unit that became Joint Special Operations Force–North under the command of Air Force Colonel Frank J. Kisner.

The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) is the premier Special Operations rotary wing aviation unit in the United States Army.

TEAM NOTES

DEFENDING THE TOP RANK2020 found the Army Black Knights as the top-ranked defense in the NCAA. Since Monken joined in 2014, the Black Knights’ defense has ranked in the Top 5 twice (2016, 2020) - a feat seen for the first time in 21 years.

COMMANDER-IN-CHIEFArmy’s most recent Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy was earned in 2020, when the Black Knights assured the Trophy’s return to its original home with a shutout against Navy (15-0), before trouncing Air Force 10-7 the following week. Both victories were earned at Michie Stadium, helping the team capture its third Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy in four seasons.

Following a 21-14 win over Air Force in 2021, the Black Knights will retain the Trophy with aim to win the CIC series outright against Navy on Dec. 11.

LAST OF THE HARD2021 will see the first time in six years for the Black Knights to open the season with a Junior as part of the team captainship. It marks as the third time in the Monken era.

The 2021 captains include DL Nolan Cockrill, DB Cedrick Cunningham Jr., LB Arik Smith and S Marquel Broughton.

SEASON’S GREETINGSHead Coach Jeff Monken has led the Black Knights to a season-opening victory four times since 2015. With a 43-10 victory at Georgia State, it marks the first time since 2000 that Army has won the season opener for three-consecutive seasons.

I’m going to Fight until I cannot Fight anymore.

And when I cannot Fight anymore, I’m going to lie down, bleed awhile, get up.

And Fight again.

TEAM NOTES

FIRST QUARTER FRONTWeek 1 saw a Cadets defense hold Georgia State to only 22 yards in the first quarter, accounting for the fewest yards allowed in the first quarter over the past six seasons. The top-ranked 2020 defensive unit held offenses to under 50 total yards of offense three times last season.

OPENING DROUGHTIn the Monken era, the Black Knights have not only held the opposing offense scoreless on the season opening drive in five-consecutive seasons, no team has earned more than 20 yards of total offense in the same time span.

With OLB Andre Carter snaring his second collegiate-career interception in Week 11 against Bucknell, it also marks as the fourth time the Black Knights have created takeaways on the opponent’s opening drive in consecutive weeks since 2015.

2021team notes

FLURRY OF FIRSTSThe 2021 season opener saw a flurry of firsts, including RB Tyson Riley and RB A.J. Howard reaching the endzone for the first time of their collegiate career. It marks as the first time the Black Knights have found the endzone in back-to-back season-opening drives since 2015.

CARTER’S QUARTERSFollowing single-game high 3.0 sacks in Week 1 at Georgia State, OLB Andre Carter levied another 11.5 sacks in the following ten games to sit at the top ranks in the nation for total sacks.

Against UCONN in Week 3, QB Christian Anderson also found the endzone twice on a rush, marking his third-career game to rush for at least two TDs.

MR. CONSECUTIVEAgainst UConn in Week 3, QB Christian Anderson found WR Isaiah Alston for a 39-yard TD throw, Alston’s first career TD reception. Anderson’s explosive throwing streak continued in 2021 as it marked his third-consecutive game to throw a TD strike for 39-yards or more. With a 79-yard TD strike against Air Force in Week 10, five of Anderson’s six career touchdown passes have been for 39-yards or more.

Week 2 saw QB Christian Anderson throwing a 40-yard touchdown strike and rushing for a career-high 119 yards - the second-career game to reach 100-plus rushing yards. The 40-yard air strike matches the season opener attack, where the explosive back-to-back touchdown throws marks as the second time for the Black Knights to launch explosive scoring plays in consecutive weeks (Weeks 1 and 2, 2018).

Jeff Monken heads into his eighth season at the helm of Army West Point football in 2021 after being named the 37th individual head coach in program history on Dec. 24, 2013. Monken shows a 93-58 career record as a head coach and a 57-42 mark at Army. The Black Knights have enjoyed success over the past five seasons with a .674 winning percentage, including four wins over Air Force, four wins over Navy (2016, 2017, 2018, 2020) and three bowl-game victories (2016, 2017, 2018). Monken led the Cadets to yet another impressive season in 2020, posting a 9-3 record including rivalry wins over both Navy and Air Force. Army was led by the nation’s top defensive unit, as the Black Knights ranked first in the FBS in Total Defense, allowing only 275.3 yards per game. The Blak Knights also ranked in the country’s top 5 in scoring defense (2nd - 14.83 ppg), red-zone defense (2nd - .645 scoring pct.) and passing yards allowed (2nd - 160.8 ypg). On the offensive side of the ball, Army displayed one of the most successful and diverse rushing attacks in the country thanks to Monken’s triple-option scheme. The Cadets totaled over 250 rush yards in seven contests, including 441 vs Ablileine Christian (Oct.3) and 439 vs. Lousiana-Monroe (Sep. 12). Those marks were good for the 6th and 7th highest totals in a single game in the FBS during the 2020 season, respectively. Paced by a balanced rushing attack, the Cadets dominated time-of-possession over their opposition in 2020, holding the ball for an average of 34 minutes per game. The 2020 season started strong, as the Black Knights defeated Middle Tennessee State, 42-0, in the season opener, the first Army shutout since blanking Air Force in Colorado Springs, Colo., 21-0, on Nov. 4, 2017. The 42-0 victory was Army’s largest shutout victory over an FBS school since 1963, when it defeated Wake Forest, 47-0. In the 2020 version of America’s Game, Army’s defensive unit held Navy’s rushing attack to just 108 yards, the least amount of rushing yards by the Mids since 2001. The 15-0 shutout of Navy was the first time since Nov. 29, 1969, that Army shut out the Mids.

Ken Niumatalolo enters his 14th season as the head coach at the Naval Academy and his 24th season in Annapolis overall.

Navy has had 10 winning seasons and played in 10 bowl games during Niumatalolo’s time as head coach,making it one of the greatest eras in school history. Niumatalolo has repeatedly guided the Midshipmen to success both on and off the gridiron. Included in his accomplishments are a number of milestones never before achieved by a coach or team in the program’s 140-year history. Niumatalolo (101-67, .601) is the program’s all-time winningest coach and is the only coach in the history of the Army-Navy Game to start his coaching career 8-0 against the other Academy. Niumatalolo’s nine wins against Army are the most in the history of the Army-Navy Game. Niumatalolo led Navy to one of the greatest seasons in school history in 2019, winning a school-record tying 11 games against just two losses, winning the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, sharing the American Athletic Conference West Division title with Memphis and winning the prestigious Liberty Bowl. The Mids’ eight-game improvement from 2018 was the second-biggest turnaround in FBS history.

Navy finished the 2019 campaign ranked 20th in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches Polls. It marked just the second time in the last 56 years Navy finished in the AP Top 20 (18th in 2015).

Jeff Monken heads into his eighth season at the helm of Army West Point football in 2021 after being named the 37th individual head coach in program history on Dec. 24, 2013.

Monken shows a 93-58 career record as a head coach and a 57-42 mark at Army. The Black Knights have enjoyed success over the past five seasons with a .674 winning percentage, including four wins over Air Force, four wins over Navy (2016, 2017, 2018, 2020) and three bowl-game victories (2016, 2017, 2018). Monken led the Cadets to yet another impressive season in 2020, posting a 9-3 record including rivalry wins over both Navy and Air Force. Army was led by the nation’s top defensive unit, as the Black Knights ranked first in the FBS in Total Defense, allowing only 275.3 yards per game. The Blak Knights also ranked in the country’s top 5 in scoring defense (2nd - 14.83 ppg), red-zone defense (2nd - .645 scoring pct.) and passing yards allowed (2nd - 160.8 ypg). On the offensive side of the ball, Army displayed one of the most successful and diverse rushing attacks in the country thanks to Monken’s triple-option scheme. The Cadets totaled over 250 rush yards in seven contests, including 441 vs Ablileine Christian (Oct.3) and 439 vs. Lousiana-Monroe (Sep. 12). Those marks were good for the 6th and 7th highest totals in a single game in the FBS during the 2020 season, respectively. Paced by a balanced rushing attack, the Cadets dominated time-of-possession over their opposition in 2020, holding the ball for an average of 34 minutes per game. The 2020 season started strong, as the Black Knights defeated Middle Tennessee State, 42-0, in the season opener, the first Army shutout since blanking Air Force in Colorado Springs, Colo., 21-0, on Nov. 4, 2017. The 42-0 victory was Army’s largest shutout victory over an FBS school since 1963, when it defeated Wake Forest, 47-0. In the 2020 version of America’s Game, Army’s defensive unit held Navy’s rushing attack to just 108 yards, the least amount of rushing yards by the Mids since 2001. The 15-0 shutout of Navy was the first time since Nov. 29, 1969, that Army shut out the Mids. The 2020 Commander-in-Chief Trophy Champions also climbed into the national rankings throughout the season, twice finding themselves in the AP Top 25 (22nd- Weeks 3-4). The Black Knights’ was just the fourth time since 1970 that Army won at least six games in its first seven tilts. Monken coached a number of players to postseason honors in 2020 including USA Today Second-Team All-American Jon Rhattigan. The 2019 season featured five wins for the Black Knights which was ranked amongst the best in the nation once again. Since the start of the 2016 season, Army is averaging a nation’s best 327.8 yards per game on the ground. The Blacks Knights own the best third down conversion rate dating back to the 2010 season, converting 813-of-1,711 third downs (47.5 percent).

Army averaged 297.2 rushing yards per game (3rd nationally) in 2019 and had 3,863 net rushing yards total (3rd). The Black Knights’ 45 rushing scores were tied for second in the nation, while their 5.2 yards per rush was 17th. The Cadets had three plays go for 80 or more yards (all touchdowns) in 2019, which finished tied for the nation’s lead. Army had 19 rushes of 30 or more yards this season, good for a tie for sixth in the nation. It finished tied for 12th in 40-plus rushes (9), 13th in 10-plus yard rushes (93), and tied for 17th in 20-plus (28). The Black Knights were fifth nationally in passing defense (178.9), tied for 27th in fumble recoveries (10), 27th in first downs allowed (234) and 30th in total defense (342.3). West Point was eighth nationally in fewest penalty yards per game (38.2) and 12th in fewest penalties per game (4.6). Army is now 17-2 in its last 19 games played at Michie Stadium dating back to the 2016 season. This 2019 season marked Army’s fourth consecutive winning season at home. The Cadets’ 3,863 yards on the ground this season is good for sixth in program history. Since taking over as head coach in 2014, Monken and his teams own four of the top six single season rushing marks in program history.

In the VMI win, Army finished with 594 rushing yards, good for third most in program history and the most since Nov. 18, 1989 vs. Colgate. Army’s defense held UMass to 125 total yards, a program record for the fewest allowed to an FBS opponent. UMass was limited to just 19 yards in the second half. The Black Knights held the Minutemen to 26 rushing yards on 26 attempts, the fewest since allowing 10 to Lafayette on Oct. 15, 2016. In 2018 Monken led the Cadets to a historic year as his squad became nationally ranked in early November for the first time in 22 years (1996). They remained in the Top-25 throughout the rest of the season and finished ranked No. 19 in the Associated Press Poll and No. 20 in the Amway Coaches Poll. The year was highlighted by a program-record 11 wins, marking the first time in Academy history the Black Knights registered 10-plus wins in back-to-back seasons. Army also won the Commander In Chief’s trophy in consecutive seasons for the first time in program lore, while also garnering the Lambert Trophy for the

first time in 60 years. The Black Knights became the first three-time winner of the Armed Forces Bowl as well that season after they routed Houston, 70-14, on Dec. 22. The 70 points put up by Army in that contest tied an FBS record for points scored in a bowl game. To cap the 2018 season, the Cadets won 13 games in a row at home and finished their second-straight season going unbeaten at Michie Stadium. They held five consecutive opponents to 14 or less points to end the year as well and finished 11-0 when leading at the half. Army closed the year ranked first nationally in third down conversion percentage (.571), fourth down conversion percentage (.861), and time of possession (38:33), while also sitting second in rushing offense with 312.5 yards per game. Twelve cadet-athletes were named to the Phil Steele’s All-Independent Team, and Monken received national praise after winning the George Munger Collegiate Coach of the Year Award and the Vince Lombardi Award for National College Coach of the Year. He was also named a finalist for the Paul “Bear” Bryant and Eddie Robinson Awards for Coach of the Year. In 2017 Monken led Army to its most successful season in over two decades, earning 10 victories, the Commander in Chief’s Trophy and a victory in the Armed Forces Bowl. The Black Knights won the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision rushing title by averaging 362.3 rushing yards per game and finished with 50 rushing touchdowns, which broke the program record for a single season set a year prior. On the other side of the ball, Army was third in the nation in red zone defense and 14th against the pass. The Black Knights held opponents to 22 points per game and ended Air Force’s 306-game scoring streak with a 21-0 victory at Falcon Stadium. It was the first shutout against a service academy since 1969. The Black Knights were also rewarded for their success as the ECAC Division I FBS Team of the Year. The 2016 season was a memorable one for the Black Knights under Monken. He led them to their first win over Navy since 2001 and a victory in a bowl game. The last time the Black Knights accomplished both feats in the same season was in 1984. Army was second in the nation in rushing offense and ran for a then Academy single-season 46 touchdowns, which eclipsed the 1945 national championship team. Defensively, Army was consistently in the Top-10 in total defense and closed out the year fourth in the nation. In 2015, Monken coached Army to a pair of wins over Bucknell and Eastern Michigan. The Black Knights had five players reach 100 yards rushing in a game that year and had three different quarterbacks throw for 100 yards. Signal callers Ahmad Bradshaw and Chris Carter ran and threw for 100 yards in their career debuts. Army won on the road for the first time since 2010 with a 58-36 win over Eastern Michigan as well. The Black Knights closed the season ranked 12th in the country in rushing offense at 244.3 yards per game. Linebacker Andrew King finished 21st in the nation in tackles for loss with an average of 2.1 per game and 26th in fumbles recovered with two. In his first season at Army, Monken guided the Cadets to home victories over Buffalo, Ball State and Fordham, in addition to a dramatic win against Connecticut at Yankee Stadium. Under his guidance, running back Larry Dixon, linebacker Jeremy Timpf, defensive back Josh Jenkins and offensive lineman Matt Hugenberg earned 11 citations on postseason all-star teams. Two players, Joe Drummond and Dixon, competed in The Medal of Honor Bowl Game and East-West Shrine Game, respectively, as well.

Army was fifth in the country in rushing offense at 296.5 yards per game in Monken’s inaugural season and sixth in fewest penalties per game with just 4.08 infractions per contest. He tutored a host of players who were listed in the national rankings as well. Timpf was seventh in the nation in solo tackles per game and 23rd in tackles per game. Jenkins was eighth in the country in blocked kicks and 33rd in interceptions per game, and both Lamar Johnson-Harris and Xavier Moss ranked 11th in punt return touchdowns. Dixon was nationally ranked in rushing yards per carry (30th), rushing yards (39th) and rushing yards per game (41st). With the Black Knights’ 47-39 win against Buffalo, Monken became the first head coach to win his first game since Bob Sutton did so in 1991 with a victory over Colgate. Prior to that, the last Army coach to win his first game against a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent was Ed Cavanaugh in 1980.

Monken came to the banks of the Hudson River following a successful stint as head coach at Georgia Southern. He spent four seasons as head coach of the Eagles after learning the triple-option offense under one of the nation’s premier option proponents, Paul Johnson, during assistant coaching stints at Navy and Georgia Tech. In his four seasons at Georgia Southern, Monken authored a 38-16 mark and spearheaded the programs transition to the elite Football Bowl Subdivision level from the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) ranks. Georgia Southern, which joined the Sun Belt Conference following Monken’s tenure, was a member of the FCS and qualified for the NCAA playoffs in all three eligible seasons under him. The Eagles advanced to the national semifinals each year, while also posting double-digit victory totals. Monken guided tradition-rich Georgia Southern to some of the biggest wins in school history, with the most memorable arguably being a 26-20 victory at Florida at the vaunted “Swamp.” Despite that headline-grabbing victory, the Eagles were not eligible for the FCS playoffs that season due to their transitional status. Monken and Johnson are the only coaches in Georgia Southern school history to win at least 10 games in each of their first three seasons. A finalist for the 2012 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year award, Monken guided the Eagles to 10 wins his first season, 11 his second and 10 in his third. His 2013 squad posted a 7-4 mark, including the stunning, season-ending upset of Florida in Gainesville. Under Monken’s guidance, Georgia Southern was one of the top rushing teams at the FCS level, claiming the NCAA rushing title in 2012 at 399.36 yards per contest. Walter Payton Award candidate Jerick McKinnon and running back Dominique Swope established the NCAA record for rushing yards by teammates with 3,063. Monken coached a lengthy list of all-stars, including the school’s highest-ever National Football League draft choice, safety J.J. Wilcox, a third-round selection by the Dallas Cowboys in 2013. Georgia Southern was ranked No. 1 in both FCS polls for seven weeks in 2011 and stopped Wofford, 31-10, to win its ninth Southern Conference championship. Five players were named All-America, Brent Russell was selected Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year, Monken earned conference Coach of the Year plaudits and Swope was named Southern Conference Freshman of the Year. Home playoff wins against Old Dominion and Maine were part of the

Eagles’ memorable 11-3 campaign. Monken got off to a great start in his first year a Georgia Southern, knocking off top-ranked and previously unbeaten Appalachian State en route to its a 10-5 season. The Eagles ended the year with three straight wins to qualify for the postseason and registered three playoff victories to advance to the national semifinals. In addition to the success on the field, Monken helped Georgia Southern re-emerge academically with the team’s cumulative grade point average ranking as the highest in school history in each of his first two seasons. Not only were the Eagles successful in the classroom and on the football field under Monken, but the players and staffs were part of several community service programs and local events. Monken was named Georgia Southern’s head coach in November of 2009, continuing a family history of football coaches. Jeff’s father, Mike, and a dozen family members have coached at the high school, collegiate or professional ranks.

Monken’s first head coaching job came after accumulating 20 years of experience as an assistant, 13 of them with his mentor Johnson. Monken coached slotbacks at Georgia Southern from 1997 to 2001 before joining Johnson first at Navy and then Georgia Tech.As an assistant coach at Georgia Southern, Monken was part of two NCAA FCS National Championship squads (1999 and 2000) and five-straight playoff teams. Georgia Southern was among the top-five rushing teams in all five seasons and twice led the nation in rushing. The Eagles ranked in the top-15 in scoring four out of five seasons as well. After serving as an assistant at Georgia Southern, Monken accepted a position on Johnson’s coaching staff at Navy. Monken not only mentored slotbacks, he later added special teams coordinator duties. In Annapolis, Monken helped the Midshipmen to five-straight Commander in Chief trophies and five consecutive bowl game appearances, including a 10-win season in 2004. Following his time at Navy, Monken moved to Georgia Tech where for

two seasons he served as the slotbacks coach and special teams coordinator. The Yellow Jackets posted double-digit wins in 2009 and captured the Atlantic Coast Conference championship, although that title was later vacated. Monken began his coaching career in 1989 as a graduate assistant at Hawai’i and later spent one season at Arizona State. Monken moved to Buffalo as the wide receivers and tight ends coach who also handled recruiting. He served on the staffs at Morton (Ill.) High School as the head coach and at Concordia University in Illinois as the offensive line coach.A native of Joliet, Ill., Monken played wide receiver for four years and earned two varsity letters in track and field, while earning his bachelor’s degree from Millikin University in 1989. He was inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in October 2013 and collected his master’s degree from Hawai’i in 1991. Monken and his wife Beth reside at West Point with their three daughters, Isabelle, Amelia and Evangeline.

Brent Davis is in his eighth season with the Army Black Knights, serving as the offensive coordinator. Davis’ offense propelled the Black Knights to a 9-3 record in 2020 behind the nation’s fourth-ranked rushing offense. Army averaged 273 rushing yards per game a season ago with four Cadets averaging over 40 yards per game on the ground. Four Cadets started under center a year ago, with six Black Knights taking a snap throughout the season for the first time since the 1940’s. Quarterbacks Thyier Tyler and Christian Anderson paced the Army offense with 83 and 60 rush yards per game, respectively. Tyler, Tyrell Robinson and Jakobi Buchannan all found their way onto the Phil Steele All-Independent teams in 2020 after outstanding performances. Running back Shandon McCoy’s 10 rushing touchdowns were also good for 22nd in the country. Davis also oversaw the development of an offensive line that only allowed seven sacks a year ago, which was good for seventh-fewest in the FBS.

In 2019, the Black Knights averaged 297.2 yards per game and rushed for a total of 3863 yards, both of which ranked third nationally. In 2018, the Cadets finished second with 312.5 rushing yards per game. They also ranked first in three different categories to close out the year: third down conversion percentage (.571), fourth down conversion percentage (.861), and time of possession (38:33). Davis coached six players to Phil Steele All-Independent Team honors in 2018, including two linemen in Bryce Holland and Jaxson Deaton. Holland, a team captain, was named to the USA Today All-Bowl Team and an All-ECAC First Team recipient as well. Also garnering recognition in 2018 was the offensive line, that was selected to the Sports Illustrated All-Bowl Team. The o-line blocked for an impressive Army running game that compiled an FBS bowl game record tying 70 points in its victory over Houston on Dec. 22. That same line helped the Army offense rush for over 4,000 yards on the year, which ranked second in the country. Davis also had a hand in the success of Kelvin Hopkins Jr. and Darnell Woolfolk. In 2018, Hopkins Jr. became the first player in Academy history to throw and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season. His five rushing touchdowns in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl tied the Black Knights’ single-game record and his 77-yard TD scamper during that contest was the longest run in Army’s bowl history. Hopkins Jr. closed out his first year as the primary play caller with 17 rushing touchdowns, which tied Carlton Jones and Trent Steelman for a single-season program record. Woolfolk finished his career tied for third in program history with 37 touchdowns after compiling 14 during his final campaign. He rushed for a career-best 956 yards in 2018 and ended his tenure ninth all-time in Academy lore with 2,368 yards. Woolfolk was also selected to play in the 2018 East-West Shrine Game following his impressive senior season. In 2017, Davis was honored as a nominee for the Broyles Award, which is given to the top assistant coach in the country, after leading the Black Knights to an NCAA rushing title with 362.3 yards per game. Army also set a new Academy record scoring 50 rushing touchdowns to finish second in the nation in that category. The Cadets led the country in total rushing yards with 4,710 on the year as well. That year quarterback Ahmad Bradshaw broke the single-season service-academy rushing record with 1,746 yards, which was high enough for fifth in the country at the end of the year. Bradshaw finished sixth in the nation with 134.3 rushing yards per contest. He averaged an impressive 7.21 yards per carry, which was also in the top 10 nationally. Offensive lineman Brett Toth was a participant in the 2017 Reese’s Senior Bowl and the East-West Shrine Game. Toth was also a member of the Associated Press All-Bowl Team, while linemate Holland was awarded with a spot on the ESPN All-Bowl Team. In 2016 the offensive unit ranked second in the nation in rushing offense with 339 rushing yards per game and 5.6 yards per rush. Army ran for over 500 yards twice that season and racked up 4,412 total rushing yards, which was the third most in Academy history for a single season. Under Davis, the Black Knights ran for a then Academy record 46 touchdowns, which eclipsed the 1945 national championship team that had 45 that season. Army was aided that year by fullback Andy Davidson and Bradshaw, who both ran for over 900 yards. Davidson rushed for 12 touchdowns for eighth all-time in a single season and the most since Trent Steelman achieved 12 in 2011. Davis led a Black Knights offense in 2015 that was 12th in the nation with 244.3 rushing yards per game. He guided six players to 100-yard rushing games during the season, including two from Bradshaw and Aaron Kemper. Bradshaw and Chris Carter made their career debuts under Davis and ran and threw for 100 yards in their first game in an Army uniform. The Cadets’ passing attack under Davis saw Edgar Poe record two 100-yard receiving games, including 121 yards on five catches against Navy. Poe had six touchdowns, which was the most by an Army receiver since 2007. Davis also coached Army to 34 total touchdowns in 2015 with 24 coming by way of the ground game. In his first season at Army, Davis guided an offense that was fifth in the country in rushing yards per contest at 296.5. He tutored running back Larry Dixon, who rushed for 1,102 yards as a senior and for more than 3,000 yards throughout his career. Dixon was 39th in the nation in rushing yards during his final campaign and 40th in rushing yards per contest at 91.8. With guidance from Davis, quarterback Angel Santiago ranked 60th in the country with 10 rushing touchdowns as well. As the primary play-caller, Davis led Army to 33 rushing touchdowns and 358.8 yards of total offense per contest that season. Davis also worked with the offensive line, a unit that featured a different starting five on 10 occasions and still had Army among the nation’s rushing leaders. Center Matt Hugenberg was named to two different postseason all-star teams, and Dixon collected honors for three different squads. Prior to Army, Davis spent four seasons as Georgia Southern’s offensive coordinator and offensive line coach in his second stint in Statesboro, Ga. A veteran triple option coordinator, Davis helped the Eagles to three consecutive trips to the national semifinals. Georgia Southern boasted the top rushing offense in two consecutive seasons in 2011 and 2012. Davis also coached at Georgia Southern from 1997-05 when he guided the offensive line and running backs as the Eagles won seven conference championships and made eight playoff appearances during that time. With Davis’ charges blocking up front, Georgia Southern captured four consecutive FCS rushing titles as well as the 2004 scoring title with 47.0 points per contest. Davis later moved to coaching the offensive line before departing for Virginia Military Institute as its offensive coordinator. Davis spent four seasons at VMI, his final season as interim head coach, before returning to Georgia Southern. The Keydets, running the triple option, led the Big South in rushing in all four of Davis’ seasons. VMI established a conference-record 357.5 yards per game average in 2008, while the 2009 squad racked up 276.6 rushing yards per game. Both the 2008 and 2009 teams led the nation in rushing. In 2007, VMI produced four 500-plus yard games and ranked fourth in the country in rushing and 34th in total offense. Davis earned a pair of varsity letters at The Citadel as a tight end before transferring to the University of Georgia. He lettered and earned a spot on the Academic All-SEC Honor Roll before graduating from Georgia in 1997 with a degree in business management. Davis and his wife Jen, a Georgia Southern graduate, reside at West Point.

DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR

Army football head coach Jeff Monken announced the hiring of Nate Woody as defensive coordinator on Jan. 2, 2020.

A 30-year coaching veteran and a coordinator for 19 years, Woody finished his first season at West Point in 2020 after stints as a defensive analyst at Michigan (2019), defensive coordinator and outside linebackers coach at Georgia Tech (2018), defensive coordinator at Appalachian State (2013-17) and defensive coordinator at Wofford (2000-12).

In just one season as the defensive coordinator, Woody helped Army finish as the nation’s top defense, allowing just 275.3 yards per game in 2020. The Cadet’s 9-3 record was powered by Woody’s defensive 3-4 scheme that helped the Black Knights dominate in both the passing and ground game.

Army allowed the second-fewest passing yards in the nation, giving up only 160.8 yards per game. Additionally, Woody’s run-stopping unit finished 18th in the country allowing only 114.6 yards per game on the ground against a schedule full of run-heavy offenses.

The Black Knights also ranked in the country’s top 5 in scoring defense (2nd - 14.83 ppg), red-zone defense (2nd - .645 scoring pct.) and passing yards allowed (2nd - 160.8 ypg).

Woody helped Army bring the Commander-In-Chief Trophy back to West Point in his first season as the DC, after his defense held Navy (W, 15-0) and Air Force (W, 10-7) to a combined seven points.

The 15-0 shutout of Navy was the first time since Nov. 29, 1969, that Army shutout the Mids in America’s Game. Led by Woody and a veteran defensive unit, the Black Knights defense held their opponents to fewer than 10 points six times this season, a feat that had not been accomplished since 1966.

Under Woody’s guidance, six Cadets earned spots on the Phil Steele 2020 All-Independent Team, including Second-Team All-American John Rhattigan.

Woody, who brought his attacking 3-4 scheme to Army which he used to run Georgia Tech’s defense in 2018. He worked under then Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson, who Monken was an assistant coach for with the Yellowjackets (2008-09), at Navy (2002-07) and at Georgia Southern (1997-01).

In 2018, the Yellowjackets’ defense had a nose for the football, as they were tied for fifth nationally in fumble recoveries (13), tied for 16thin total takeaways (25) and tied for 17thin defensive touchdowns (3).

Woody directed Appalachian State’s defense for five seasons. He took over a defense in 2013 that ranked eighth in the nine-team FCS Southern Conference in total defense the season prior to his arrival. Under Woody’s leadership, his unit led the Sun Belt Conference in total defense three times and ranked among the top 30 in NCAA Division I FBS each of his last four campaigns at Appalachian State (2014-17).

Over his final three seasons at Appalachian State, the Mountaineers had average FBS national rankings of 15th in scoring defense, 19th in total defense, 28th in rushing defense and 28th in passing defense. Appalachian also averaged 24 takeaways, 19 interceptions and 35 sacks per season over the last three campaigns.

During that three-year span, the Mountaineers won 30 games, two Sun Belt championships and became the first program to ever win bowl games in each of its first three seasons at the FBS level.

Appalachian State blanked Mid-American Conference champion Toledo, 34-0, at the 2017 Dollar General Bowl. The Mountaineers limited the nation’s eighth-ranked offense to just 146 total yards (364 yards below the Rockets’ season average) and had four takeaways.Prior to Appalachian State, Woody spent the first 22 years of his collegiate coaching career at his alma mater, Wofford (1988-93, 1997-2012), including 13 successful seasons as defensive coordinator (2000-12).

In his 13 seasons leading the Wofford defense, Woody built one of the Southern Conference’s most successful units. Wofford led the SoCon in total defense three times under Woody’s direction, including twice in his last three campaigns with the Terriers (2010 and 2012), and produced nine all-Americans and three SoCon Defensive Players of the Year.

In his final season at Wofford, the defense allowed just 16.6 points, 125 rushing yards and 305.9 total yards per game, good for tops in the SoCon in all three categories. The Terriers ranked among the top 10 in the FCS in total defense twice in his last three seasons — seventh in 2010 and ninth in 2012 — and also led FCS (then known as Division I-AA) in takeaways with 41 in 2003.

Woody was a four-year starter at Wofford from 1980-83, playing two years at defensive back and two at outside linebacker. He was an honorable-mention all-American, a two-time all-district honoree and served as the Terriers’ team captain in 1983. He graduated from Wofford with a B.A. in business economics in 1984.

Born in Burlington, N.C., Woody spent part of his childhood attending high school at T.L. Hanna H.S. in Anderson, S.C. At Hanna,. He was a four-sport standout (football, basketball, baseball and soccer) and played in the 1979 Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas. He and his wife, Rebecca, have two sons, Nicolas and Jacob.

ASSISTANT COACHES

John Loose is in his second stint with the Army West Point football program and 16th season overall on the Banks of the Hudson. He was elevated to assistant head coach/linebackers coach after spending the 2019 season as the team’s defensive coordinator. Loose helped coach up a defensive unit that finished first overall in total defense in 2020, allowing only 275.3 yards per game. The Black Knights also ranked in the country’s top 5 in scoring defense (2nd - 14.83 ppg), red-zone defense (2nd - .645 scoring pct.) and passing yards allowed (2nd - 160.8 ypg). With his help, Army secured the Commander-in-Chief Trophy in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2012-13. Army’s defense was dominant in the rivalry games against Navy and Air Force, holding the Falcons to only seven points and shutting out the mids for the first time since 1969. He served as the interim DC during Army’s 2018 Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl victory over Houston, in which the Black Knights held the Cougars to just 14 points while registering a program record 10 sacks. Loose is no stranger to the defensive coordinator position having been in that role at Lafayette College for 14 seasons, from 2000-13, and at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy for three years from 1989-91. Since making his second stop at the Banks of the Hudson in 2014, Loose has been at the forefront of the Black Knights’ safeties. The last two seasons he helped guide a secondary that ranked 21st and 14th in the nation against the pass. In 2018, Loose mentored junior Jaylon McClinton and senior James Gibson to the fourth and fifth most tackles on the team, respectively. McClinton accumulated 54 tackles, including 37 solo shots. The Charlotte, N.C., native added four tackles for a loss of 17 yards, one sack for a loss of nine yards, and two interceptions for 11 yards. He also registered six pass breakups and two forced fumbles. Gibson did much of the same this past season, earning 41 total tackles with 25 of those being unassisted. The Centreville, Va., native tallied four tackles for a loss of 21 yards and two sacks for a loss of 11 yards. Gibson posted two pass breakups and one forced fumble as well. The Black Knights were also eighth nationally in total defense allowing just 295.5 yards per game, while their third down conversion percentage defense was fourth in the country at 26 percent. In 2017, Gibson was teamed up with then senior Rhyan England in the backfield. Gibson was instrumental in Army’s success with 45 total stops, including a game-saving one against Eastern Michigan on a two-point conversion that sealed the Black Knights’ victory over the Eagles. England missed a few games due to injury that year but had 33 tackles and one fumble recovery. Max Regan, who saw significant time with England injured, made 33 stops along with a team-leading two interceptions and a fumble recovery. He returned one of the interceptions for a touchdown in the 49-12 victory over Rice. During the 2016 season, Loose tutored senior Xavier Moss and England to 57 and 53 tackles, respectively. The pair also had two interceptions on the year. Moss led the team with five pass breakups and had an interception and a forced fumble in the win over Navy. Loose was a key leader on the defensive staff that year as he helped guide Army to fourth in the nation in total defense and sixth against the pass. Army improved from six interceptions in 2015 to 17 in 2016. In 2015, Loose mentored Moss in his transition to the secondary after spending two seasons on the offensive side of the ball. Moss was third on the team with 67 tackles along with one interception and five pass breakups. England had 64 tackles in 2015 under Loose with three tackles for loss, four pass breakups and a fumble recovery. During the 2014 season, Loose coaches a young safeties group. Hayden Pierce, the lone senior starter, registered 45 tackles, despite missing a game. Pierce broke up three passes. Junior Luke Proulx made 28 tackles in eight games and classmate Michael McFadden competed in nine contests. Under Loose’s guidance, Lafayette consistently was among the top-25 defenses in the Football Championship Subdivision. In the 2013 season, Lafayette topped rival and 15th ranked Lehigh 50-28 and advanced to the national playoffs. During that season he also led his Lafayette defense to an upset of then unbeaten and No. 5-ranked Fordham, 27-14. In 2012, Lafayette featured four All-Patriot League selections, while the 2010 squad boasted three all-league choices. The American Football Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year in 2008, Loose and his wife, Marianne, started Lauren’s First and Goal Foundation. The organization was founded in 2004 and raises money for pediatric brain tumor research. The Foundation has generated more than $2 million and blossomed into the largest one-day football clinic in the country. Among the many all-stars Loose has coached is Andy Romans, a two-time Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year who helped the Leopards finish the 2008 season eighth in the nation in scoring defense (17.6 points per game), 10th in rushing defense (just 92.2 yards per game) and 20th in total defense at 303.2 yards per contest. Lafayette boasted the top defense in the nation in 2007. Under Loose’s leadership, Lafayette allowed an NCAA-best 260.9 yards per game and ranked fourth in rushing defense at 85.7 yards per game. The Leopards led the Patriot League in rushing defense in 2006 at 139 yards per contest, while the 2005 team ranked in the top 20 in five categories. Linebacker Maurice Bennett helped pace the defense prior to his graduation in 2006, was a finalist for the Buchanan Award and was chosen as an All-American by five organizations. Blake Costanzo played linebacker the same season and completed eight years in the NFL. Before Lafayette, Loose coached at Army for eight seasons under Bob Sutton. In 1996, Army ranked sixth nationally in rushing defense during a 10-2 campaign that included an appearance in the Independence Bowl. Prior to his time at Army, Loose worked as defensive coordinator and secondary coach at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Loose started his coaching career at the University of Albany in 1987 where he coached the secondary and earned his Masters in Program Development and Evaluation. Loose was a track and field star at Ithaca College where he was an All-American in 1986 and a five-time NCAA qualifier in the high jump. At one time he held the school record at 6-feet, 10¼ inches for outdoors and 6-feet, 10 inches for indoors, both of which were marks that stood for more than 30 years. He earned four letters in indoor and outdoor track and field prior to his graduation in 1987. He earned a degree in physical education with a minor in Psychology. Loose and his wife, Marianne, have two daughters, Lauren and Grace, and reside at West Point.

ASSISTANT COACHES

Sean Saturnio enters his eighth season in 2020 as a member of the Army West Point football coaching staff and returns for his fourth season as the special teams coordinator. He heads back as the leader of the special teams unit after two seasons (2018-19) as Army’s tight ends coach. In his first season back with the special teams, Saturnio mentored one of the best units in the nation. Under Saturnio’s guidance, Army led the nation in both blocked kicks and blocked punts with seven and three, respectively. Saturnio’s special teams unit was a key piece of the Army defensive effort, as opponents were continually pinned deep in their own territory by Second-Team All-Independent Punter Zach Harding and the exceptional Army punt coverage team. Long snapper Kyle O’Connor also earned a spot on an All-Independent team, landing on the first team for his efforts in the 2020 campaign. Army’s special teamers also played a crucial role in helping Army capture the 2020 Commander-In-Chief Trophy with near perfect performances against both Navy and Air Force. Saturnio played an integral role in his two years coaching the tight ends, as the unit assisted the offensive line in having one of the best rushing attacks in the country each year. Since the start of the 2016 season, Army is averaging a nation’s best 327.8 yards per game on the ground. During the 2019 season, Army averaged 297.2 rushing yards per game (3rd nationally), while its 45 rushing scores were tied for second in the nation. In 2018, Saturnio helped Army capture Commander in Chief’s Trophy titles for the second-straight year and earn a bowl victory for the third year in a row following a 70-14 win over Houston. The Black Knights also finished the year with nine consecutive victories, went undefeated at home for the second year in a row and finished the year ranked 19th in the nation. Saturnio tutored tight ends Quinten Parker and Zach Saum to become an integral part of the offensive line that helped Army rank second in the nation in rushing yards per game at 312.5 during the 2018 campaign. The group was instrumental in leading Army to the best third and fourth down conversion rate in college football. The Black Knights were also third in the nation with 47 rushing touchdowns. In 2017, with help from Saturnio, the Black Knights brought home the Commander in Chief’s Trophy for the first time since 1996 and won 10 games for only the second time in academy history. As special teams coordinator, he mentored punter Nick Schrage into a weapon for field position in 2017 as he was named a nominee for the Ray Guy Award as the nation’s top punter. Schrage improved his average by over seven yards per kick and had six boots over 50 yards after just one in 2016. That year the Black Knights’ Special Teams unit finished with their highest STE (Special Teams Efficiency) rating since 2010 according to the college and pro statistical analysis site Football Outsiders. The unit was tied for eighth nationally in block punts in 2016 and tied for ninth in 2017. Football Outsiders also ranked the jump from the 2016 to the 2017 season as the greatest one season improvement in the last decade of Army football. In 2016, Saturnio took over the special teams for the first time at West Point. He mentored Blake Wilson, Schrage and J.D. Mote in the kicking game in their first full season. Rookie Malik McGue averaged eight yards per punt return and had a season-long 58-yard return at Wake Forest. Saturnio spent his first two seasons coaching the fullbacks. In 2015, he mentored Aaron Kemper into Army’s top rusher with 544 yards on the ground and three touchdowns. Kemper had a pair of 100-yard rushing games, including 140 yards against Eastern Michigan. Under Saturnio, Matt Giachinta gained 286 yards and scored a touchdown as a senior. He was named to the National Football Foundation Hampshire Society and was a finalist for the Pop Warner Award. In his first season at Army, Saturnio helped mentor 1,000-yard rusher Larry Dixon who topped the 3,000-yard mark for his career. Dixon was named to three postseason all-star teams and competed in the East-West Shrine Game. Saturnio also coached Giachinta, Kemper and Richie Smith, all key parts of a rushing attack that was third in the country at 296.5 yards per game. He also oversaw the punters and helped Alex Tardieu average 39.3 yards on 44 punts. Tardieu pinned the opponent inside the 20-yard line on 18 occasions and totaled six kicks of 50 yards or more. Saturnio came to West Point following two seasons at Georgia Southern, where he coached the tight ends and assisted Brent Davis with the offensive line. In addition, he coached the punters and coordinated the punt return team. Saturnio also had responsibility as the Director of Player Development in 2011 before assuming coaching responsibilities. In 2012, Saturnio helped wide receiver/tight end Tyler Sumner collect honors on Phil Steels’s 2012 All-Southern Conference squad. A native of Hilo, Hawai’i, Saturnio spent 12 seasons as the head coach at Waipahu High School, culminating with a semifinal appearance in the Oahu Interscholastic Association (OIA) White Conference playoffs in 2011. Saturnio was an assistant for two seasons before taking over as head coach at Waipahu where his team qualified for the playoffs in six of 10 seasons at the helm. He was named the OIA Division I Coach of the Year for the Western Division in 2008 and OIA Division II Coach of the Year in 2004. Saturnio began his collegiate playing career at Division III Beloit College in Wisconsin before transferring to the University of Hawai’i. He was a walk-on for the Warriors and earned a spot on the team as a wide receiver. He earned his degree in elementary education in 1992. Saturnio and his wife, Sharon, were married in 2014. They have four children, Caitlin, Christina, Zachary, and Isaiah, and two grandchildren, Maya and Ezekiel.

THE WOOD FILE

Shiel Wood joined the Army staff in 2020 to help Defensive Coordinator Nate Woody on the defensive side of the ball. In his role with the defense, Wood helps coach the safeties while serving as the Co-Defensive Coordinator. Wood transitioned into coaching the defensive backfield after serving as the inside linebackers coach for the 2020 season. In his first year with the team, Wood helped lead Army to a 9-3 record and finish as the top defense in the country, allowing only 275 total yards per game. Additionally, the linebackers chipped in with the run-stopping unit that finished 18th in the country, allowing only 114.6 yards per game on the ground against a schedule full of run-heavy offenses. The Black Knights also ranked in the country’s top 5 in scoring defense (2nd - 14.83 ppg), red-zone defense (2nd - .645 scoring pct.) and passing yards allowed (2nd - 160.8 ypg). Under Wood’s guidance Army boasted one of the best interior linebacking groups in the nation, led by Second-Team All-American Jon Rhattigan and All-Independent First-Teamer, Arik Smith. Wood, a former assistant coach at Georgia Tech and defensive coordinator at Wofford, most recently was Georgia State’s inside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator during the 2019 season. During the 2019 season, Georgia State matched its school-record for victories. With a five-game increase in wins over last season, Georgia State was one the most improved teams in the FBS. Only Navy and Central Michigan improved more. In 2018, Wood coached Georgia Tech’s safeties and assisted with special teams, helping the Yellow Jackets to a bowl berth.

As Wofford’s defensive coordinator in 2017, Wood directed a unit that led the Southern Conference in rushing defense (121.7 ypg), while ranking second in the league and No. 26 in the FCS in total defense, allowing just 326.7 yards-per-game. The defensive effort helped lead Wofford to a 10-3 overall record, the outright SoCon championship (7-1 in league play) and an FCS quarterfinal appearance, where the Terriers fell to eventual national champion North Dakota State.

Wood spent a total of eight seasons as an assistant coach at Wofford, coaching the Terriers’ wide receivers (2007-10) and safeties (2011-12, 2016-17) and serving as recruiting coordinator (2016-17) in addition to his one season as defensive coordinator.

In his first two years on the defensive side of the ball (2011-12), the Terriers ranked 17th and ninth in the nation in total defense, respectively. As the Terriers’ wide receivers coach (2007- 10), he coached two student-athletes who went on to play in the National Football League, including Carolina Panthers wideout Brenton Bersin. In all, Wofford won four SoCon titles and advanced to the FCS playoffs seven times in Wood’s eight seasons on the Terriers’ staff. Wood started coaching in 2006 at Woodruff (S.C.) High School, where he helped lead the Wolverines to a 9-3 record, regional championship and state playoff berth. Wood, from Spartanburg, S.C., played wide receiver at Wofford from 2001-05 and was the leading receiver on the Terriers’ 2003 squad that won the SoCon championship and advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA semifinals.

Braswell, a former high school head coach in Georgia and Tennessee, came to West Point after spending the 2020 season at Appalachian State as an assistant coach and the 2019 season as a quality control coach at Louisville.

As the outside linebackers assistant coach at Appalachian State in 2020, Braswell helped lead a defensive unit that ranked 18th nationally in total defense as the Mountaineers went 9-3 and won the Myrtle Beach Bowl with a 56-28 victory over North Texas.

The App State defense ranked in the top three in multiple Sun Belt defensive categories, including second in pass defense and second in total defense.

Braswell was also a key national recruiter for the Mountaineers. Following the season, Braswell was selected to the AFCA 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute - a prestigious program aimed at identifying and developing premier and future leaders in the coaching profession.

During his one season at Louisville in 2019, Braswell was a defensive quality control coach, working with the inside linebackers position group.

Braswell helped the Cardinals to one of the biggest turnarounds in college football that season as they went from 2-10 in 2018 to 8-5 in 2019 with a win over Mississippi State in the Music City Bowl.

As the head coach at Ridgeland High School in his hometown of Rossville, Ga., in 2018, Braswell led the Panthers to an 8-4 overall record, a Region 6-AAAA runner-up finish and a 34-14 state playoff victory over Flowery Branch before a second-round loss at Cartersville, the eventual state runner-up.

Ridgeland also scored a big regular season road win at Sandy Creek. Braswell was the head coach at Chattanooga Central High School in 2016 and 2017 and led the Purple Pounders to the TSSAA state playoffs twice.

He also served on the Tennessee Football Coaches Association Board of Directors, representing the interests of football coaches statewide and serving as a contributing voice with the TSSAA legislation.

He began his coaching career in 2009 as he coached defensive backs at Ringgold. He went on to be defensive coordinator at Soddy-Daisy, East Ridge, North Murray, Chattanooga Central and Bradley Central and was the 2014 District Assistant Coach of the Year during his first stint with the Purple Pounders. As the offensive coordinator at Chattanooga Notre Dame in 2012, Braswell’s offense was one of the best in the state, where the Irish averaged more than 34 points a game. A two-time all-state running back at Baylor School in Chattanooga and a Mr. Football finalist for the Red Raiders as a senior in 2004, Braswell graduated from his high school as its single-game and career rushing and scoring leader and later played college football at Liberty University.

Daryl Dixon returns to the Army West Point football staff for his fifth season on the sidelines and coaches the cornerbacks. In the 2020 season, Dixon helped build the nation’s top defensive unit. Under his guidance, the Black Knights secondary allowed the second-fewest passing yards in the nation, giving up only 160.8 ypg. Dixon’s defensive backfield was a force to be reckoned with throughout the season, especially in the team’s rivalry matchups with Air Force and Navy. In those two contests, the Black Knights held the offenses to a com-bined 118 passing yards while allowing just seven total points. The defensive effort powered Army to its third Commander in Chief Trophy in the past four seasons. Defensive backs Cedrick Cunningham and Julian McDuffie both earned spots on the Phil Steele All-Independent First-team in 2020 while being mentored by Dixon. In 2018, with help from Dixon, Army captured back-to-back Commander in Chief’s Trophy titles for the first time in school history and earned three-straight bowl victories, which is a program record. The Black Knights also finished the year with nine consecutive victories, went undefeated at home for the second year in a row and finished the year ranked 19th in the nation. Dixon tutored Campbell Trophy Finalist Kenneth Brinson and Chandler Ramirez in 2018. Ramirez was a new-comer to a starting role and made 31 tackles and had two fumble recoveries. Brinson was the steady force once again with 29 tackles, 6.5 for a loss and had 5.5 sacks, which was second on the team. He also added two forced fumbles and a recovery. He sealed the win against Navy with a strip sack and recover in the fourth quarter. He helped guide the 2017 Black Knights to their first 10-win season since 1996 and they won 10 games for only the second time in academy history. They captured the CIC Trophy for the first time since 1996 and won the Armed Forces Bowl with a victory over San Diego State. In 2017, Aukerman finished with 70 tackles for third on the team and had the most tackles for loss and sacks on the team with 15.5 and 7.5, respectively. He combined with Brinson to recovery three fumbles and record two forced fumbles. Aukerman also had a key interception in the Armed Forces Bowl, which allowed Army to complete its comeback over San Diego State. Dixon tutored outside linebackers Alex Aukerman and Kenneth Brinson in 2016 to 59 and 45 tackles, respec-tively. Aukerman led the team in sacks with 7.5 and tackles for loss with 15, while Brinson was vital in passing situations with two interceptions. Dixon was part of a defensive staff that guided Army to fourth in the nation in total defense, sixth against the pass and 16th versus the run. Dixon came to West Point after seven seasons at Ball State as an assistant coach, where he tutored outside linebackers, cornerbacks and safeties throughout his stint with the Cardinals. He was on the Ball State staff for a pair of bowl games, including the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl St. Petersburg after the 2012 season and the GoDaddy Bowl after the 2013 campaign. During his time at Ball State, Dixon tutored Eric Patterson to All-Mid-American Conference Third Team honors in 2012 and Jamill Smith to third team honors as a punt return specialist in 2012 as well. In addition, Dixon coached Sean Baker, who finished his career at Ball State as the program’s leader in interceptions with 18. He also tutored 2010 second team All-MAC defensive back Jason Pinkston. He was named ESPN MAC Recruiter of the Year in 2012 and ranked as the No. 2 MAC recruiter by 24/7 Sports in 2012. Prior to the Cardinals, Dixon spent the 2008 season as a graduate assistant with the defensive line at Illinois. He started his coaching career as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Illinois from Feb. 2006 through Jan. 2008. Dixon is a 2003 graduate of the University of Florida, where he starred as a defensive back. He played 49 games with 25 starts for the Gators and was a team captain as a senior. He was named to the 2003 All-Southeastern Conference Second Team and reached four bowl games with Florida. Off the field, he was a two-time Academic All-SEC selection and was voted Florida’s Male Outstanding Senior Leader among the entire student body for the fall of 2003 graduating class. Following graduation, Dixon spent two seasons (2004 and 2005) as a member of the Indianapolis Colts.

THE DRINKALL FILE

Matt Drinkall is in his third season on the Army West Point coaching staff, currently coaching Tight Ends for the Black Knights.

In 2020, Drinkall’s position group helped anchor an offensive effort to lead Army to a 9-3 record and capture the Commander-in-Chief Trophy for the third time in four seasons. In 2019, Drinkall joined the Black Knight coaching staff as Offensive Quality Control, working with the quarterbacks.

Drinkall came to the Banks of the Hudson after a very successful five-year stint as the Head Coach at Kansas Wesleyan University, while also serving as the team’s Offensive Coordinator.

Over the last four seasons of his tenure, Kansas Wesleyan won 40 games and marked the best four-year run in school history. Drinkall departed the program as the 2018 Coach of The Year, while holding the fourth-highest win total for the University. In that same four-season span, his team produced two Conference MVPs, two Offensive Players of The Year, and a Defensive Player of the Year. That four-season stretch produced 11 All-Americans and 64 All-conference selections. In his final season as Head Coach, the 2018 Coyotes posted the best season in school and conference history. Kansas Wesleyan won its first Conference Championship since 2002, after posting a 10-0 overall record to advance to the semifinals of the national playoffs. The Coyotes posted a program-best 13-1 record, shattering school, KCAC and NAIA records in the process during their historic season.

Running a no-huddle, Power-Spread system, Drinkall’s offense set conference and school records for points per game (54.3) and yards per game (530.8) during the regular season. The 2018 offense produced a quarterback accounting for 3,739 yards and 47 touchdowns, while simultaneously producing a running back that accounted for 2,788 yards and 41 total touchdowns. Averaging over seven yards per play, the 2018 offense additionally set conference and school records for total points, total yards, points in a game (83), points in a half (69), points in a quarter (49). All three records were set in separate games.

In 2018, the Coyotes swept the major conference awards, with RB Demarco Prewitt selected as the Conference MVP, QB Johnny Feauto was selected as the Offensive Player of the Year and DL Shaq Bradford selected as the Defensive Player of the Year. The team finished with the highest ranking in school history, coming in at No. 4 in the final polls.

In previous three seasons (2015-17), the Coyotes continued their renewed success under Drinkall recording 27 total wins and a 23-5 record in conference play. During that stretch, KWU reached the No. 10 spot in the Top 25 Poll, matching the highest-ever ranking for the Coyotes. The Coyotes enjoyed their best season in school history at that time in 2015 after tallying a program record 10-wins and earning a berth in the NAIA Football Championship Series for the first time since 2002. During the 2015 campaign, Kansas Wesleyan ranked fifth nationally in total offense and pass offense-per-game and was seventh in the country in total scoring. QB Jake Curran, the KCAC Player of the Year, ranked third in the NAIA in total offense and fourth in the country in total offense.

Drinkall was hired as the Head Coach at Kansas Wesleyan in 2014 and tasked to rebuild all aspects of the program, including roster, facilities, and branding. Drinkall, who was the second-youngest head coach in college football at the time of his hiring, posted a 2-9 regular season record in his first season in 2014. However, the Coyote quickly rebounded to go 10-1 in just his second season leading the team. Prior to joining Kansas Wesleyan, Drinkall served as Offensive Coordinator at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa for five seasons. While at St. Ambrose, Drinkall directed the Fighting Bees’ offense that ranked No. 4 in the nation in scoring offense (44.2 points per game), total offense (505.9 yards per game), passing offense (326.3 yards per game) in 2013. Under his leadership, QB Eric Williamson was named the two-time Conference Player of the Year and set several school records in the process. Drinkall was named the Conference Assistant Coach of the Year in 2012 in a conference that had produced National Champions in the three seasons prior. Before St. Ambrose, Drinkall spent two seasons at Western Illinois as the Tight Ends Coach, under Don Patterson. In his time with the Leathernecks, Drinkall developed the program into one of the top rushing offenses in the country. Drinkall began his coaching career at Bettendorf (Iowa) High School. He coached defensive backs and wide receivers at his alma mater, including former Indianapolis Colts Linebacker Pat Angerer. The 2004 Bettendorf Bulldogs went undefeated (13-0) winning the State Championship. Drinkall also served as a student-coach at the University of Iowa following a career-ending injury as a WR for the Hawkeyes.

Gaither returned to West Point in 2020, after spending the 2019 season on the Western Michigan coaching staff as the wide receivers coach. Gaither resumed his role with the receivers in 2020 and will return to coach the position in 2021. Gaither helped an Army offense that led the team to a 9-3 record and its third Commander in Chief Trophy in the past four seasons. Gaither’s group was a lucrative part of the Army offensive scheme that finished fourth in the nation in rushing offense and sixth in time of possession, holding the ball for an average of 34 minutes per game. Prior to Western Michigan, Gaither was the pass game coordinator and wide receivers coach at East Carolina (2017-18), where he was responsible for the instruction and teaching of all aspects of the wide receiver posi-tion in a multiple pro style offense. In each of his two seasons, the Pirates produced a first-team all-conference wide receiver in Trevon Brown. During his first stint at Army, Gaither directed the Black Knights’ receiving corps in 2015 and 2016. His pass catchers stood fourth nationally in yards-per-reception with a 17.9 average in 2016 during Army’s successful 8-5 campaign, which included a 21-17 win over Navy and a 38-31 overtime victory against North Texas in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl. In his first year at West Point, Gaither coached Edgar Poe and DeAndre Bell to notable performances. Poe produced a trio of 100-yard receiving games and caught six touchdown passes, which was the most by a Black Knight since 2007, while Bell turned in career highs in receptions and yards as a senior. Prior to Army, Gaither was wide receivers coach at Ball State from 2011 to 2014 and helped guide the Cardinals to back-to-back bowl appearances in 2012 (Beef ‘O’ Brady’s) and 2013 (GoDaddy.com). While in Muncie, Gaither was responsible for a combined three All-Mid-American Conference first-team selec-tions in 2012 and 2013, along with second-team and third-team All-MAC picks in 2014. One of his top pupils was current Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead, who set BSU single-season receiving records in yard-age (1,516), catches (106) and touchdowns (15) in 2013. Gaither also impacted his players off the field as Briggs Orsbon earned Capital One Academic All-America hon-ors in 2011, while Connor Ryan was a Capital One Academic All-District choice a year later. Orsbon completed his career as only the second receiver in Ball State history to record over 200 career catches. Before coming to Ball State, Gaither had a two-year stint at his alma mater, Elon, in 2009 and 2010. He helped Terrell Hudgins establish 19 NCAA, Southern Conference and Phoenix records and to a runner-up finish in the voting for the 2009 Walter Payton Award, which formally recognizes the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Player-of-the-Year. Additionally, Gaither mentored All-American pass catcher and Baltimore Ravens draft pick Aaron Mellette while at Elon. Gaither began his coaching career in 1997 as defensive backs coach at Greensboro (N.C.) College before moving to Tusculum (Tenn.) College for the 1998 and 1999 campaigns. Following a five-year run as an assistant at alma mater Thomasville (N.C.) High School, Gaither returned to the college ranks as Winston-Salem State’s recruiting coordinator and defensive backs coach from 2005 to 2008. A four-year starter and two-time all-region performer as a member of the Phoenix secondary, Gaither earned his bachelor’s degree in sociology from Elon in 1997. Gaither and his wife Holly have four children: Jonesha, Akeem, Madison and Hazel.

Saga Tuitele rejoined the Black Knights’ coaching staff in 2020 as the offensive line coach. Tuitele was previously on the Army staff for the 2007 and 2008, beginning his coaching career with the Black Knights as an assistant offensive line coach. In his first season back on the Hudson, Tuitele helped coach an offensive line group that protected the nation’s fourth best rushing attack, averaging 275.3 yards per game on the ground. The offensive line also played an integral role in helping Army post a 9-3 record and capture the Commander in Chief Trophy for the third time in four seasons. Army also ranked sixth in the nation in sacks allowed (9) and time of possession (34:08 minutes per game) thanks in part to the strong blocking from Tuitele’s group up front. Tuitele also mentored lineman Peyton Reeder and J.B. Hunter, who earned spots on the Phil Steele All-Independent First Team for their strong performances in 2020. Tuitele came from The University of New Mexico, having served as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator. He previously was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo where he led the Mustang offense to the top of the NCAA FCS charts in terms of points and yards. During the 2019 campaign, his line was a strength of the Lobo squad. The line was the last in the FBS to allow a sack, and tackle Javon Mosely was selected for the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in Pasadena. A pair of Lobos in Kyle Stapley and Teton Saltes were honorable mention All-Mountain West, and Saltes was a semifinalist for the Wuerffel Trophy. In 2018, the Lobo offense underwent a change from a true triple option attack, and despite the changes, UNM had a first team Mountain West offensive lineman in Aaron Jenkins. Overall, UNM’s offensive line was tasked with pass blocking 365 times, and allowed just 15 sacks in its first year in a passing offense. Tuitele also was able to get a terrific season from Stapley at center, despite not playing the position before. Stapley was 802 of 806 on shotgun snaps with no penalties. In 2017, despite injuries that decimated the offensive line and three different players starting at quarterback, the Lobos still managed to rush for 2,825 yards and 21 touchdowns. Offensive lineman Aaron Jenkins anchored the front five and earned plenty of preseason accolades for the 2018 season. In Tuitele’s first season with New Mexico, the Lobos led the nation in rushing yards, rushing yards per game and rushing yards per carry, as well as rushes of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 yards. The Lobos also had two 1,000-yard rushers for the first time in school history in Teriyon Gipson and Tyrone Owens. Gipson led the nation in rushing yards per carry as well. UNM did all of that with an offensive line that saw three new starters. Additionally, the unit allowed just 12 sacks on the season. Tuitele is a veteran of option offenses, having spent time at both Cal Poly and at Army coaching the offensive line. For those seven seasons at Cal Poly, Tuitele served as the offensive line coach.

He was the co-offensive coordinator from 2009-2012, and the co- was removed from his title for the 2013 through 2015 seasons. Under Tuitele, Cal Poly led the FCS in rushing yardage from 2013-15, including averaging 387.3 yards per game in 2015. The Mustangs finished fourth in rushing in 2010, sixth in 2011 and third in 2012. Prior to Cal Poly, he served as the offensive line coach at Army under offensive coordinator Tim Walsh, whom he also coached with and played under at Portland State.

Tuitele coached the defensive line at Portland State, helping the Vikings lead the Big Sky in total defense, rushing defense and scoring defense in 2004. Tuitele was a two-time All-Big Sky performer at Portland State, earning honorable mention All-America honors as a senior offensive guard after starting his career as a defensive tackle, where he played for two seasons. Tuitele earned a bachelor’s degree in social science from Portland State in 2002. An All-CIF Southern Section and All-State defensive lineman at Pacific High School in San Bernardino in the mid-1990s. Tuitele and his wife, Rachel, have four children, To’omalatai, Tifaimoana, Saga III and Teuila.

THE VITI FILE

Former Black Knight fullback Mike Viti, a 2008 West Point graduate, is currently in his seventh season serving as an assistant coach with the Army Black Knights.

With 2020 finding the Black Knights securing their second Commander-in-Chief Trophy in three seasons with a 9-3 overall record, the season success hinged on a NCAA Top-5 Army rushing attack. Averaging 273 yards per game on the ground, Viti’s position group saw RB JaKobi Buchanan rush for a team-most 111 rushes for 474 yards amongst all running backs. Ranked No.2 in the nation for most-rushing touchdowns, the team’s 36 total rushing touchdowns were only one shy of matching Alabama for the top ranking for total rushing touchdowns (37). The Black Knights rushing attack finished second-best in the country totaling 3,276 yards on the ground.

Selected as the AFCA Assistant Coach of the Year, 2019 saw Viti help develop a No.3 ranked rushing attack in the nation, with the Black Knight averaging 297 yards per game on the ground. Army’s 45 total rushing touchdowns matched with the Clemson Tigers to account for the second-most in the NCAA. RB Connor Slomka and RB Sandon McCoy combined for 283 rushes for Army rushing attack that posted 3,875 yards on a schedule with Power Five opponents including the Michigan Wolverines.

2019 also saw Viti selected as the eighth recipient of the Armed Forces Merit Award, presented by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). The Merit Award is presented annually to honor an individual and/or group with a military background that has an impact within the realm of college football.

In 2018, Viti helped Army capture Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy titles for a then-second consecutive year and earn a Bowl victory for the third year in a row in a 70-14 win over Houston. The Black Knights also finished the year with nine consecutive victories, went undefeated at home for the second year in a row and finished the year ranked No. 19 in the nation. Viti tutored a fullback group that saw three rush for 300-or-more yards on the year with RB Darnell Woolfolk leading the way with career-best 958 yards. He also averaged 73.5 yards per game, including a season-high 117 yards against rival Air Force. The fullbacks combined for 24 rushing touchdowns with Woolfolk leading the position group with 14. Woolfolk concluded his career tied for third in program history with 37 touchdowns and ended his tenure ninth all-time in Academy lore with 2,368 yards and a selection to the 2018 East-West Shrine Game. The 2017 season saw the Black Knights bring home the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy for the first time since 1996, winning 10 games for only the second time in Academy history. Viti developed four different fullbacks that made significant impact on the field in 2017. Woolfolk ran for 812 yards in 10 games and tied for the team lead in touchdowns with 14. In his third season, RB Andy Davidson ran for 627 yards. RB Calen Holt and RB Connor Slomka logged 214 yards and a touchdown, while Slomka finished with four touchdowns and 216 yards.

In 2016, Viti tutored Andy Davidson to over 900 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. The 12 scores were the most by an Army Black Knight since QB Trent Steelman posted 12 in the 2011 season. Davidson finished the year with five 100-yard rushing games, including 121 yards and two scores in the season-opening win over Temple. Woolfolk also rushed for 600 yards on 109 carries and nine touchdowns under Viti in 2016. 119 yards and two of those touchdowns were spotlighted against North Texas in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. Prior to developing fullbacks at West Point on the field, Viti spent the 2015 season as the Director of High School and Alumni Relations.

As a player at West Point, Viti, a team captain, earned four varsity letters and served as a Regimental Commander during his senior year. A powerful blocker, Viti paved way as part of the talented rushing attack from 2004-07. Part of a rushing attack that averaged 306 yards per game, Viti carried the ball 91 times in 31 games played for 321 yards and three touchdowns. He also hauled 30 passes for 198 yards, which records as the most for a Black Knight fullback since 2000.

Following graduation, Viti served a deployment as a platoon leader in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, earning a bronze star and a combat action badge.

After retiring from the military as a Captain, Viti embarked on Mike’s Hike For Heroes, a cross country trek where he walked one kilometer for every service member killed in action in the global war on terror. As documented by a breadth of national media, Viti concluded the walk covering 7,100 kilometers (4,400 miles) beginning in Washington the the final steps made entering the 2014 Army-Navy Game, presented by USAA, in Baltimore, Md. Viti is also a co-founder of the Legacies Alive Foundation, which is a non-profit organization whose mission is to strengthen and support the Gold Star families of our nation’s fallen heroes and brings national awareness to the life and character of all service members who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Viti and his wife Laura reside at West Point.

Tucker Waugh is in his 20th season as a member of the Army Football coaching staff. After serving as wide receiv-ers coach in 2014, Waugh returns to coach the slotbacks for the seventh straight season in 2021. Waugh coached at Army from 2000-04, departed for Stanford and returned to West Point after coaching the wide receivers in California. Under Waugh’s guidance, Army has been among the nation’s top rushing teams in each of the last eight years. The Army offense thrived under Waugh in 2020, as the team finished the year with a 9-3 record paced by the nation’s fourth-best rushing attack. Waugh’s slotbacks aided in a ground game that averaged 275.3 yards per contest, and controlled the ball for over 34 minutes per game, a total that was good for sixth in the country. Running back Tyrell Robinson earned All-Independent First Team Honors in 2020 with help from Waugh, as he rushed for 424 total yards in just his first collegiate season. Paced by a dominant rushing attack, Waugh and Army secured the COmmander in Chief Trophy for the third time in four seasons with convincing victories over service academy rivals Air Force and Navy. Waugh’s leadership and expertise with the triple option has helped spark the recent era of success under Head Coach Jeff Monken. With Waugh’s help, Army won back to back CIC trophies in 2017-18 for the first time in pro-gram history while simultaneously making - and winning - three straight bowl games. Under Waugh’s guidance, Army has been among the nation’s top rushing teams since 2010, holding a top-five ranking on nine different occasions. Last seaon the Army rushing attack finished the season with 3863 rushing yards good for an average of 297.2 yards per game both of which ranked third nationally. In 2018, with help from Waugh, the Black Knights earned back-to-back Commander In Chief’s Trophy victories for the first time in program history. It was also the first time Army recorded consecutive 10-plus win seasons after breaking an Academy record with 11 wins. Waugh helped teach slotbacks Kell Walker and Jordan Asberry to an impressive 2018 season. Walker was fifth on the team in rushing with 320 yards on 67 attempts. He posted a career-long 51-yard run against rival Navy on Dec. 8, where he finished with 109 total yards in the game. Asberry became Army’s leading receiver during the year. The senior finished with 219 yards on 11 catches with four touchdowns. In the Black Knights’ triumph over Houston in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl, Asberry ran for a season-best 63 yards in five carries to go along with his 22 yards receiving on just two grabs. In 2017, Waugh and the Black Knights brought home the Commander in Chief’s Trophy for the first time since 1996 and won 10 games for only the second time in academy history at that time. The Cadets claimed the NCAA rushing title, averaging 362.3 yards per game and scored 50 rushing touchdowns to finish second in the nation and set a new program record. Army also led the country in total rushing yards with 4,710 on the year. Waugh’s slotback corps, led by Walker, finished with a career high 629 rushing yards and six touchdowns. He averaged 7.3 yards per carry during the 2017 season, which was the best average on the team. Walker recorded two 100-yard rushing games, including a career best 129 and three scores in a 42-19 win at Rice. Walker was also Army’s top receiver with 111 yards on the season. In 2016, Army was ranked second in the nation in rushing offense and was helped by slotbacks Asberry, Walker and Tyler Campbell. Asberry led the group with 421 yards and five touchdowns. Walker came on strong at the end of the year and proved to be pivotal in wins over Navy and North Texas at the Heart of Dallas Bowl. Campbell was steady all season with 326 yards on the ground and two scores. In 2015, he guided then sophomore John Trainor to an average of 8.7 yards per carry and two rushing touch-downs. Trainor was also Army’s top receiver out of the backfield with eight catches for 176 yards and a touch-down. Then junior Joe Walker racked up 203 yards on the ground on 27 carries that season as well. Waugh tutored a pair of rookies in Asberry and Campbell that made significant contributions throughout the 2015 season. Asberry had 30 carries for 213 yards, while Campbell had 118 yards on 17 rushes, including a 29-yard touchdown run in the Army-Navy Game. In 2013, Army racked up 3,950 yards rushing and 4,678 yards of total offense. Waugh mentored freshman wide receiver Xavier Moss, who established an Army rookie record with 35 receptions. The total shattered the previ-ous mark of 20 set by Jeremy Trimble in 2004, which was also set under Waugh’s guidance. Moss led the team with an Army freshman record of 463 receiving yards. Waugh has also mentored two-time 1,000-yard rusher Raymond Maples, one of just three players to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark twice in their career, and was part of the 2010 staff that led Army to a victory in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. During 2008, Waugh’s first season coaching running backs in Army’s triple-option system, he guided fullback Collin Mooney to a record-breaking season of 1,339 yards. Mooney had just 22 rushing yards prior to establish-ing the Academy single-season record. Waugh was a member of Bobby Ross’ coaching staff and then departed the Academy to work with head coach Walt Harris at Stanford in 2005. At Stanford, Waugh coached NFL All-Pro Richard Sherman to Freshman All-America honors as a wide receiver with the Cardinal. He had 34 catches for 581 yards during the 2006 season. In 2008, Waugh was recognized as one of the up-and-coming assistants in the nation. He was chosen to attend the NCAA Expert Coaches Forum in Dallas, Texas. The Forum is designed to improve and reinforce various aspects of securing, managing and excelling in head football coaching positions at the intercollegiate level. In 2009, Rivals.com named Waugh one of its top 10 recruiters among all non-Bowl Championship Series schools. When Waugh first arrived at Army, he inherited a group of receivers that had caught a total of 14 career passes. Over the next three years, his Black Knight wideouts registered 322 receptions. During that time, he oversaw the development of Aaron Alexander, who graduated in 2005 ranking second on Army’s career charts for both receptions and receiving yards. Waugh mentored Alexander to an Academy-record 64 catches in 2003. His 861 receiving yards that season ranked third on the Army ledger at that time. Prior to arriving at West Point, Waugh coached for five seasons at Illinois State (1995-99). He worked with the Redbirds’ outside linebackers in 1995, running backs in 1996 and wide receivers his final three years. He mentored an All-Gateway Conference selection during each of his three seasons as receivers coach, with Marquis Mosely earning recognition in 1997 and Ricky Garrett copping laurels in both 1998 and 1999. Waugh helped to establish the Redbirds’ passing attack as one of the most prolific in the nation. Illinois State advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in 1998 and reached the Division I-AA national semifinals in 1999. A 1993 graduate of DePauw University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in English Composition and Physical Education, Waugh began his coaching career at Otterbein College in 1993 overseeing the Cardinals’ quarterbacks. He returned to his alma mater in 1994 as a wide receivers coach. He also completed a coaching fellowship with the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League. Waugh lettered at quarterback while playing at DePauw from 1990 to 1992 and was named the school’s “Outstanding Physical Education Major.” Waugh resides at West Point with his sons, Jackson and Nicholas.

Army head coach Jeff Monken named Cody Worley the team’s quarterbacks coach prior to the 2020 season. In his first season with the Black Knights, Worley helped bring stability to a position that saw five different players start a game. The quarterback room was decimated by injuries a season ago, but thanks to the veteran leadership of Worley and his staff, Army’s QB room led the squad to a 9-3 record and it’s third Commander in Chief Trophy in the past four seasons. Worley coached a group of signal callers that helped Army finish as the fourth best rushing offense in the country after averaging 273 yards per game in 2020. His group of QBs also helped Army start the season 6-1, which was just the fourth time in program history a team won six of its first seven contests. Under his guidance, Thyier Tyler became an All-Independent talent and led the Cadets to five wins including two over service academy rivals Air Force and Navy. Worley came to West Point after a six-year stint at Kennesaw State, where he was the quarterbacks coach. In 2019, Kennesaw State had the No. 1 FCS rushing offense, having averaged 342.4 yards per game. The Owls quarterbacks additionally averaged 21.4 yards per completion, which was also topped in the nation. Under Worley’s mentorship, Chandler Burks has emerged as one of the top quarterbacks in the nation, earning back-to-back Big South Offensive Player of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year accolades in 2017 and 2018, the first player in conference history to earn both awards in the same season. He also became the first player in league history to finish with both 1,000 yards rushing and passing during the 2017 campaign. A runner-up for the 2018 Walter Payton Award, Burks led all Division I (FCS or FBS) rushers with 29 touchdowns on the ground to tie the Big South single-season record. He led the FCS in scoring (174 points) and points responsible for (18.3 per game) while ranked fourth in the Big South for rushing yards (905), total offense (149.8 yards/game). Worley also mentored the development of reserve QB Daniel David, who stepped in to log 31 completions for 629 yards and five touchdowns while accounting for 388 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the ground. In 2017, David was crucial in securing a road win over Duquesne, helping lead the Owls to a comeback victory after Burks was hurt in the first half. In the 2016 season, Kennesaw State’s quarterback trio of Burks, White and David accounted for 1,100 rushing, 18 rushing TDs, 1,719 yards passing, and 17 passing TDs with just six interceptions.

HIGHLIGHTS AND GAME NOTES• Head Coach Jeff Monken has led the Black Knights to a season-opening victory

five times since 2015.• With today’s win, Army has won season-openers for three-consecutive seasons

for the first time since 2000. • For the fifth-consecutive year, the Cadets held the opposition to less than 20

yards on their season-opening drive (15 yds.).• This marks the fourth time in the Monken era that the team has put up at least

40 points in a season-opener. • Army scored on its first three drives for the first time since a 28-12 victory over

Morgan State (Aug. 30, 2013). Tyson Riley’s first-drive touchdown also goes down as the fourth season-opening scoring drive in the Monken era.

• Andre Carter II led the team with a career-high three tackles for loss, followed by Marquel Broughton (1.0), Arik Smith (1.0) and Kwabena Bonsu (1.0).

• In total, four different quarterbacks came in for the Cadets: Tyler, Anderson, Jones and Jabari Laws.

ATLANTA, Ga. – The Army West Point football team took care of business on both sides of the ball en route to earning a season-opening 43-10 victory over Georgia State on Saturday afternoon at Center Parc Stadium. The victory marks the 50th of head coach Jeff Monken's Army career. The nation's top defensive unit from a season ago got to work quickly opposite the Panthers (0-1) and recovered a fumble on the opening drive, thanks to Arik Smith. With the ball in his hand, starting quarterback Tyhier Tyler and his offense then put together an eight-play, 40-yard drive that culminated with Tyson Riley's first career touchdown. The four-yard rush put the Black Knights (1-0) up 7-0. After forcing the Panthers to punt away their next possession, the Black Knights once again marched their way down the field on their second drive. Tyler found wide receiver Sean Eckert with a 26-yard pass for the second-to-last play in a six-minute push that ended with AJ Howard's first career touchdown, extending the lead to 14-0. Even when Georgia State had the ball, the momentum continued to favor the visiting team as the Panthers' third drive was ended prematurely when Andre Carter II's sack forced them to punt for the second time in three possessions. Christian Anderson made his first appearance of the year in the final minutes of the first quar-ter, coming in under center for the Black Knights. Though the clock wound down before he could get into the red zone, he picked things right back up at the start of the second quarter and orchestrated a 13-play stretch that ended with Jakobi Buchanan's two-yard rushing touch-down, bumping the lead to 21-0. Following three unanswered touchdowns, Georgia State used a 75-yard drive to get on the board and cut the advantage down to 21-7. The Panthers were able to force the Black Knights to punt, but the momentum did not change for long as Jabari Moore picked off a pass and returned it four yards to GSU's nine yard line. The turnover resulted in Anderson rushing the ball in himself and extending the lead to 27-7 at the half. Though a majority of the action came in the first half, Army continued to control the game after the break. A 40-yard touchdown pass from Anderson to Tyrell Robinson, the team's longest since a 53-yard pass against Mercer (Oct. 24, 2020), got the team back into the scoring column on its second drive of the second half. The drive was partially enabled by the defensive duo of Nolan Cockrill and Chris Frey, who came up with a fourth-down stop to give the Cadets the ball. The teams then went on to trade field goals, with Cole Talley notching a 22-yard kick in response to the Panthers' 33-yard effort, before the Cadets scored their sixth and final touchdown of the day in the final minutes of the game. Jemel Jones, the third quarterback to take snaps, connected a 32-yard pass with Braheam Murphy, pushing the score to its final 43-10 margin.

ARMY HOLDS OFF WESTERN KENTUCKY IN HOME OPENER HIGHLIGHTS AND GAME NOTES

• Prior to the game, the team honored the thousands of Americans that lost their lives 20 years ago on September 11, 2001.

• This was the first time Army has beat Western Kentucky in the series history. The Cadets now trail the series 3-1.

• The contest with the Hilltoppers was the team’s first in front of fans at Michie Stadium since a 47-6 victory over VMI on Nov. 16, 2019 as COVID-19 restrictions stipulated that only West Point personnel and the Corps of Cadets could attend home contests in 2020.

• For the second-straight week, the Black Knights forced the opposing team to turn the ball over on their opening drive. Marquel Broughton helped the team achieve the feat today, picking off a pass and returning it five yards.

• This marks the fourth time in the Monken era that Army has opened up a season with back-to-back wins (2016-17, 2020). The 2016 team opened up its slate with three-straight.

• With today’s victory, Army has now won 11-straight games at Michie Stadium.

• The 81 points that the Cadets have put up in their first two games are the most combined since the 2017 season when the program racked up 85 after defeating Fordham (64-6) and Buffalo (21-17).

• Army earned the advantage in time of possession, dominating Western Kentucky 39:38-20:22.

WEST POINT, N.Y. - Army West Point football opened Michie Stadium with a 38-35 win over the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on Saturday afternoon. The Black Knights are 2-0 for the fourth time in the Jeff Monken era.

The Hilltoppers (1-1) found their rhythm early until Marquel Broughton picked off a pass for his third career interception. It was the team’s second consecutive game forcing a turnover on its opponent’s opening possession. The stop shut down a seven-play, 39-yard drive by Western Kentucky. Christian Anderson got the start under center looking to help the Cadets find their groove. He threw his first of five completed passes to Brandon Walters, but the drive came to a halt when the Cadets fumbled the ball. The first quarter ended scoreless after an-other Western Kentucky drive was cut short by the Army defense. Tyrell Robinson came out energetic in the second quarter, rushing for 24 yards on the first play of the second quarter to get Army on the board first. Robinson recorded his third career touchdown and his longest rush since the 2020 season when he had a 50-yard run against Abilene Christian. Cole Talley secured the extra point for the Black Knights to make the score 7-0.

The defense went to work on their side of the ball holding the Hilltoppers to two yards on their next drive forcing Western Kentucky to punt. Back under center, Anderson found Bra-heam Murphy and connected for a 40-yard touchdown pass, his second 40-yard pass of the season. Army jumped ahead to a 14-0 lead over Western Kentucky, but the Hilltoppers found their way to the endzone with a 73-yard touchdown pass on the following possession.

The Black Knights’ offense responded quickly compiling a 16-play, 75-yard drive that was com-pleted by a one-yard touchdown run by Jakobi Buchanan to extend Army’s lead to 21-7 with 2:07 left in the first half. However, Western Kentucky’s offense drove 75 yards in under two minutes to cut Army’s lead to 21-14 heading into the break. Army, which received the ball to start the second half, scored on its first drive of the half. Anthony Adkins rushed for a three-yard touchdown, becoming the fourth Cadet to score, giving Army a 28-14 lead. The defense kept that momentum going on the other side of the ball, shutting down the Hilltoppers fourth down pass attempt on the Army 29-yard line to get the ball back in the Cadets’ possession. Army strung together a 14-play, 71-yard drive to get on the board first in the fourth quarter. Anderson was taken down during the drive but bounced back to inch the Cadets closer and closer to the endzone. Buchanan sealed the deal by rushing for a three-yard touchdown to lift Army to a 35-14 lead with 10 minutes remaining.

The Hilltoppers fought back with a 21-yard touchdown pass to cut Army’s lead to 35-21. The offense worked on stringing together a drive to close out the game but was stopped on fourth down, giving the ball back to the Hilltoppers. In six plays, Western Kentucky had cut Army’s lead to 35-28 with five minutes left. The Cadets kept fighting on the offensive side of the ball, with Anderson rushing for 30 yards during the series to get Army to the Western Kentucky’s 14-yard line.

Cole Talley connected on a 31-yard field goal to add cushion to Army’s lead, 38-28, with three minutes on the clock. Western Kentucky made one last push, scoring on a two-yard run with 22 seconds left.

The early slew of scoring was highlighted by a 55-yard career-long rush for Brandon Walters, Isaiah Alston’s first career touchdown and Christian Anderson’s 10th career strike. On the other side of the ball, the Black Knights’ defense did a great job of stifling the opposing offense early on. UConn (0-4) was limited to a total of 27 yards in its first three drives and was forced to punt the ball twice. Up 21-0 in the second quarter, the Cadets continued to make plays. On the second snap of the team’s fifth drive of the day, Tyrell Robinson made a career-long, 70-yard run into the end zone to extend the lead to 28-0. It marked the team’s longest since an 83-yard effort against UMass (Nov. 9, 2019) and bested Robinson’s previous career record by 20 yards. The Huskies got the ball back but turned it over to the Black Knights quickly, as Marquel Broughton came up with his second interception in as many games. Army took over the over the ball at the 33-yard line and ended up scoring once again when Jakobi Buchanan punched in a two-yard rush to push the advantage to 35-0. UConn attempted to gain back some of the momentum before heading into the locker room, stringing together a nine-play 37 yard drive, but the team’s efforts were halted by Nolan Cockrill, who broke up a pass. Jemel Jones then came in under center for Army and, after being slightly detained by the Huskies’ defense, handed the ball to Anthony Adkins, whose one-yard run into the end zone made it a 42-0 game at halftime. Jones came back out to take snaps for the Cadets following the break but for the first time all day, the drive did not end in a touchdown. Following eight scoreless possessions, the Huskies got on the board with a 38-yard run and trimmed the score down to 42-7. The teams then went on to trade scores, as Wilson Catoe notched his first career touchdown and UConn returned a kickoff for 96 yards to make it a 49-14 game in favor of Army. With one quarter left of action, the Cadets ate up the clock before setting up Cole Talley with a 28-yard field goal. After possessing the ball for over 11 minutes, the Black Knights pushed their lead to 52-14. UConn made one final push, stringing together a 10-play drive to get into the end zone and cement the final score at 52-21. Saturday’s victory over the Huskies marks Army’s first time opening up a season with three-straight wins since 2016.

WEST POINT, N.Y. – For the first time since 1996, the Army West Point football team has started off its season 4-0 after defeating Miami (OH) by a score of 23-10 on Saturday at Michie Stadium. With the result, the Black Knights have extended their winning streak at Michie Stadium to 13 games. The contest was highlighted by a career day from QB Christian Anderson who rushed for 236 yards, which stands as the sixth-most all-time in a single game. The feat falls 29 yards short of the Academy’s quarterback rushing record, held by QB Ahmad Bradshaw (265 yds, 2017). Anderson opened the game attacking the rushing record with a 72-yard touchdown statement on the team’s third snap of the game. The RedHawks (1-3) got off to a slower start, as the Black Knights’ defensive unit forced the opposing team to punt on their first two possessions. Following an exchange of punts, includ-ing Army’s first punt since the third quarter of the season-opener at Georgia State (Sept. 4), the Cadets responded on the following drive by coming up with their fourth takeaway of 2021 on a key CB Cameron Jones interception. Jones’ snare was the third of his career. Miami (OH) aimed to string a few plays together, but their efforts were slightly stunted by OLB Andre Carter II’s recording his fifth solo sack of the year, to regain position as the nation’s sack leader with 5.5 total sacks in 2021. Despite the sack, the RedHawks put together a 13-play, 69-yard drive that ended in a field goal and trimmed Army’s lead down to 7-3. Anderson responded immediately by finding a gap on another 70-plus touchdown run, where the career-setting 75-yard rush was his 13th rushing TD as a Black Knight and extended the lead to 14-3. After an exchange of stalled drives on both sidelines, WR Reikan Donaldson broke up the back-and-forth action with a blocked punt. S Quindrelin Hammonds made the recovery, allowing the Black Knights to take over at Miami’s 14-yard line. Tailing off a goal-line push at the two yard-line, K Cole Talley delivered a 21-yard field goal to push the score to 17-3. Miami (OH) tried to gain some momentum on its next drive, but the tandem of DL Nolan Cockrill and LB Jaylen Jacobs took the wind out of their sails with another Black Knight sack. For the fourth-straight game, the Black Knights went into the halftime break with the lead After punting to open up the second half, the defense stayed strong and came up with a huge stop at fourth-and-one thanks to the duo of S Cedrick Cunningham Jr. and S Marquel Brough-ton, who stopped an attempted run on the ensuing third down. Army took over the ball at its own one-yard line and began to charge down the field. The drive was nearly thwarted when the RedHawks came up with a sack, but Anderson broke free from three defenders on the next play to record another explosive play with a 42-yard run near the quarter’s end. At the top of the fourth quarter, the Black Knights picked right back up where they left off when RB Anthony Adkins made a four-yard strike. The touchdown capped off a 99-yard drive for Army that took nearly 11 minutes to complete and moved the advantage to 23-3. The RedHawks responded by logging their first touchdown of the day on an 80-yard pass down the sideline. With the lead trimmed down to 23-10, the teams traded possessions before Army was able to run the clock down and secure its fourth win of the season.

MUNCIE, Ind. – The Army West Point football team suffered its first loss of the 2021 season on Saturday at Scheumann Stadium, falling 28-16 at the hands of Ball State. Though they trailed by as much as 21-0, the Black Knights (4-1) were able to claw their way back into the game and at one point were down by just one possession. Ultimately, an of-fensive outburst in the first quarter allowed the Cardinals (2-3) to come away with the victory. Despite the result, the night was highlighted by Army’s ability to limit Ball State to 30-points-or-less for the fifth time in the 22-year history between the two teams. A large part of that effort was accredited to linebacker Arik Smith, who recorded a season- and team-best nine tackles. Ball State controlled the game out of the gate and opened up the action with a 99-yard kickoff return to take a 7-0 lead. The Cardinals scored for three-straight drives at the start of the game and earned their 21-0 advantage by the end of the first quarter. Their 101 yards in the opening 15 minutes were almost more than the team’s second (53 yards) and fourth quarter (50 yards) efforts combined. After a quiet start, Army’s offense began to come to life in the second quarter when running back Braheam Murphy got things going with a 25-yard run for a first down. Quarterback Tyhier Tyler eventually capped the drive on a five-yard run in to the end zone to cut the lead to 21-7. On the other side of the ball, the Black Knights’ defense began to settle in and was able to force Ball State to call out the special teams unit and punt. Army kept up the momentum when it got the ball back and went on to score for the second-straight possession when Tyler capped off a 14-play, 80-yard drive with a two-yard run into the end zone. The strike allowed Tyler to achieve the second multi-TD game of his career and brought Ball State’s lead down to just one possession at 21-14. As the clock wound down on the opening half, the Cardinals attempted to find their way into Army’s half of the field once again but linebacker Nathaniel Smith came up with a five-yard sack. Though the Black Knights had the ball coming out of the break, the offense struggled through the third quarter, punting three times and turning the ball over once. Ball State’s best chance to score was on its first drive of the second half, but that drive was stalled by Army’s defense as N. Smith broke up a pass on third-and-seven. The duo of defensive lineman Nolan Cockrill and linebacker Andre Carter II sacked the quarterback on the following play. The offensive troubles followed the Cadets into the fourth quarter, as turnovers and failure to convert on fourth down stunted the team. Ball State was able to use its second interception of the outing to its advantage and eventually got into the end zone once again with an 18-yard pass, extending the edge to 28-14. With quarterback Jemel Jones stepping in under center, Army stormed its way into the red zone, but was unable to convert. With just over two minutes left in the game, a safety allowed the Black Knights to collect some last-minute points, but the game was eventually solidified at a 28-16 margin of victory for the Cardinals.

MADISON, Wis. – In the first-ever matchup between the Army Black Knights and Wisconsin Badgers, a crowd reaching north of 75,000 saw a wire-to-wire bout on Saturday night. However when the final whistle blew, the Black Knights saw a 20-14 defeat at Camp Randall Stadium.

Army came into the game expecting a physical battle at the line of scrimmage, where both schools entered Week 7 as the top two schools ranked in rushing efficiency on both sides of the ball. On the opening defensive drive, the Black Knights proved their rank as OLB Andre Carter strip-sacked Badgers QB Graham Mertz for his 8.5 total sack through six games of action. With DL Nolan Cockrill recovering the fumble, It also marked the third time that the Black Knights created a takeaway on the opponent’s opening drive.

On Wisconsin’s next drive, the Cadets defensive pressure proved too much for the Badgers and forced a three-and-out. Army QB Tyhier Tyler and the offense picked up a couple of first downs, but eventually were forced to punt the ball away. The run-heavy approaches from both benches saw a first quarter was played at lightning speed, with the 15 minute game clock expiring in only 28 minutes of real time.

Wisconsin held possession of the ball through the break and would go on to score with 12:58 left in the second quarter. With the ball back in the hands of Army, the Black Knights looked to respond. After rushes of two and one yards from Tyler and RB Tyrell Robinson, respectively, Tyler broke free for an 18-yard trot. The Badger defense stepped up to force another Zach Harding punt, regaining possession with 9:36 left in the second quarter.

Wisconsin would follow up with a 10-play, 81-yard drive to take a 13-0 lead towards the tail end of the first half. Carter used his 6-foot-7 frame to get a hand on the extra point, his first-career block, to hold the score at 13-0 heading into the half.

After receiving the ball to start the second half, Army looked to immediately respond. Tyler started off the drive with a six-yard run, and following a five-yard Wisconsin penalty, QB Jabari Laws entered the game for the second time in 2021 to take under center for the Black Knights. Laws dropped back and fired a pass to WR Isaiah Alston, who caught the pass and was brought down after a 34-yard gain. The Wisconsin defense remained stout, forcing a fourth-down that would see K Cole Talley miss a 43-yard field goal wide right.

With the remainder of the third quarter in back-and-forth rushing bout, the Black Knights would end it on a 12-play, 36-yard drive was cut short on another Harding punt.

Army battled back on the opening drive of the fourth quarter with another eight-play, 54-yard drive that ended with Tyler rushing for five yards to find the end zone for the Cadets. During the drive, Tyler had a 36-yard run which was the longest of the game for Army and one of the longest runs allowed by the Badgers this season. Talley put the ball through the uprights to make the score 13-7 and bring the Black Knights within a one-possession game in the waning moments of regulation. Wisconsin took aim to seal the game and drain the clock with its rushing attack, yet Army would force a punt with under five minute remaining in the game.

ARMY BATTLES WAKE FOREST IN OFFENSIVE SHOOTOUT

HIGHLIGHTS AND GAME NOTES• The Black Knights 595 yards of total offense marks as the second time for Army to

surpass the 500 yard mark in 2021. • While the yardage ties for the sixth most single game yardage earned for the

Academy since 2000, it matches the most the Black Knights have put up against an ACC opponent in 21 years (Boston College, 2012).

• The 595 yards of offense is also the second time to post 500-plus yards on Wake Forest since 2012.

• The 56 points Army scored against Wake Forest accounts for only the ninth-most scored in a game since 2000. It’s the 15th time post 50 or more points in a game in 21 years.

• With WR Isaiah Alston hauling in two receiving touchdowns in Week 8, it’s the first time in 11 years for a Black Knight to post a multi-receiving TD game. It’s been 15 years since it happened at Michie Stadium.

• QB Jabari Laws posted his first multi-passing TD game of his career. His 140 yards thrown against Wake Forest accounts for the second-most in a single game of his career. It’s also the most passing yards seen in a single game for Army in two years.

• QB Tyhier Tyler posted his second career 100-plus rushing game (104). • Robinson posted a career-high 131 total scrimmage yards in Week 8. The tally

WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Michie Stadium 111-point combined scoring record, set in a victory against Louisville on Oct. 7, 1999, eclipsed on Saturday as the Army Black Knights fell to the No.16 Wake Forest Demon Deacons in a 70-56 offensive shootout. The 126-combined point total started early in the game with three-minute Wake Forest (7-0, 4-0 ACC) drive capped by a 3-yard run. Matching their own three-minute response, the Black Knights saw RB Brandon Walters marking his first career touchdown on a six-yard rush piercing up the middle. Following a quick Demon Deacons score to close out the first quarter, Army continued to match blow-for-blow when RB JaKobi Buchanan punched in a three-yard touchdown run (11th career) to cap off a 12-play, 55-yard drive that took nearly seven minutes off the clock. Both schools exchanged explosive touchdowns, including a 24-yard rush by QB Tyhier Tyler, the second-longest rushing touchdown of his career. In the waning moments of the first half, Wake Forest again struck quickly take a 28-21 lead into the half. Receiving the ball first to start the second half, Army’s explosive effort continued with a pair of 20-plus yard rushes from Tyler (22) and Walters (23) that sparked a drive to find Buchanan punching in a goal line rush to mark his second-multi touchdown game in 2021. The third quarter saw five scoring drives on both sides, including the Black Knights first fake-field goal attempt that was picked off by Wake Forest and run back to endzone to create a 42-28 lead. Despite the momentum swing, Army swung back with RB Anthony Adkins piercing through the Wake defensive front to log a career-long 71 yards rushing touchdown. At the start of the fourth quarter with Wake Forest having a 49-35 edge, the teams con-tinued to trade a pair of touchdowns, including QB Jabari Laws throwing two touchdown passes - the first on a crucial 4th-and-9 that saw WR Isaiah Alston hauling in a Play Of The Day one-handed grab. Laws’ second touchdown throw found RB Tyrell Robinson escape wide to the haul in a back-shoulder throw to edge further into the scoring gap. With the score set at 70-49 following an Army turnover attributing to one of two additional Demon Deacon rushing scores in the waning moments of regulation, the Black Knights’ of-fense refused to let its foot off the pedal and assembled a final explosive three-play, 65-yard drive, one-minute drive ending with another touchdown pass from Laws to Alston. Unable to recover an on-side kicking attempt, the 70-56 final tally saw the highest scoring action in West Point. Falling 70-56 to Wake Forest, Army’s 13-game winning streak at Michie Stadium came to an end. The streak was set as the fifth-longest active streak in the nation heading into Week 8.

ARLINGTON, Texas – Jabari Moore’s heroic pass break up in the end zone helped push the Army West Point football team past Air Force to a 21-14 result in the Lockheed Commanders’ Classic presented by USAA on Saturday afternoon. The win, which was earned at the Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Field, assures that the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy will remain at West Point for another year, as both the Black Knights (5-3) and the Falcons (6-3, 3-2 Mountain West) are now tied in the CIC standings with one victory apiece. Army will have a chance to outright win the trophy during its game against Navy (Dec. 11). Both offenses were a little slow out of the gate in the first neutral site game between the teams since 1965. Though Andre Carter II forced a fumble on the Falcons’ opening drive, Air Force prevented the turnover by making a recovery. The first three drives of the contest ended in punts and neither side was able to get anything going until the end of the first quarter when Anthony Adkins made a diving play to extend a seemingly-stalled drive on fourth-and-one. Adkins’ punch allowed the team to eventually get into field goal range, but Cole Talley’s 26-yard attempt went wide right to keep the game scoreless. The offensive struggles continued after the first break, as each team punted away its first possession of the second quarter. Air Force started to gain momentum on its next drive and charged 53 yards down the field to Army’s 27 before the tandem of Kemonte Yow and Malkelm Morrison made a huge fourth-down stop to kill the drive. Ultimately, the clock wound down on the first half before either team could score. Army took a 119-88 advantage in total yards into the locker room in just their second scoreless opening half of the year (vs. Wisconsin, Oct. 16). The break was a welcomed reprieve for the Cadets, who used it to kickstart their offense. Coming out of the half, Tyrell Robinson provided a spark when he made a 31-yard return on the kickoff, his second longest of the season. The drive, which was additionally boosted by a 39-yard dime from Tyhier Tyler to Robinson, ended in Army’s first touchdown of the day when Tyler punched in a nine-yard run. His 10th career rushing touchdown put the Black Knights up 7-0. With the ball back in their hands, the Falcons attempted to string together a response. Though Yow and Morrison came up with another big stop on third down, Air Force converted the ensuing fourth-and-one to prolong the drive, which ultimately ended in a 39-yard field goal that cut the lead down to 7-3. Having found its groove, Army’s offense continued to have success on its next possession as Christian Anderson connected a 79-yard touchdown pass with Tyrell Robinson on the second snap. Anderson’s season-long passing strike re-extended the Black Knights’ advantage to 14-3. The momentum continued to favor the Cadets when Air Force got the ball back. After a pair of completed passes, Carter tipped a ball in the air to Cameron Jones who returned his interception for a career-long 48 yards before the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Falcons were able to control the pace of play for the first time all day. After being kept from the end zone for seven drives, Air Force punched in a four-yard run and used a two-point conversion to trim Army’s lead down to one possession at 14-11. The Falcons quickly got the ball back and used the final five minutes on the clock to storm down the field. A penalty took some of the wind out of their sails, bringing the ball back out of the red zone, but a 30-yard Falcon field goal tied the game up at 14-14 and sent the action into overtime. Appearing in its first overtime game since a 2019 contest at Michigan, Army needed just five snaps to arrive on the Falcons’ doorstep. Though all appeared lost when Anderson fumbled the ball on the edge of the end zone, a massive recovery by Jordyn Law helped the team get the touchdown and handed the Black Knights a 21-14 lead. While the offense’s effort put Army on the edge of victory, the defense brought it home. Carter came up with a sack for a loss of seven yards on the Falcons’ second play of their overtime possession and though Air Force was able to get within striking distance, a huge pass breakup by Jabari Moore in the end zone preserved the Cadets’ win.

With Saturday’s result, Army has now won four of its past five dates with Air Force and is close to winning the program’s 10th outright CIC Trophy.

WEST POINT, N.Y. – For the fifth time in six years, the Army West Point football team is Bowl Game eligible thanks to its 63-10 win against Bucknell on Saturday afternoon at Michie Stadium. To go along with the excitement of becoming Bowl-eligible in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2017-18, the team surpassed the 50-point mark for the third time in 2021. The Black Knights (6-3) used 486 yards of total offense to achieve the feat and had nine different players reach the end zone in a game that saw both teams battle a flurry of rain, wind and hail. The Cadets got to work quickly with a 21-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. QB Christian An-derson, RB JaKobi Buchanan and QB Tyhier Tyler all found the end zone, helping the team put up its highest first-quarter points this season. Along with the team’s success on the offensive side of the ball, Army received defensive support early on from OLB Andre Carter II, who grabbed his first interception of the year on Bucknell’s (1-9, 0-5 PL) opening drive before recording an 11-yard sack. Army’s offensive success followed it into the next stanza, as the Black Knights scored on all three of their drives in the second quarter. Both RB Anthony Adkins and RB Tyson Riley extended the team’s lead with rushing touchdowns before RB Ay’Jaun Marshall ended the opening half in exciting fashion by recording his first career strike. The sophomore caught a 22-yard pass from QB Jabari Laws to secure a 42-0 lead before the halftime break for the second time this season, joining the effort against UConn (Sept. 18). Though the weather held up for the start of the action, a storm moved in quickly during the halftime break and caused the game to enter a lightning delay. After an hour pause, the teams were able to take the field once again and resume the outing. On the first drive of the second half, QB Cade Ballard orchestrated a 15-play, 80-yard drive that ate up more than half of the third quarter and finished with RB Markens Pierre’s first career touchdown. His four-yard run extended the team’s lead to 49-0 and was Army’s only score of the third quarter, as the Cadets, worn down by heavy winds and rain, lost a bit of their energy. In response to the dip, Bucknell took advantage of the window by ending the shutout. The Bison needed just five plays to spring one of their own free and used a 19-yard run to reach the end zone, trimming the Black Knights’ lead down to 49-7. The momentum followed the visitors into the following drive, as a fumble allowed them to take over the ball at the 10-yard line. Army’s defense came together and prevented a trip to the end zone, but the Bison were still able to come away with a field goal that cut the score down to 49-10. After a few shaky plays, the Black Knights went on to dominate the fourth quarter and tacked on an additional two touchdowns, thanks to RB Shacori Williams and QB Jemel Jones. Both Williams, who recorded his first career strike, and Jones ran the ball in to push the team over 60 points for the first time since a 2019 victory over UMass (63-7; Nov. 9). On the other side of the ball, the defense limited Bucknell to just three total yards before OLB Cole Mabry ended the game with a 10-yard sack. With the win in the books, Army will now await its postseason pairing in one of the ESPN Events Bowl Games having won three of its past four appearances.

WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army Black Knights closed out the home portion of its 2021 slate with a 33-17 senior day victory over UMass at Michie Stadium. A 14-point effort in the fourth quarter helped the Black Knights (7-3) put away the game against the Minutemen (1-10), who trailed Army by as little as two with less than 14 minutes to go. Out-side linebacker Andre Carter II also highlighted the contest by breaking the program’s 12-year-old season sack record when he reached 13.5 on the year, besting defensive end Josh McNary’s previous mark of 12.5 (2009). Both running back JaKobi Buchanan and quarterback Tyhier Tyler helped boost the Cadets to the win with Buchanan recording 49 of his 75 yards on a scoring drive that finished with a dive over UMass’ defensive line to put the home team on top at 26-17. An interception by safety Cedrick Cunningham Jr. then facilitated a drive that saw Tyler put the game out of reach with a 25-yard touchdown run that pushed the team to its final margin of victory. The Minutemen were the first to strike in the fourth-ever meeting between the two teams, using a recovered fumble to get into scoring position. Though Army’s defense prevented them from reaching the end zone, the visitors came away with a 45-yard field goal that put them up 3-0, marking the Cadets’ first time allowing an opposing team to score in the opening quarter since a game against Wake Forest (Oct. 23). Army was quick to respond to the early push, as running back Tyrell Robinson made a career-long, 87-yard touchdown run on the second snap of the following drive. Running back Cade Bar-nard then found tight end Josh Lingenfelter with a floater to complete the two-point conversion, giving Army its first lead of the day at 8-3. The teams traded touchdowns at the start of the second quarter, which began with a three-yard dive from running back Wilson Catoe. Once again, the Black Knights secured the two-point con-version when quarterback Christian Anderson connected a pass with tight end Chris Cameron. UMass’ strike was recorded with a five-yard toss after a 38-yard pass put them in the red zone, cutting the Black Knights down to a one-possession lead at 16-10. A stalled-out Cadet drive allowed the Minutemen to get the ball back quickly, but their chance was killed when Carter came up with his record-breaking sack and a forced fumble, which was recovered by Nolan Cockrill. The play allowed the team to finish the half with a 33-yard field goal from kicker Cole Talley that extended the home team’s advantage to 19-10 before the clock wound down. The game slowed down dramatically after the trip to the locker room, as just 102 yards of total offense were recorded in the scoreless third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Army scored 14 unanswered points in the last stanza to earn the victory. With the result, the Black Knights secured their sixth-straight season with a winning record at Michie Stadium. Over that stretch, Army has earned a 32-5 advantage over visiting teams, high-lighted by three undefeated campaigns. Additionally, the victory puts head coach Jeff Monken (56-42) just two wins away from tying Charles Daly (58-13-3; 1913-16, 1919-22) as the second-winningest coach in Army Football his-tory. Earl “Red” Blaik (1941-58) owns the record with a career mark of 121-33-10.

LYNCHBURG, Va. – Behind a career day from running back Jakobi Buchanan, the Army Black Knights were able to pick up a 31-16 victory over Liberty on Saturday afternoon at Williams Stadium. The junior paced both sides with 80 rushing yards, an effort that was highlighted by a season-long 19-yard touchdown run, and reached the end zone a career-high three times. Buchanan helped the Black Knights (8-3) outgain Liberty (7-5) on the ground with 220 yards rushing against the 79 rushing yard output by Liberty. Army got on the board quickly in the second-ever meeting between the two teams, scoring on each of its first four possessions of the day. After kicker Cole Talley started things off with a 26-yard field goal, the Black Knights went on to jump out to a 24-0 lead using a pair of touchdown strikes from Buchanan and a receiving score from running back Braheam Murphy, who caught a 34-yard pass from quarterback Christian Anderson. The Cadets’ defensive unit also flexed its muscles in the opening half, stifling most of the Flames’ offensive efforts. Liberty turned the ball over on downs at the end of its first drive before its second was ended when a trick play was thwarted by cornerback Bo Nicolas-Paul, who made his first career interception. The struggles followed the Flames into the second quarter, as linebacker Arik Smith ended a possession with a 16-yard sack before the team was unable to convert on fourth-and-five. Towards the end of the first half, Liberty made it into the red zone for the first time after completing back-to-back passes up the middle. The Black Knights’ defense battled back, with nose tackle Nolan Cockrill contributing a four-yard sack on third down, ultimately forcing the home team to settle for a 36-yard field goal that ended the shutout and sent the teams into the halftime break with Army up 24-3. Coming out of the locker room, the Black Knights demon-strated their ability to control the clock by putting together a possession that lasted over eight minutes. The 14-play, 75-yard drive ended with Buchanan’s third touchdown plunge of the day and extended the lead to 31-3. After making some halftime adjustments, Liberty rebounded offensively with back-to-back drives, including a 14-yard touchdown pass and a seven-yard rush that cut the deficit down to 31-16. A failed two-point conversion prevented the team from lowering the advantage even further, though the momentum did carry over to the defense as the Flames forced Army to go three-and-out for the first time all afternoon. Though the Black Knights’ offense was quiet in the final quarter, recording just 43 total yards, punter Zach Harding provided a bright spot. The senior pinned two punts inside the 10-yard line, with linebacker Fabrice Voyne helping to down a ball on the one. The Flames, who also slowed down in the last 15 minutes, tried to make one last play before the clock ran out but cornerback Jabari Moore picked off their last-ditch pass and returned it for 19 yards to help the score remain in favor of Army at its final margin of 31-16. With the victory, the Black Knights have finished the regular season 2-2 in road contests, helping the team finish .500-or-better on the road for the second time in four years. Additionally, head coach Jeff Monken (57-42) is now just one win away from tying Charles Daly (1913-1916, 1919-22; 58-13-3) on the program’s all-time coaching wins list.
