Army is the only team in the FBS that has scored a touchdown on every first offensive drive of every game this season.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To show that isn\u2019t a fluke, Army has scored touchdowns on its first two possessions in each game.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Black Knights\u2019 point differential of plus-103 is its most through four games since 1985.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It\u2019s not surprising that Army leads the nation in rushing offense. The Black Knights are averaging 371.2 yards per game and 6.5 yards per carry. How dominant has that been? The No. 2 team in the nation is UCF with an average of 326 rushing yards per game.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quarterback Bryson Daily has been impressive as a rusher and efficient as a passer. He has completed just 50% of his passes but is averaging 20 yards per completion and has thrown three touchdown passes and no interceptions. It\u2019s running the ball where he has truly excelled with 492 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Leaping into the weekend with Bryson Daily \ud83e\udee1 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XhqU6IXP5R\">pic.twitter.com\/XhqU6IXP5R<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Army Football (@ArmyWP_Football) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ArmyWP_Football\/status\/1839696918294798555?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 27, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Not surprisingly, Daily is not the only major running threat for Army. Noah Short has 344 rushing yards for an eye-popping 13.8 average and two touchdowns. Kanye Udoh has gained 297 yards and four touchdowns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With Army getting off to quick leads, opponents haven\u2019t been able to establish a running game. Army allows just 65 rushing yards per game and just 2.9 yards per carry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Army allows just 195 passing yards per game, and the Black Knights have more interceptions (six) than touchdown passes allowed (five).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is plenty of depth on defense. Nine players have recorded nine of more tackles, led by junior linebacker Andon Thomas, who has a team-high 22 tackles.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is a lot of parity in the AAC, Army doesn\u2019t have to face Memphis or Tulane. And of course, the Navy game doesn\u2019t count as a conference contest. That doesn\u2019t mean there won\u2019t be potential challenges, though.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-9a04ddb9\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-ca0a0411 related_art_block\">\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-808aa430 gb-headline-text\">Related Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/fbs-pac-12-boise-state-conference-realignment-mountain-west-college-football-cpcp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pac-12 &amp; Boise State Conference Realignment: How The Broncos\u2019 Move Impacts The Mountain West &amp; College Football<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/fbs-bowl-game-predictions-projections-group-of-five-cpcp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2024 FBS Bowl Game Predictions, Including the College Football Playoff, Frisco Bowl &amp; More<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/fbs-ashton-jeanty-heisman-trophy-watch-boise-state-rb-best-player-cfb-cpcp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ashton Jeanty Heisman Trophy Watch: Why The Boise State RB Could Be The Best Player In College Football<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reason-for-skepticism\">Reason For Skepticism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Black Knights haven\u2019t exactly played the most difficult of schedules to date. They opened with a 42-7 win over FCS Lehigh. Their three AAC wins have come against three Owl teams \u2013 Florida Atlantic, Rice, and Temple. Those three have a combined record of 4-11.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To Army\u2019s credit, it has beaten who is on the schedule, but the more challenging part of the slate comes in the second half. Among the key games are a non-league matchup against Notre Dame and interesting AAC contests against East Carolina and North Texas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One other thing that must be monitored is Army\u2019s pass rush. The Black Knights didn\u2019t have a sack in their first three games before registering seven against Temple.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The big question: Can the Black Knights come back from a deficit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It hasn\u2019t happened yet this season. Army has not trailed at any point this year, though the Black Knights were tied 7-7 in the opener against Lehigh before scoring the final 35 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There appears to be great parity in the AAC. Army would appear to have as good of a chance as any team to earn one of the berths in the AAC title game. There are plenty of hurdles to clear, but Army has shown enough during the first third of its regular season schedule to think that the Black Knights could be in this race for the long haul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army has certainly enjoyed its inaugural season in the AAC.
