So here we sit in November and the Black Knights of Army stand undefeated. I think I can speak for the fan base, and say that we’ve all been impressed by this team. To me, the wins and losses are neither as profound nor as impressive as something else that every one of these cadets […]
As we head into Army Football’s first season in the American Athletic Conference, fans have begun wondering what we can expect from this year’s team. Plenty of prognosticators have made attempts to put the season into some kind of numerical context, but alas, these often do not agree. The two most mainstream projections both come […]
It’s finally here! EA Sports has finally dropped their new, long-awaited college football game, NCAA College Football 25. We didn’t know what to expect from this game. After such a long wait, what could EA Sports do to impress us? Would the game be better than Madden? Thankfully it is. In fact, this game marks […]
It’s the offseason, folks, and with the cadets out for summer military training, we don’t even have the preseason to talk about. Which is why we’re introducing a new series called “Army Football 101”. This series will serve as a basic primer for newcomers to Army Football fandom, and to that end, we’ll archive these […]
Army Football returns to the under center triple-option this year after a year in the Shotgun-Option that did not exactly go as planned. We all saw how successful this new version of the old offense could be in the game against Coastal Carolina at the end of last season, but still it’s worth spending a […]

We here at As For Football are BIG fans of keeping up that excitement, but our goal […]

Army Football has announced the installation of a new playing surface for the first time since 2015. The eight years the last turf spent as the surface is the longest tenure since the 1992-2000 carpet was removed. With a new era of Blaik Field beginning, let’s go back to take a look at the different […]
It’s hard to imagine Army’s offense running anything except the Flexbone Triple-Option. It seems much longer than a mere 14 years since Army tried running a pass-oriented offense. But from 2000-2008, that’s exactly what they did. During that period, the newly branded “Black Knights” combined for a record of 20-85 with no bowl appearances. Then, […]
I attended Army’s Black and Gold Game this past Friday night. Friends, this thing was a Hell of a lot of fun. Like a lot of folks, I wanted to see how Army’s new offense would look. It was weird, though, because this was a scrimmage — Army vs. Army. So for as much as […]
