Yesterday's Army Football Game

After teams started canceling football games this season, Army Athletics put together a brand new schedule so that the team could play.  Granted, many of Army's new opponents aren't known as perennial football powerhouses, and the new schedule has 8 (eight!) home games, so this season isn't really considered a test of the prowess of the program, but at least the team is playing.

Last week army beat Middle Tennessee 42-0.  Yesterday Army beat Lousiana-Monroe 37-7.  Next week should be more of a challenge as BYU, which beat Navy 55-3, travels to West Point.

There were plenty of fun plays yesterday, but 2 really stand out--and coincidentally, they're shown consecutively in this video. In the first (1:14 in the video), Army is 1st-and-15 on its own 48 in the closing seconds of the half and throws a pass.  The catch is spectacular!

The second fun play (1:38 in the video) is at 9:03 left in the 3rd with Army up 17-7.  It's 4th-and-10 with Army on its own 35 yard line, and Army is lined up to punt.  Just watch to see what happens!
