Army

The Army Black Knights have had a nice turnaround season this year. Army is headed for the postseason after beating Kent State and moving to 6-4 last weekend. This week they’ll face a historical power in prime time at Yankee Stadium. It’s a great chance to show the nation how improved they are.

The Army team is all about the running game. Trent Steelman is the man under center, and he does a great job running the triple option. It’s all about making the right decision, and Steelman has proved he has good decision making skills. Army ranks eighth in the nation in rushing yards per game. They are also dead last in the country in passing yards per game. Overall, the offense averages 31 points per game, which is a pretty impressive output. If they can run the ball on Notre Dame, they can certainly win this game.

The Army defense is also much improved over last year. The Black Knights allow just 329 yards per game this season. They are particularly adept at stopping the passing game. One of the biggest problems they had is that they struggle to keep opponents out of the end zone.

In order to win a game like this one, the Army defense will need to force the Fighting Irish to settle for three points on some of their drives.

Notre Dame

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish haven’t had the season they were looking for thus far. Brian Kelly’s first year as coach at Notre Dame has been pretty rocky. In fairness, injuries haven’t helped their cause.

This is a game Notre Dame needs to win to become bowl eligible.

Starting quarterback Dayne Crist is out for the season with a broken leg. Starting tailback Armando Allen is also out indefinitely. Tommy Rees is now the signal caller for Notre Dame, and he has done a fairly good job in the system as well. Rees is completing 63% of his passes and has seven touchdown passes already. Cierre Wood has gotten increased playing time at the running back spot, and the youngster has shown quite a bit of talent. Michael Floyd gives this team a play maker at the wide receiver position.

The Notre Dame defense has been disappointing this season. They are allowing 380 yards per game, and they have been poor against both the run and the pass. They know they are up against an Army team that is going to run the ball almost every time, so it will be up to the defensive front to hold their own in this game.

Expect Notre Dame to do put eight or nine in the box every single play in this game.

The Pick:

Army’s defense is much better than last year, but they still won’t be able to shut down Notre Dame. At the same time, Notre Dame doesn’t appear to be the type of team that can stop the run even when they know it is coming. I expect plenty of points in Yankee Stadium this weekend. I like the over.

Army vs. Notre Dame Score Prediction: Notre Dame 31 Army 27

Neat idea to put this game in Yankee Stadium. It kind of feels like we woke up and it’s 1950 all over again.
