2018 Army Black Knights Predictions: Team Strengths
Triple Option : The triple option is just a hard thing for teams to prepare for, and last year it was option all the time for the Black Knights.
They only threw the ball 65 times, and that didn’t seem to matter as teams still couldn’t figure out a way to slow down the attack.
Bradshaw the quarterback from last year is gone, but the other top runners are back, and the option is an offense that they can just plug in someone and go.
Look for them to maybe try and throw the ball a little more, but I wouldn’t expect much of that this year since it worked so well last year.

Passing isn’t going to be a strength, but with the way they run the ball, it shouldn’t matter because they are going to be good on the ground.
Respectable Defense: The big difference between last years team and the years previous was that the defense was actually respectable.
They gave up only 22 points per game, and if they can do something similar to that this year, they should have no issues taking even another step forward.
2018 Army Black Knights Predictions: Team Weaknesses
Can’t Comeback: The one thing that this Black Knights team can’t do is fall behind. With not much of a pass game, it’s very hard to come back when they fall behind.
They have to keep games close, so that the triple option can still be run. If they fall behind they mine as well fold especially late in games, because chances are they aren’t coming back.

Independent: Being an independent their schedule can only take them so far, and they can’t get in the upper tier of teams because of the schedule.
They can still be a good team, but they can’t be a great team this year.
Army Black Knights Prediction: 10-2
The Black Knights have a bunch of cupcakes on the schedule and besides Oklahoma, there is a chance that they could actually run the table.

I think they will lose one more game, but they will finish the season with a 10-2 record and another nice bowl game.
