I guess you go with the five who’s got you here, but Batch has been hurting more than helping.

Tough first 65 minutes of the season for Batch.

There’s no such things as “Patriot League” refs.

A great, old school defensive struggle. Both defenses controlled the game. Which is refreshing. As an aside...was at the game. Every college football fan in the country should at one point go to a game at West Point. I've been to SEC, Big Ten, ACC games....Michie is by far the best and most fulfilling atmosphere in the nation. Yes. Sports Illustrated called Michie the third best sports venue during a ranking they did years ago. That place is magical.

Cooley concerned we may be playing a little too rough. He still has nightmares when AVB beat up Craig Smith…

Defense was absolutely fantastic today. What a job by those guys up front to largely neutralize Army’s running attack.
Sluka, for as talented and great as he is, made some poor decisions today that ultimately did us in. I’d love to see what the game looked like had we decided to pass 30+ times…I think our skill guys in space (Coker, Shorter, Purdy, Shipman) would have beaten their guys.

Tough loss....guys played great....kudos to our D minus Dobbs. It is what is ultimately.....would rather play Army and BC and lose than play some directional state school in the FCS playoffs. Maybe I'm old school...stay off my lawn!!! Coulda done both!

Fordham with a glimmer of hope.
24-16 with 3:24 left.
Some kicking problems with Fordham with a missed PAT.

An admirable effort by our guys today.
Disappointing that we left some points on the field today. And we “gave” Army a touchdown.
Monday morning quarterbacking already…would we have been better off slinging the ball around the field all day?

The unfortunate thing is that we’ve outplayed Army today.
The difference is we are minus three in turnovers (counting the blocked punt).

STUPID STUPID STUPID BY COKER. That is so incredible dumb and inexcusable.
So now do we on side kick or kick it deep?

Running out of bounds for a loss of one rather than throwing out of bounds just burned 30 seconds.
That’s inexcusable.

It’s time to spread out Army and start throwing the ball around the field. 8 yard Sluka runs don’t work anymore.

There is such a thing as targeting by the offensive player. If anything, that’s targeting on Robinson from Army.

Unfortunate mental mistake by Springer.
We were about to get the ball back.
Now Army has the ball at out 35 or so.
Need to force a turnover. Any points and it’s game over.

This has all the makings of a ten minute 99 yard drive by Army. You love when the intentional message board jinx works.

That play was telegraphed. Could see it coming presnap. Yup. It was still there though if thrown over his right shoulder.

Going shotgun and dancing around in the backfield when you need a foot will never make sense to me.

Can’t ask much more out of the defense.
Time for Sluka to pick them up…

Both incredibly fortunate to only be down 14-0. But, also should be closer. Essentially three turnovers in the Army end of the field (fumble, interception, blocked punt).

Media time out, we still have two time outs in Chesney's pocket. Nope. One timeout.

That was a damn impressive goal line stand.
Let’s hope that gets our guys refocused for the next 32 minutes.
