Query: when was the last time (have we evah) we beat a team that won a bowl game that same season? i don't know without checking/researching. Great question. Quick research found nothing, Never beat Penn State 0-9. They played in bowls. Beat Syracuse in 58 they lost in the Orange Bowl. Lost 7-6 to Quantico Marines who won a bowl in 1963 Beat BC 1942 they lost he Bowl.

In 1963 BC was 6-2 entering the HC finale. Jon Morris led an upset 9-0 win, making sure BC would not go bowling. Both teams played only 9 games because of the JFK shooting

Did Army play in or win a bowl in '86?
Air Force in 1978?
Prior to 1980 or so, it was really hard to get into a bowl game, because they just weren't many bowls. Even up until tbe early 2000s you had to WIN the MAC to get into a bowl game.
So back in the good old days, if HC beat a bowl team, it means they would've had to beat a likely Top 15-20 team or a major college conference champion.
And in more modern times, there just haven't been many opportunities since we didn't start playing FBS teams again until 2017. We did beat Army in 2002, however that was likely the worst football team in West Point history.

That win in 1958 made Holy Cross the last team to beat Syracuse before they went on to be undefeated national champions in 1959, and beat Texas, 23-14, in the 1960 New Years Day Cotton Bowl.

As you would say "Merci" !!! This kid is a special running back. Something about him reminds me of a kid who played back in the 70's.

We did beat Army in 2002, however that was likely the worst football team in West Point history. The '85 Army team went to and won a bowl I believe (Illinois)....the "86 team didn't go bowling I believe. The Bill Parcells led Falcons went 3-8 or so in '78...no bowl obviously....they did beat BC as did we and everyone else on the Eagles schedule that season. I think if the answer exists, it has to be a team/opponent from the 1920s to the 1950s. ETA: just schecked, it was Illinois not Michigan State the 85 Army team beat. Interestingly, imo the '86 Army may have been just as good. The 85 team went 9-3 but came in last place in the CiC standings, losing to both Air Force and Navy as well as Notre Dame. Their 85 schedule was a bit soft in general. We actually played them fairly tough that year, the final (12-34) isn't really indicative of how competitive that game was. The 86 Army team had beaten Tennessee in Knoxville the week before we beat them in Michie.

What about that Orange Bowl loss referred to that bold printed sentence ? Not sure I understand the question. I was just noting that even tho' SU lost the Orange Bowl after the '58 season, we were the last team to beat Syracuse before they went on to be undefeated national champions in 1959, and beat Texas, 23-14, in the 1960 New Years Day Cotton Bowl.

In the post you referenced by crossisback, he says we beat Cuse in 58, but then they lost in the Orange Bowl, One of you is incorrect

Chu Chu -- Am I remembering correctly that you, as a young lad, attended the 1958 game between HC and Syracuse? If I understand the statements in this thread, HC was the last team to beat Syracuse during the regular season before Syracuse went undefeated in 1959 and then beat Texas in the 1960 Cotton Bowl.
