Kickoff for the Army vs. Air Force game is set for noon ET on Saturday, November 2, at Michie Stadium in West Point, New York.
Here are some details that you need to know:
The Army Black Knights (7-0) head into their matchup against the Air Force Falcons with momentum, standing as a top contender in the AAC and a Group of Five playoff hopeful. Following a 45-28 victory over East Carolina, the Army showcases a balanced offense led by quarterback Bryson Daily.
The ground attack is further supported by running backs Kanye Udoh and Noah Short, while linebacker Brett Gerena and defensive back Casey Larkin lead the Black Knights defense.
On the other hand, the Air Force (1-6) faces a tough battle with a recent 21-13 loss to Colorado State. Quarterback John Busha and wide receiver Cade Harris lead the offense. On defense, DB Jamari Bellamy and LB Osaro Aihie will be crucial in containing the Army’s offense.
What to expect in the Army vs. Air Force?
The Army’s undefeated season makes this game especially critical, as they are one of only eight remaining undefeated teams in college football. Their powerful offense, driven by Daily’s rushing and passing abilities, positions them as a significant threat.
The Air Force’s struggles this season, including its nation-low passing and scoring production, add to its underdog status. However, with Cade Harris as a versatile contributor, the Falcons are set to bring a unique style to this clash. A win would give them a boost after their difficult season and would be a highlight in their longstanding rivalry with the Army.
The game also marks the return of the matchup to an academy’s home field for the first time since 2020, a fitting venue for two teams that honor the military tradition.
