Army needed this one if the Black Knights want to go to a bowl game this year. It was as much of a cupcake as Army is going to get this season. The win was made easier when North Texas had to turn to its third-string quarterback in the second quarter after the Mean Green lost second-string quarterback Derek Thompson to a broken leg. Army starting quarterback Trent Steelman rushed for 68 yards and one touchdown. From the beginning, Army dominated the first half going back into the locker room with a 14-0 lead. North Texas’ offense was meager at…
Most Army fans — not to mention the players and coaches — are probably still in a deep funk after the Black Knights blew it in the final minute against Hawaii.

Army coach Rich Ellerson faced his alma mater Saturday at West Point when Hawaii, the school where Ellerson also got his coaching start, made the absurdly long trip for a 1 p.m. game at West Point.

PHILADELPHIA — Army senior wide receiver Alejandro Vilanueva stands 10 inches taller than his freshman quarterback. The senior is training to lead an infantry unit after he graduates this spring. The freshman looks as if he just earned his driver’s license. Yet neither could hide the disappointment each shared behind their smudged eye black following another loss to Navy. It was Army’s eighth consecutive loss to its traditional rival. However, in a game that had turned into an annual rout with Navy outscoring Army 291-74 in those first seven wins, Army showed a pulse. “It kind of takes away from…
