I would love to see Army go on a run. If defense truly does win championships then Army definitely has a chance...
I would as well, but you probably don't want to assume they will beat Lehigh first.
Army should have beaten Cuse earlier this year. They had them on the ropes. That would have really helped their case for an at large if they lose to Lehigh. Army's achille's heel for the NCAA should they make it is FO; their defense is great, but you just can't play an entire game defending against better and better offenses. At some stage, your legs will give in, as waves of fresh middies and attack keep coming at you...PSU would IMO destroy Army.
The good news for the Patriot is they might get two teams in now, but that assumes Loyola makes it as an at large bid, which still is no sure thing.
Most of us will pull for Army now, but Lehigh will be a super tough out for them...Gaffney is likely to go close to 100% against Army. That'll be a lot of defense for Army in two days.
