Domination.......That's the only way to describe what Army did to Air Force Saturday in West Point. Their 41-21 win was not that close. The Black Knights played their best game of the year, mauling the Falcons in every department, including coaching. That will happen once in a while, but what was so perplexing is why this game? Air Force had so much to play for, with bowl eligibility sealed with a victory. Instead Army came out with urgency and took the Falcons to the woodshed. Its a reminder that when service academies meet it doesn't matter what the records are. If Army plays that way against Navy in early December, the Black Knights will have the Commander in Chiefs trophy for the first time in forever.
It was a long plane ride home for the team. And the loss begs the question? Can Air Force recover from it? Its the first time since 2005 they lost to both Army and Navy in the same year. And there is so much to play for, because the Falcons are still in the thick of the Mountain West conference race, thanks to San Diego States win Boise St. Saturday night. The Falcons play at San Diego this weekend. More on that game later this week.
