Louisiana Tech, thank you for stepping up and playing this game on short notice. Good luck to your program in the future. Great job Army on the Top 25 ranking.

[@sssquirrely]

Who was supposed to play

[@bryantsherman503]

@sssquirrely Marshall, their coach left and they had a significant number of players leave the program.

Army needed better competition for a bowl game. Ranked #22 playing an unranked 5-7 team. Army could have exploited LT D if they would have utilized the passing game better.

@whitebird357 What I heard happened was the team who was supposed to go against Army was a 8-4 team (Marshall) and then ended up opting out the last day they could from the bowl game. I don't know why, but they had to have someone else take their place and just two years ago LTU was actually a solid defensive team and now look how far they've fallen.

In my personal opinion this is why FBS needs to play an FCS or division 2 style playoff system because I love to see a team like Army play a bigger brand school now of course you'll have a bunch of people in my comments saying they would get blown out and nine times out of 10 you could be right but the opportunity of that one time they could win is what makes Sports interesting I think if your record is good enough within reason you should be in the mix just like college basketball you could be from a No Name school if you have a good enough record you have a great chance of making it in the tournament
