The HISTORIC RISE of Navy & Army Football (Both Are Undefeated Still)

Army and Navy football have both had their moments in their programs history, but both are rarely good at the same time. In 2024, both the Midshipmen and the Black Knights are undefeated and could be on the path to the most insane Army Navy game we have seen in decades. But how did these two programs get to this point? Today let’s talk about the rise of both Army and Navy football and what could happen the rest of 2024, enjoy!

Just throwing this one out there because I recently saw this, but Miami’s equipment truck wasn’t even halfway to Berkeley for Saturdays game as of Wednesday afternoon. Maybe do a video about the logistics that come with conference realignment and the distances they travel now.

Very fitting the Army runs the ground pounding triple option offense. Also...when Army, Navy come together, it's the best looking football game of the year without question.

[@jeremiahtisdell4823]

Yeah, nah, give me a BIG12/ Pac12 after dark style shootout that ends looking like a basketball score

[@davidwehrle835]

Amen! I look forward to Army Navy every year. Of course, each of the three military academy matchups is special football.

[@admiraltiberius1989]

@jeremiahtisdell4823 I'm a Stanford fan and boy i miss those 2010 to 2015 golden years. Mike Leech refusing to run the ball, having his QB throw it 75 times.

[@the1magageneral323]

I want Army to beat a ranked Notre Dame because they will have a rivalry again.

[@Kyle-p2]

Notre Dame and Army were never Rivals. Navy and Notre Dame are already rivals no one cares about army. Navy is way more historic

[@matthewthompson9632]

Kind of surprised he had army and navy both losing to Notre Dame I mean Notre Dame already lost to Northern Illinois they could easily lose to one or both of them hope they do to

[@MORONIC_official]

Imagine if Army and Navy are both undefeated by week 14 in the rivalry game. Notre Dame is going to be tough though.

[@treybryant1842]

I kinda have to agree with you there. But, if Army and Navy can both beat Notre Dame, this will be history. And, for me, I’ve got connections to both Army and Navy. My grandfather on my Dad’s side, who I call Grandpa, served in the Army in the Medical Branch from 1966 to 1969. My brother-in-law, who I would call my brother since I have two older sisters, currently serves in the Navy.

[@Cooljohn760]

This year Army-Navy game will really be something to watch this year both are currently undefeated.

There’s a legitimate outside shot the Army vs Navy game this year could have playoff implications for the first time ever. Depending on what happens

[@the1magageneral323]

The best win of Army recently is the 2018 Bowl game Army vs Houston. Great defensive battle.

Would love to see either of these teams throw a "wrench into the CFB playoff machine"

[@ricklopez8431]

Both teams are 5-0 now, Navy beat Air Force 34-7 and Army defeated Tulsa 49-7

[@JoeCab]

They won’t get any players from the transfer portal. But it can work to their advantage. The coaches keep and develop the same players in their program. Other teams in their conference will have new players every year that have to face the triple option offense. An offense they haven’t seen since maybe junior high or never seen at all.

[@phanthomboy3]

Yeah the academies are a headache to prepare for. Of course every week is a new game plan but preparing for the triple option is so different then what a defense typically sees. They're Almost throwing out the usual playbook for a one-week special defense.

Notre Dame was heavily criticized pre-season for having both Navy and Army on their schedule. We're not hearing that now. And neither game will be played at ND.

[@Scott-ph2yk]

A few minor comments... The Army team is historically referred to as The Cadets, and since 2000 or so as The Black Knights. The 1960's were not good years. Army's last great season was 1958. The season was chronicled in the great book, "When Saturday Still Mattered". Army did not run the triple option offense until 1983 when Jim Young was hired as the coach. Prior to 1983, they ran a variety of offenses that were not effective. In 1999, then AD, Rick Greenspan fired coach Sutton, then hired his friend Todd Berry to coach the team. Berry installed a pro set passing offense, scrapping the triple option. The results were disastrous. Losing seasons. Berry was fired. Greenspan Ieft. Army was bad, bad, bad. Ellerson was hired as the coach in 2008. He brought back triple option football, won some, but he could not beat Navy. Ellerson was fired, replaced by Monken. From Day 1, Monken changed the culture of Army football, with the support of the AD, Boo Corrigan. LOSING IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE AT ARMY. NO EXCUSES. Coach Monken is the real deal. Always looking to improve the program, while still maintaining the USMA standards for Cadets. The teams got better. Guys wanted to play at Army. The transfer portal has hurt other teams, but not Army. They build teams, they cannot recruit out of the portal. As a long time Army fan, this is a special time for Army and the other service academies. Beat Navy! Hell, Beat them All!

[@chrisowen3264]

Ok first off let me say I think it’s cool both teams are good and their style of play makes them a tough out for teams but neither team has played a good opponent. They get into the meat of their schedule now so we’ll see if they’re legit or not.
