When you coach Army, you have two primary goals: beat Navy and win the Commander-in-Chief Trophy.

Jeff Monken has built something special at West Point. They are better than Navy as well as the Air Force Academy.

There’s an early-September game against Michigan and the Black Knights have what it takes to pull off the upset. If they pull off the upset, the Black Knights will have every opportunity to go undefeated for the first time since 1958.
