The Army Black Knights don’t do anything well outside of running the ball, and it hasn’t translated to much winning. The Troy Trojans are quietly one of the hotter teams in the country with one of the better defenses. Troy is 25th in total defense, 21st in rush defense and 12th in scoring defense. A one dimensional offense like Army will have its hands full. I’ll lay the points with the Trojans.
