I agree.

We've always struggled defensively, and yes, Army would eat us alive.

However, Army has not seen an EMU defense as good as we've had the last two years, and, of course, especially this year.

Maybe E'Tough can help us, but when Army wants to go wide, I believe we have the DEs who can go to the sidelines against them. Ditto when they go up the middle, they'll have trouble with our DTs.

In many respects, this game is a CLASSIC match-up of a very good running attack and a very good run defense.
