“I WANT AN OFFICER FOR A SECRET AND DANGEROUS MISSION … I WANT A WEST POINT FOOTBALL PLAYER.” The wording on a bronze plaque plaque, placed near the southeast corner of Michie Stadium, has been recognized over the years as a splendid compliment, not only to West Point, but also to the long line of West Point football players ... a unique breed, indeed. There will be more missions ahead for the soldiers of the U.S. Army, and they will accept and fulfill them to the best of their ability. But seldom will any guidance g uid dance be be as as specifi specific as as it it was was during during World World War War II, when when Gen. George George C. C. Marshall Marshall said: said:
“I WANT A WEST POINT FOOTBALL PLAYER.” It was only an ordinary statement made during the busy, everyday activities at the Pentagon; but it was a remark that came at a very crucial period of World War II, and one that was destined to join other well-remembered phrases which at a particular time supplied the needed inspiration to accomplish a task. Gen. George C. Marshall, then-Chief of Staff for the U.S. Army, needed an officer to train and lead a ranger-type battalion on a secret mission. He requested the Secretary of the General Staff to obtain this officer. Little did the famous Virginia Military Institute graduate realize, but he was furnishing the words that later were to become of utmost importance to the U.S. Military Academy. His orders were simple and concise.

2010 BELL HELICOPTER ARMED FORCES BOWL
ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS (6-6) VS. SMU MUSTANGS (7-6, 6-3 C-USA) Army Returns To Postseason For First Time Since 1996 • Army is back in the bowl picture for the first time since 1996. The Black Knights earned a berth in the 2010 Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl thanks to a 6-6 regular season, the program’s highest win total since that 1996 squad posted a 10-2 record and played in the Independence Bowl. • The 2010 season marks the first time all three service academies will participate in bowl games. Navy will square off with San Diego State in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 23 and Air Force will meet Georgia Tech in the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl on Dec. 27. • The Black Knights enter postseason play with the nation’s 10th-ranked rushing offense. Army is averaging 256.00 yards per game and has cracked the 3,000-yard mark (3,072) for the first time since 1998. • Army’s rushing success has translated into a dramatic increase in scoring. The Black Knights scored 13 rushing touchdowns in 2009, but have found paydirt via the rush 33 times in 2010. Army’s overall touchdown total has jumped from 19 to 41. Army is averaging 27.5 points per game, its highest mark since 1996 (31.8). It is the first time since 2005 that Army has averaged as many as 20.0 points per contest.

• The Black Knights’ triple-option attack has been keyed by a pair of sophomores — QB Trent Steelman and FB Jared Hassin. Hassin leads the team with 931 rushing yards and ranks second with nine rushing touchdowns. He is averaging 5.4 yards per carry. Steelman is next on the list with 694 yards and a team-high 11 rushing touchdowns. The duo’s 1,625 combined yards place them 11th on the Army all-time rushing duo chart. • Steelman has also been effective through the air, completing 54.8 percent of his throws (69-126) for 965 yards, seven touchdowns and only three interceptions. If he can throw for 35 yards against the Mustangs, he will become the first Army player to rush for 500or-more yards and throw for 1,000-or-more yards in the same season. His 1,659 yards of total offense rank eighth on the Army single-season ledger. His 3,002 yards through 23 career games already ranks 10th all-time in Army history. • Defensively, the Black Knights rank 26th in the nation in total defense (332.0). Army is seventh in the country in turnover margin (+1.08/game). Senior LB Stephen Anderson leads the team with 94 tackles, while senior DE Josh McNary boasts 9.5 sacks and 12.0 tackles for loss.

In his role, Homme commands approximately 1,000 cadets in the 2nd Regiment. • Homme took over the Black Knights’ long-snapping duties last season and has been the triggerman on each of Army’s punts, field goals and PATs since. • Homme will graduate in May with a double major of mathematical sciences and American history. He owns a 3.9 grade point average and is a semifinalist for the National Football Foundation’s William V. Campbell Trophy. • Senior LB Kingsley Ehie has been chosen the Deputy Brigade S6. In his duties, Ehie assists with the computer and technology needs of the Corps. Ehie is majoring in information technology.
HAVEN’T WE MET BEFORE? • The 2010 Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl could double as a college reunion for the head coaches. The relationship between Army boss Rich Ellerson and SMU mentor June Jones dates back to their playing days at the University of Hawai’i. Both players lettered for the Warriors in 1974. Jones was a quarterback while Ellerson played both center and linebacker during his undergraduate days. • The two met again as coaches at Hawai’i during the 1983 season when Ellerson was a defensive and special teams assistant and Jones was a member of the offensive staff. • Army whip linebackers coach Robert Lyles is also familiar with Jones. Lyles played for the Houston Oilers from 1984-89 during which time Jones served as an assistant (1987-88).
CLOSE TIES • Bell Helicopter CEO John Garrison (#53 below) is a 1982 graduate of the U.S. Miltary Academy. Garrison was a four-year letterwinner at linebacker for the Black Knights from 1978-81

U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY THE PREMIER LEADER DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTION IN AMERICA
The mission of the U U.S. S Military Academy is to educate, educate train, train and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an officer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the Nation. Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its Bicentennial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington considered West Point to be the most strategic position in America. He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifications in 1778 after problems arose with French engineers originally placed in charge of the design. In 1779, General Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defensive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffic. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifications. In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the nation’s first engineering school and served as the model for engineering programs which were eventually established at other colleges. Col. Sylvanus Thayer, the “Father of the Military Academy,” served as Superintendent from 1817 through 1833. He upgraded academic standards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Early graduates were largely responsible for the construction of the nation’s initial railway lines, bridges, harbors, and roads. Although the curriculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the program of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excellence, guided by a demanding standard of moral and ethical conduct, remains the cornerstone of the West Point experience. It is said at West Point that “much of the history we teach was made by those people we taught.” The Academy has produced famous leaders throughout its illustrious past…Civil War Generals Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Jackson, to name but a few. In World War I, 34 of the 38 corps and division commanders were graduates. World War II would see many graduates reach brigadier general or higher, to include Eisenhower, MacArthur, Bradley and Patton. In more recent conflicts, MacArthur, Ridgway, Westmoreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command. Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space exploration, and countless others went on from military service to become leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science. Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfills the same mission as it always has . . . to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. It accomplishes this mission by developing cadets in three essential areas: intellectual, physical and military. These developmental paths are balanced and fully integrated into the daily life of each young man and woman at the Academy.

pro Intellectual growth is fostered through an academic curriculum that provides a broad liberal education in the arts and sciences. The electives program builds upon the foundation of the core, allowing cadets to develop even greater competence in selected areas. In addition, the fields-of-study and majors nurture the development of creativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential characteristics of 21st century officers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army. Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic and physical education program. Each cadet participates at the intercollegiate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and self-discipline, even while under mental and physical stress. Military development begins with the cadet’s first day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training, or Beast Barracks, their first year, followed the second summer by Cadet Field Training. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in active Army units around the world; attending specialty training such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare or helping to train the first- and second-year cadets. The Cadet Leader Development System seeks to give the cadets increasing responsibility until they are ready to receive their commissions and assume their duties as leaders in today’s Army. Moral and ethical values guide cadets throughout their four years at West Point. Commitment to the Academy’s “Bedrock Values,” based on integrity and respect for the dignity of others, begins on the first day. Integrity is reflected in the Cadet Honor Code which states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” Respect denotes that cadets treat others with the same respect and dignity they themselves would expect. At West Point, it is not enough to train leaders—they must be leaders of character. Admission is keenly competitive and is open to young men and women from all states and territories and from every socioeconomic level. Prospective cadets must receive a nomination by a member of Congress or from the Department of the Army. The Academy seeks candidates who possess records of success in academics, athletics and leadership indicative of well-rounded individuals. Although the life of a cadet is demanding, there remains an array of club activities ranging from golf, skiing, boxing, crew and orienteering to such organizations as the cadet radio station, Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers-Big Sisters. Additionally, the U.S. Corps of Cadets hosts a Special Olympics event each spring. Today’s Military Academy is a vastly different institution from the small academy legislated into being by Congress in 1802. Originally just 1,800 acres, the Academy has grown to more than 16,000 acres. The first graduating class numbered just two men; today’s classes graduate more than 900 new officers annually, both men and women, who are prepared for leadership roles within the Army. With the expansion of knowledge and the changing needs of the United States Army and the nation, life at West Point has changed to keep pace. Ever mindful of its rich heritage, the U.S. Military Academy is developing leaders for tomorrow, and its focus remains the national needs of the 21st century.

HEAD COACH RICH ELLERSON ELLERSON YEAR-BY-YEAR
HEAD COACH RICH ELLERSON
YEAR 1996
HAWAI’I, 1977 2ND SEASON AT ARMY (11-13, .458) 11TH SEASON OVERALL (71-54, .568) West Point’s leadership took a major step towards restoring its football program to national prominence by luring one of the top coaches in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) ranks, Rich Ellerson, to lead the Black Knights’ in late December 2008. One of the nation’s true triple-option experts, Ellerson agreed to become Army’s 36th head football coach on Dec. 26, 2008. Ellerson is a veteran of nearly 30 years of coaching on the collegiate ranks, including eight as head coach at Cal Poly prior to his arrival at West Point. Not regarded as a traditional FCS power prior to Ellerson’s arrival in 2001, Cal Poly finished each of his last four years ranked in the Top 25 of national FCS polls. The Mustangs won at least seven games during each of Ellerson’s last six seasons at the helm and spent the majority of the 2008 season ranked in the top 10 of both the FCS Coaches Top 25 Poll and The Sports Network Division I-AA Poll. Cal Poly was ranked No. 3 in the FCS Coaches Poll for the final seven weeks of the regular season (and the last four weeks of The Sports Network Poll) before they were upset in the first round of the FCS playoffs by Weber State on Nov. 29. Before Ellerson’s arrival, the Mustangs had not fashioned a winning season since 1997 and had enjoyed only three winning years since 1990. It didn’t take long for Ellerson to put the Black Knights back on the path back to success. In just his second season, Ellerson guided the Black Knights to its first postseason appearance since 1996. Army’s 6-6 regular-season record marked the program’s highest win total since that same
12
1996 campaign. The Black Knights continued to develop in Ellerson’s offensive and defensive systems, finishing the regular season ranked 10th in the nation in rushing (256.0 yards/game). Army’s scoring averaged jumped more than 12 points per game in his second year, and the team more than doubled its touchdown total from 2009 season. Ellerson was recognized for the Black Knights’ success as one of 10 finalists for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award. In his first season on the banks of the Hudson, he led the squad to a 5-7 record, coming just one win shy of Army’s first bowl berth since the 1996 Independence Bowl. It took little time for Ellerson’s triple-option offense and double-eagle flex defense to prove their effectiveness. Army finished the 2009 season ranked 16th in the nation in rushing offense (203.6 yards per game) and 16th in the NCAA in total defense (304.7 yards per game). Ellerson was named NCAA Division I-AA Independents Coach of the Year in 2003 and a year later was honored as Great West Football Conference Coach of the Year as well as AFCA Region 5 Coach of the Year. Prior to his selection as Cal Poly’s 15th head football coach on Dec. 6, 2000, Ellerson served as the defensive coordinator at Arizona, holding that title from 1997 to 2000. It marked a return stint in Tucson for the highly regarded mentor. Ellerson assumed duties as the Wildcats’ assistant head coach, while overseeing Arizona’s defensive line and special teams during his first stay in the desert from 1992 to 1995. It was at that time that he first became associated with legendary former Army head coach Jim Young, who had retired as the Black Knights’ mentor following the 1990 season and assumed a volunteer role on Dick Tomey’s UA staff. Ellerson also assisted then-Army head coach Bob

Cal Poly closed his final year at the helm 8-3 and ranked No. 8 in the FCS Coaches Poll and No. 10 in The Sports Network Poll. In two of their most memorable performances of 2008, the Mustangs posted a 29-27 victory over Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) member San Diego State at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego on Aug. 30 and suffered a heartbreaking 36-35 overtime loss to Big 10 Conference member Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wis., on Nov. 22. In guiding the Mustangs to a fourth consecutive year-ending Top 25 national ranking, Ellerson earned his third Great West Football Conference Coach of the Year honor and finished second in the balloting for the Eddie Robinson Award, which is presented annually to the FCS coach of the year by The Sports Network. His team committed a total of just six turnovers through its 10 regular-season games in 2008 and listed 97th in the final Sagarin Ratings, ahead of such FBS schools as Memphis, Syracuse, Iowa State, Indiana, Washington and Washington State. Cal Poly captured three Great West Football Conference championships, claimed a pair of NCAA Division I-AA playoff berths and registered 48 wins in its last 70 games under Ellerson’s direction. The Mustangs’ had a streak of six consecutive winning seasons, marking their longest span since ripping off 13 straight winning records from 1968 to 1980. Under Ellerson, Cal Poly captured three victories in its last eight games against FBS opponents, notching wins against Texas El-Paso and San Diego State (twice), while falling in overtime to Wisconsin. Employing an aggressive defensive set and an
WWW.GOARMYSPORTS.COM
2010 BELL HELICOPTER ARMED FORCES BOWL explosive triple-option offensive attack, Ellerson compiled a 56-34 record (.622) in eight seasons at the Cal Poly helm. The Mustangs posted a 48-22 record (.686) in their final 70 games under Ellerson dating back to the 2002 campaign. The Mustangs’ vaunted triple-option offense experienced unparalleled success in 2008, establishing school records for first downs (262), first downs rushing (162), points scored (488) and touchdowns (67). Cal Poly piled up at least 49 points in six of 11 contests, topped the 50-point barrier three times and registered a season-high 69 points in a home defeat of Southern Utah. In all, Cal Poly scored in 41 of their 44 quarters of action. The Mustangs finished the season ranked first nationally in both total offense (487.45) and scoring offense (44.36), second in pass efficiency (167.72) and third in rushing offense (306.45). Under Ellerson’s direction, the Mustangs won 18 of their last 30 games on the road and 30 of their last 36 home contests. They posted six shutouts during Ellerson’s eight years as head coach and did not get shut out during that same time. In all, nine Mustangs earned Sports Network All-America honors, including several players twice, and three earned Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America honors under Ellerson. Cal Poly has had a player in the East-West Shrine Game four of his last five years. Since becoming an inaugural member of the Great West Football Conference in 2004, Cal Poly had 40 players named to the all-conference first team under Ellerson’s watch. Among the standout players coached by Ellerson during his tenure at Cal Poly is “big-play” wide receiver Ramses Barden, who registered 67 catches for 1,257 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2008 en route to becoming the school’s career leader in all three categories (206 receptions, 4,203 yards and 50 touchdown catches). Barden recorded at least one touchdown reception in his final 20 contests, surpassing Jerry Rice’s NCAA FCS mark and Larry Fitzgerald’s all-time NCAA record. Barden caught a touchdown pass in 32 of his 46 games for the Mustangs, six more than Rice’s NCAA standard and five more than Ryan Yarborough’s all-time NCAA mark. He was a three-time first team All-Great West Football Conference selection and was the fifth Mustang in 55 years to play in the East-West Shrine Game. Barden was selected in the third round of the National League Football Draft in April, equaling Cal Poly’s highest NFL draft pick ever. While Ellerson has built a solid reputation as an innovative offensive mind, he garnered national acclaim as a defensive trend-setter in the 1990s at the University of Arizona when he created the pressure, gap-control “Desert Swarm” defensive scheme. Ellerson left Arizona briefly, accepting his first head coaching assignment at Southern Utah University in 1996. He returned to Arizona as the Wildcats’ defensive coordinator one year later after helping Southern Utah to a 4-7 record and a national rushing title during his only year in control of the Thunderbirds. Southern Utah managed just two victories the previous season. During his initial stay in Tucson, Ellerson served as an assistant to defensive coordinator Larry MacDuff. The Wildcats’ defensive system ranked second nationally against the run in 1992 and 1993. Arizona ranked in the top 10 nationally in

Southern Utah University, 1996 Head Coach (4-7) total defense during all four of those years. He also helped improve Arizona’s special teams play and coached placekicker Steve McLaughlin to the Lou Groza Award in 1994. He capped his second Tucson tenure in 2000 by helping the Wildcats to a No. 8 national ranking in rushing defense (88.5 yards per game). The Wildcats also ranked second in the Pac 10 Conference in total defense (317.5) and takeaways (33). Among the players Ellerson tutored at Arizona were future NFL stalwarts Ted Bruschi and Chris McAllister. The Wildcats combined to earn five postseason bowl berths during his two stays at Arizona (spanning eight years). Ellerson spent four years as a member of the University of Hawai’i football program during his undergraduate days, splitting time between the center and linebacker positions. He graduated from UH in 1977 and began his coaching career at his alma mater as a graduate assistant during Tomey’s first season as head coach in 1977. The Tucson, Ariz., native went on to serve one-year stints as secondary coach at Arizona Western College in 1978, linebackers and special teams coach at the University of Idaho in 1979, and defensive line and special teams mentor at Cal State Fullerton in 1980. He returned to Hawai’i for the second of his three coaching stints, tutoring the Warriors’ defensive line, outside linebackers and special teams from 1981 to 1983. Ellerson moved on to the professional ranks for the next three years, heading to the Canadian Football League. He served as defensive line coach for the British Columbia Lions from 1984 to 1985, helping to lead the Lions to a Grey Cup championship in 1985. He became defensive coordinator for the Calgary Stampeders in 1986 before accepting
a similar role at Hawai’i during a third assignment with his alma mater. As defensive coordinator at Hawai’i from 1987 to 1991, Ellerson was teamed with a young triple-option guru named Paul Johnson, who served as the Warriors’ offensive coordinator at the time. Johnson would go on to experience highly successful head coaching terms at Georgia Southern, Navy and, most recently, Georgia Tech. Ken Niumatalolo, currently serving as head coach at Navy, lettered three times at quarterback (1987-89), and Ivin Jasper, presently the Mids’ offensive coordinator, lettered three times at quarterback and slotback (199193) for Hawai’i during that time. Ellerson became intimately familiar with the triple-option ingenuity of Johnson during those years. He would successfully install the high-powered system at Southern Utah and Cal Poly in the years that followed. The son of a career U.S. Army officer, the Black Knights’ head football coach possesses strong ties to West Point, despite spending the majority of his life on the West Coast. While his father, Col. (Ret.) Geoffrey Ellerson, graduated from the Military Academy in 1935, his oldest brother, Maj. Gen. (Ret.) John, lettered for three years on Army’s football team and served as team captain for head coach Paul Dietzel’s Black Knights in 1962. His other brother, Col. (Ret.) Geoffrey D. Ellerson Jr., also graduated from West Point in 1963, and his nephew, Geoffrey Ellerson III, is an Army Colonel who has served in Iraq. Ellerson, who turns 57 on New Year’s Day, was born on Jan. 1, 1954, in Yokohama, Japan, while his father was stationed there. He graduated from Tucson’s Salpointe High in 1972. He and his wife, Dawn, have four children: Sean, 31, Shea, 27, Leta, 24, and Andrew, 17, and one granddaughter, Betty, 1.

ASSISTANT COACHES ANDY GUYADER WIDE RECEIVERS 2ND SEASON AT ARMY CAL POLY, 1997 Andy Guyader arrived at West Point as a member of Rich Ellerson’s original Army staff in January 2009. A graduate of Cal Poly who lettered at quarterback for the Mustangs between 1992 and 1996, Guyader spent the previous five years on the staff at his alma mater. He mentored the Mustangs’ wide receivers for five years, while also coaching Cal Poly’s slotbacks during his last two seasons. He had been assigned the responsibility of both positions prior to the 2007 season and works with the wide receivers at West Point. Guyader performed one of the top teaching jobs in the country in 2009, playing a key role in the conversion of 6-10 Alejandro Villanueva from offensive tackle to receiver. Despite just a few weeks of spring drills and the preseason at the position, Villanueva finished the 2009 season as Army’s leader in both receptions (34) and receiving yards (522). He was on the receiving end of all five of the Black Knights’ touchdown passes. Prior to arriving at West Point, Guyader was directly responsible for four of the six possible yardage-gainers on any play from scrimmage in Cal Poly’s highpowered triple-option attack. He originally returned to Cal Poly as an offensive assistant in 2004, working with the offensive line and had been the wide receiver coach since 2005 before joining Ellerson at West Point. Among the standout receivers tutored by Guyader were Ramses Barden, who earned multiple All-America citations in 2008, and Tre’Dale Tolver, another allleague performer. Barden, in particular, authored an eye-popping career under Guyader’s teachings, finishing fourth in balloting for the Walter Payton Award in 2008. The honor is presented annually by The Sports Network to the top offensive player in the NCAA’s Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Barden completed his Cal Poly career with 206 catches for 4,203 yards and 50 touchdowns, all school records. He also owns the NCAA record for most consecutive games with a touchdown catch, both in the FCS and all-time (20) as well as most career games with a touchdown catch in the FCS and all-time (32). He ranks No. 13 all-time with 50 career touchdown receptions as well. He caught a pass in 44 of 46 games played as a Mustang and posted 16 career 100-yard receiving games, both school records. Barden was selected by the New York Giants with the 85th pick in the 2009 National Football League Draft. During Guyader’s stint at Cal Poly, the Mustangs finished 9-2 in 2004 and 9-4 in 2005, winning the first FCS playoff game in school history. The 2006 and 2007 Cal Poly squads finished with 7-4 records, while the Mustangs spent the majority of the 2008 season ranked in the Top 10 nationally of FCS before falling in the first round of the playoffs and closing at 8-3. In addition to his on-field coaching duties, Guyader filled the role of Cal Poly’s recruiting coordinator for the past five years and had the opportunity to lecture over 40 sections of 10 different courses in both architectural engineering and computer science courses at Cal Poly. Taking advantage of several workshops at Cal Poly’s Center for Teaching and Learning, Guyader was able to implement multiple learner-based teaching techniques. These techniques maximize learner retention and aide in extending and refining knowledge both in the classroom and in position meetings. A backup quarterback and special teams standout during his playing days at Cal Poly, Guyader graduated in 1997, earning a bachelor’s degree in architectural engineering. He went on to study earthquake engineering and structural dynamics at California Institute of Technology and garnered a master’s degree in civil engineering in 1998 and a Ph.D. in civil engineering in 2003. Guyader began his coaching career in 2001, serving a three-year term as offensive coordinator at Pasadena Poly High School. He helped the team to the 2002 CIF championship and a school-record 35.7 points per game in 2003. He is married to the former Brenda McAnulty, also a Cal Poly graduate. In 2007 the couple participated in the Team In Training marathon program, raising over $5,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The couple resides at West Point.

CAPTAIN CLARENCE HOLMES DEFENSIVE TACKLES 8TH SEASON AT ARMY WEST POINT, 2003 One of the finest defensive linemen to pass through Army’s storied grid program, Capt. Clarence Holmes is in his eighth year along the Black Knights’ sideline and enters his seventh season as a full-time staff member. Holmes once again works with Army’s defense this fall, concentrating on the defensive tackles. As a graduate assistant coach in 2003, Holmes was handed a wealth of responsibility midway through the season after then-defensive line coach John Mumford was elevated to interim head coach in October. Through the remainder of the campaign, Holmes worked daily with the Black Knights’ linemen. Holmes was a two-time team captain who lettered in each of his four years in the Black, Gold and Gray. He amassed 121 career tackles while splitting his time between the defensive tackle and defensive end positions. Holmes appeared in 37 games during his Black Knight career, earning starting assignments in 23 outings. The Decatur, Ga., native graduated as Army’s all-time leader in quarterback sacks (11.5) and currently stands second in the program’s annals. Holmes also presently ranks seventh on the program’s career tackles-for-loss leader board (26). His seven sacks in 2001 tied Army’s single-season record. Following graduation, Holmes completed his Field Artillery Officer Basic Course in 2004 before returning to the Academy’s grid staff. Holmes and his wife, Dawn, live in Highland Falls, N.Y., with their two children: daughter, Isabelle, and son, Elijah.

ASSISTANT COACHES ROBERT LYLES WHIP LINEBACKERS 4TH SEASON AT ARMY TCU, 1984 A former standout linebacker at Texas Christian University, Robert Lyles is in his second season working with the Army whip linebackers in head coach Rich Ellerson’s double-eagle flex defense. Lyles spent the previous three seasons teaming with Tony Coaxum in leading the Black Knights’ linebackers. In his first season working in Ellerson’s defensive scheme, Lyles mentored the Black Knights’ leading tackler, Andrew Rodriguez.

GENE McKEEHAN ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH/ OFF. GUARDS/CENTERS 2ND SEASON AT ARMY UTAH STATE, 1968 Gene McKeehan joined Rich Ellerson at West Point in January 2009. McKeehan is no stranger to Ellerson or service academy football. A member of each of Ellerson’s eight coaching staffs at Cal Poly, McKeehan spent six years on the coaching staff at Navy prior to arriving on the West Coast in 2001. McKeehan assumed the duties of coaching Army’s offensive guards and centers for the 2009 campaign, and shoulders duties as the Black Knights’ associate head coach. McKeehan made an immediate impact on the offensive front in his first season. The Black Knights boasted the 16th-best rushing offense in the nation and allowed the third-fewest sacks among the nation’s 120 NCAA FBS squads in 2009. After serving as Cal Poly’s offensive coordinator for three seasons, McKeehan was promoted to associate head coach in February 2004 and moved back to the offensive line in 2007 after handling the Mustangs’ running backs for one year. Appointed to Ellerson’s staff at Cal Poly in 2001, McKeehan helped install a new offensive set for the Mustangs. The new system utilized the spread-option offense, while still maintaining its vaunted passing attack. The Mustangs responded well to the switch, averaging 27.0 points and 210 yards passing per game in 2001, while Cal Poly averaged 28.7 points and 368 yards of total offense per game two years later en route to a 7-4 overall record. The Mustangs allowed just 11 sacks and ranked 35th nationally in total offense (387.18) on their way to a 9-2 record in 2004. Cal Poly ranked 20th nationally in rushing offense (207.38) in 2005 with the offensive front yielding only 15 quarterback sacks. After listing 23rd nationally in rushing offense in 2006, the Mustangs finished No. 2 in the nation in total offense, surpassed the 500-yard mark four times and shattered the school record for most points scored in a season one year later. The Mustangs continued their prolific offensive ways in 2008, establishing four single season school records and closing the year ranked first nationally in both total offense (487.45) and scoring offense (44.36), second in pass efficiency (167.72) and third in rushing offense (306.45). Prior to arriving at Cal Poly, McKeehan served as assistant head coach and offensive line coach at Navy for six seasons (1995-2000). He helped guide a Navy offense that ranked first nationally in rushing offense in 1999 and sixth in 2000. Prior to coaching at Navy, McKeehan was an assistant at Utah State University for 13 seasons (1982-94), serving as offensive coordinator and strength and conditioning coach. A 1968 graduate of Utah State where he lettered at wide receiver and tight end, McKeehan assumed graduate assistant duties at Utah State for two seasons (1971-72). After earning his master’s degree, he coached the offensive line at Wake Forest University for six years (1973-78) and the University of Virginia for two seasons (1978-79). A native of Compton, Calif., McKeehan and his wife Ann Lee have two daughters, Summer and Jamie. Jamie and her husband, Josh Massie, have one son, Gage. The family lives at West Point.

The Black Knights’ defensive line coach starting in the summer of 2000, Mumford assumed duties as Army’s interim head coach for the final seven games of the 2003 campaign. He was named defensive coordinator after Bobby Ross was hired prior to the 2004 season, and served in that role for five years. Overall, Mumford boasts more than three decades worth of coaching experience on the collegiate level. In addition to coordinating the defense, Mumford oversees the Black Knights’ defensive front. Prior to arriving at the Academy, Mumford served as head coach at Southeast Missouri State University from 1990 through 1999. The Lawrence, Kan., native garnered Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year honors in 1994. Mumford filled a one-year term as defensive coordinator at Southeast Missouri in 1989 before accepting the reins as the Indians’ 10th head coach the following season. He arrived at the Cape Girardeau, Mo., school following a seven-year term as an assistant at the University of South Dakota. A 1979 graduate of Pittsburg State University, Mumford lettered three times at tight end for the Gorillas. He began his coaching career the following year, serving a two-year stint as a graduate assistant at the University of Kansas. He was responsible for guiding the Jayhawks’ defensive linemen on both the varsity and junior varsity levels and served as jayvee defensive coordinator.

Saadat mentored the Cal Poly linebackers during the first of his two tours in San Luis Obispo in 1996 and 1997 before returning to Cal Poly as linebackers coach for the 2004 season. He was promoted to full-time assistant status in 2005 and was named the Mustangs’ defensive coordinator in March 2006. He also oversaw Cal Poly’s defensive linemen in 2008. Saadat’s influence over the Army defense was felt immediately. In his first season at West Point, the Black Knights finished the year ranked 16th in the nation in total defense, 35th in scoring defense and third in pass defense. Defensive end Josh McNary set the Academy record for quarterback sacks on game, season and career levels. He also finished among the nation’s top five in both tackles for loss per game and sacks per game. A native of Santa Monica, Calif., Saadat lettered as a standout linebacker at Washington State University before graduating in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in biology. He helped lead the team to a Copper Bowl berth in 1992 and a spot in the Alamo Bowl during his final campaign. Saadat earned Washington State team awards for courage, inspiration and strength that season as well. Saadat, 37, began his coaching career during undergraduate days at Washington State, working with the Cougars’ inside linebackers in his redshirt season in 1993. He would go on to a similar role at Santa Monica College following graduation (1995). During his first coaching stint at Cal Poly, he earned his master’s degree in kinesiology in 1998.

He also served as the Vikings’ recruiting coordinator and an assistant strength and conditioning coach during that stretch. Saadat accepted a position as defensive line coach at Saint Mary’s in January 2004 before the school dropped football two months later. Shortly thereafter, he began a long association with Ellerson on the staff at Cal Poly. During Saadat’s first season in San Luis Obispo in 2004, Cal Poly’s defense ranked first nationally in rushing defense, allowing opponents just 84.3 yards rushing per game, and ninth in scoring defense (16.6 ppg.) The Mustangs also established single season school records in quarterback sacks (50) and interceptions (25).

He moved on to Eastern Oregon for the first time in 1997, assuming offensive coordinator duties for three years (199799). During that time he helped to develop the Mountaineers’ all-time leading passer, rusher and receiver. Eastern Oregon’s offense established 35 school records during that period. Shields moved on to Saint Mary’s in 2000, heading the Gaels’ vaunted spread-option attack for three seasons (2000-02).

ASSISTANT COACHES CHRIS SMELAND CO-DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR/ SAFETIES 2ND SEASON AT ARMY CAL POLY, 1974 Chris Smeland joined Rich Ellerson along the banks of the Hudson as Army’s co-defensive coordinator and safties coach in January 2009. While Smeland had not coached with Ellerson since their days together at the University of Hawai’i, Smeland had remained well-versed in Ellerson’s double-eagle flex scheme the previous three decades, introducing the system during his stints as defensive coordinator at Utah State University, the University of Louisville and Michigan State University. In all, Smeland boasts 25 years of experience as a defensive coordinator at the Division I level. He worked directly under highly respected head coach John L. Smith during 12 of those seasons. In his first season as the co-coordinator at West Point, the Black Knights finished the 2009 season ranked 16th in the nation in total defense, 35th in scoring defense and third in pass defense. Defensive end Josh McNary set the Academy record for quarterback sacks on game, season and career levels. He also finished among the nation’s top five in both tackles for loss per game and sacks per game. During his most recent stop at Michigan State, the Spartans’ defense played a major role in the team’s remarkable turnaround in 2003. Michigan State led the Big Ten in quarterback sacks (45 for 299 yards), takeaways (29) and interceptions (15). The Spartans also ranked among the Big Ten (6th) and NCAA leaders (27th) in rushing defense, allowing only 124.8 yards per game. In 2003, Michigan State held four opponents under the 100-yard rushing mark while permitting just nine rushing touchdowns. The Spartans displayed dramatic improvement on the defensive side of the football in 2003. That fact is magnified when considering the unit that had ranked ninth in the Big Ten and No. 110 nationally (out of 117) in rushing defense the previous season, surrendering 213.8 yards per game. The 2002 Spartans also finished ninth in the Big Ten in sacks (19 for 113 yards) and takeaways (19). Prior to his stint at Michigan State, the 58-year-old Smeland played an integral part in helping Louisville to a combined record of 41-21 (.661) from 1998 to 2002. The Cardinals earned five consecutive postseason bowl appearances and back-to-back Conference USA championships (2000 and 2001) during that tenure. He also helped develop players who earned All-Conference USA honors 16 times, including seven first-team selections. From 2000 to 2002, Louisville’s defense led the nation with 132 quarterback sacks to go along with 86 takeaways, including 54 interceptions. The Cardinals ranked among NCAA leaders in rushing defense (17th) and total defense (22nd) in 2002 and finished the 2001 campaign ranked 10th nationally in scoring defense, permitting only 17.8 points per game.

Hawai’i captured a share of the Western Athletic Conference championship in 1992 and finished 11-2 overall, including a 27-17 Holiday Bowl triumph over Illinois, thanks in part to a defensive unit which ranked second in the league in rushing defense (167.2). Smeland tutored two first-team All-WAC selections during his tenure, including nose guard Maa Tanuvasa (1992) and linebacker Junior Faavae (1994).

TUCKER WAUGH SLOTBACKS/ RECRUITING COORDINATOR 9TH SEASON AT ARMY DePAUW, 1993 An assistant coach at Army from 2000 through 2004, Tucker Waugh is currently in the fourth year of his second stint at West Point. He spent the previous two years guiding wide receivers at Stanford University. Under head coach Rich Ellerson, Waugh serves as Army’s recruiting coordinator and directs the Black Knights’ slotbacks. In 2008, his first season coaching running backs in Army’s triple-option system, Waugh guided fullback Collin Mooney to a record-breaking campaign. Mooney’s 1,339 rushing yards broke the Academy’s single-season record that had stood since 1990. Mooney entered the season with just 22 career rushing yards. After coaching wide receivers for nine years at Illinois State University, Army and Stanford, Waugh shifted his efforts on the Black Knights’ running backs in 2007 and 2008. He focused on Army’s slotbacks last fall. A member of Bobby Ross’ original Army coaching staff, Waugh departed the Academy to work with head coach Walt Harris at Stanford in January 2005, continuing to build a reputation as a bright, energetic, intelligent, young coach. During his final year at Stanford, he worked with Richard Sherman, who was named to The Sporting News Pac-10 Conference All-Freshman team. In 2008, Waugh was recognized as one of the up-and-coming assistants in the nation. He was chosen to attend the 2008 NCAA Expert Coaches Forum in Dallas, Texas. The Forum is designed to improve and reinforce various aspects of securing, managing and excelling in head football coaching positions at the intercollegiate level. In 2009, Rivals.com named Waugh one of its top 10 recruiters among all non-Bowl Championship Series schools. When Waugh first arrived at Army, he inherited a group of receivers that had caught a total of 14 career passes. Over the next three years, his Black Knight wideouts registered 322 receptions. During that time, he oversaw the development of Aaron Alexander, who graduated in 2005 and ranks second on Army’s career charts for both receptions and receiving yards. Waugh mentored Alexander to an Academy-record 64 catches in 2003. His 861 receiving yards that season rank third on the Army ledger. Prior to arriving at West Point, Waugh coached for five seasons at Illinois State (1995-99). He worked with the Redbirds’ outside linebackers in 1995, running backs in 1996 and wide receivers his final three years. He mentored an AllGateway Conference selection during each of his three seasons as receivers coach, with Marquis Mosely earning recognition in 1997 and Ricky Garrett copping laurels in both 1998 and 1999. Waugh helped to establish the Redbirds’ passing attack as one of the most prolific in the nation. Illinois State advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in 1998 and reached the Division I-AA national semifinals in 1999. A 1993 graduate of DePauw University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in English Composition and Physical Education, Waugh began his coaching career at Otterbein College in 1993 overseeing the Cardinals’ quarterbacks. He returned to his alma mater in 1994 as a wide receivers coach. He also completed a coaching fellowship with the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League. Waugh lettered at quarterback while playing at DePauw from 1990 to 1992 and was named the school’s “Outstanding Physical Education Major.” Waugh resides at West Point with his wife, Jen, and sons, Jackson and Nicholas.

1984 CHERRY BOWL ARMY 10, MICHIGAN STATE 6 • DEC. 22, 1984 • PONTIAC, MICH.
PONTIAC, Mich.—Army had claimed three national championships and seven Lambert Trophy titles, had three Heisman Trophy winners and countless All-Americans; but had never participated in a postseason bowl game. That was prior to 1984. After a 7-3-1 slate during the regular season, the Black Knights were chosen to battle Michigan State in the inaugural Cherry Bowl at the Pontiac Silverdome. Army scored only one touchdown during the game, but that proved to be enough in a 10-6 win over the Spartans. The Cadets converted on two MSU miscues for both their scores. In the second quarter, State quarterback Dave Yarema lost the ball when hit by Bob Kleinhample, before teammate Jim Gentile pounced on the fumble on the MSU 46-yard line. Eight runs later, the leading rushing team in Division I-A got on the board when Clarence Jones scored from the 4-yard line. Late in the third quarter, Gentile forced another State fumble; this time it was Jim Jennings covering the loose ball. Craig Stopa capped off the ensuing drive midway through the fourth quarter with a 38-yard field goal, upping the Black Knights’ lead to 10-0. The Spartans also cashed in on a turnover for Nate Sassaman ran for a gamehigh 136 yards in the Black Knights Cherry Bowl win over Michigan State. Sassaman also completed one of his two passes for 10 yards.

their only points in the game. Following a Doug Black fumble, Yarema hit Robert Wasczenski with a 36-yard scoring strike. Quarterback Nate Sassaman, who joined Black in the 1,000-yard rushing club that season, was chosen the “Offensive Player of the Game” with 136 rushing yards. The Black Knights limited Michigan State to 89 yards rushing, capping a stellar 8-3-1 showing and a season that heralded Army football’s return to the national spotlight.

1985 PEACH BOWL ARMY 31, ILLINOIS 29 • DEC. 31, 1985 • ATLANTA, GA.
ATLANTA, Ga.—For the second year in a row, Army was invited to a postseason contest, won the game and defeated a Big Ten Conference team in the process. This time, Army’s ground forces outlasted Illinois’ high-powered passing attack 31-29 in the rain and mud of Atlanta’s Fulton County Stadium. However, it was the foot of Army’s Craig Stopa that provided the margin of victory. With the Black Knights leading 28-23, Stopa nailed a 39-yard field goal in the final quarter to stretch the lead to eight points. Illinois quarterback Jack Trudeau hit David Williams on a 54-yard scoring strike with just 34 seconds left, but his two-point pass attempt was batted down by reserve safety Peel Chronister. His two interceptions and outstanding overall play earned him “Defensive Player of the Game” honors. Cadet quarterback Rob Healy, who was cited on offense, picked up 107 yards on the ground, including a 22-yard TD. Two other Army backs added to the scoring, but through the air. Halfbacks William Lampley and Clarence Jones each threw an option pass for six points, hitting split ends Benny White and Scott Spellmon, respectively. Fullback Doug Black scored on a 1-yard run. The win gave the Black Knights a 9-3 final mark, tying the Academy record for victories in a season, last achieved by the undefeated Army team of 1949. Trudeau enjoyed a stellar passing day for Illinois, completing 38 of 56 attempts, but it was not enough.

Looking to extend its unblemished record in postseason bowls to 3-0, Army faced its stiffest holiday-time test, meeting perennial Southeastern Conference power Alabama in the 55th John Hancock Sun Bowl. The Crimson Tide entered the contest heavily favored—by as much as two touchdowns—yet trailed 14-3 less than one minute into the second quarter, unable to solve the Black Knights’ polished wishbone attack. Army rolled up 232 yards on the ground in the first half alone, including 96 by fullback Ben Barnett, who finished the day with a career-high 177 rushing yards. In the first half, Tide All-America linebacker Derrick Thomas blocked a pair of Keith Walker field goal attempts. After the Crimson Tide had taken its first lead of the game on a 23-yard scoring pass from Mike Smith to Greg Payne in the third stanza, the Cadets answered back when Mike Mayweather just reached the flag on 4th-and-goal from the ’Bama 3. Little more than one minute later, that advantage swelled to 28-20 when Army defensive back O’Neal Miller intercepted an errant Smith toss at his own 43-yard line and returned it 57 yards for a touchdown. Alabama owned the final 15 minutes, rallying for nine points while limiting Army to just 14 offensive plays and 33 total yards. Ben Barnett ran for an Army bowl record 177 yards on only 14 carries in the 1988 Sun Bowl versus Alabama. The Black Knights rushed for 350 yards versus the Crimson Tide.

1996 INDEPENDENCE BOWL AUBURN 32, ARMY 29 • DEC. 31, 1996 • SHREVEPORT, LA.
SHREVEPORT, La.—After compiling the Academy’s first 10-win regular season, Army’s compelling 1996 grid saga was capped by a furious fourth-quarter rally that just fell short against heavily favored Auburn in the 21st annual Poulan/ Weed Eater Independence Bowl. Trailing 32-7 in only their fourth postseason bowl appearance, the Black Knights turned the tide on Southeastern Conference stalwart Auburn and posted 22 points in the final stanza as quarterback Ronnie McAda masterfully brought Army to within the shadow of the end zone once again as time ticked away. Facing a 3rd-and-6 on the Auburn 10-yard line with 33 seconds left, head coach Bob Sutton called upon senior J. Parker for a potential game-tying 27-yard field goal. Parker, who closed his career ranked fourth on Army’s field goals made list and had not missed from inside the 40 all season, pushed his kick to the right and Auburn escaped. Demetrius Perry and Bobby Williams delivered fourth quarter scoring runs to bring Army close. After Auburn was unable to move the ball, McAda marched the Cadets 70 yards in seven plays. His 31-yard scoring pass to Rod Richardson pulled Army within a field goal in the waning moments. A successful onsides kick set the stage for Army’s final drive. Ronnie McAda threw for 148 yards and a touchdown in the Independence Bowl. McAda led the Black Knights to 22 unanswered fourth-quarter points.

GAME #1 • ARMY 31, EASTERN MICHIGAN 27 RYNEARSON STADIUM • YPSILANTI, MICH. SEPT. 4, 2010 • ATT. 11,318 LAST-MINUTE TD SECURES ARMY VICTORY YPSILANTI, MICH. — Jared Hassin’s seven-yard touchdown run with 38 seconds left propelled Army to a come-from-behind 31-27 victory over Eastern Michigan at Rynearson Stadium. Hassin made his collegiate debut with 68 yards and three touchdowns on just 12 carries. Army won back-to-back season openers for the first time since the 1995 and 1996 seasons. The loss was the Eagles’ 13th straight. The game was tied 14-14 at halftime, but the Black Knights scored the first 10 points of the half on an 11-yard touchdown run by Patrick Mealy and a 42-yard field goal by Alex Carlton. Eastern Michigan came back to take a 27-24 lead after a one-yard run by quarterback Alex Gillett and a 10-yard touchdown pass from Gillett to Ben Thayer with 2:59 left on the clock. Army’s offense roared back on the game-winning drive, marching 72 yards in only eight plays. The series started with a 16-yard completion from Trent Steelman to George Jordan before the Black Knights rushed the ball seven straight times. Steelman ran two times for 21 yards on the drive, including a gamesaving fumble recovery of his own option pitch that he turned into a seven-yard gain. Eastern Michigan had one final chance and put the 11,318 fans on the edge of their seats. The Eagles moved the ball to the Army 32-yard line with three seconds left. Gillett was flushed from the pocket and his desperation heave went out of the back of the end zone to end the contest and send the Black Knights back to West Point with a win. Mealy led a balanced Army rushing attack with 81 yards and a score on 14 attempts. Malcolm Brown rushed 10 times for 68 yards, followed by Hassin. Brian Cobbs rushed three times for 60 yards, including a 39-yard run which was Army’s longest play from scrimmage, in his debut in the backfield after playing defense a season ago. Steelman rushed 15 times for 35 yards. Steelman completed five of his 11 throws for 65 yards. Jordan caught the first three passes of his career for 34 yards, while Mealy and Austin Barr each had one reception. Stephen Anderson led the Black Knights’ defense with 10 stops, including eight in the first half. He also forced one fumble and made one stop behind the line of scrimmage. Donnie Dixon had a game-high 2.5 tackles for loss, while Donovan Travis recorded his first interception of the season.

Army, playing its home opener, fell behind 21-0, before tying the score with a three-touchdown third quarter. The Black Knights had possession with under a minute to play and appeared to be preparing to kick a field goal. Instead, backup quarterback Max Jenkins fumbled, the Warriors took over and drove for the winning points. Hawai’i quarterback Bryant Moniz, who threw for 343 yards, completed two passes to lead the squad down the field. A 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct whistled against Army aided the drive. The 44 yards of completions and 15-yard penalty allowed Enos to split the uprights from 31 yards away with seven seconds remaining in the contest. Moniz connected on 25-of-36 passes and three touchdowns and was sacked three times. Kealoha Pilares caught six passes for 104 yards while Greg Salas hauled in seven for 63 yards. Jared Hassin led the Black Knights with 83 yards on 20 carries while Patrick Mealy rushed nine times for 44 yards. Before his third quarter injury, Steelman connected on 3-of-4 passes for 38 yards and rushed 13 times for 40 yards. Hawai’I scored on three of its first four possessions. Moniz connected with Pollard for a 26-yard score on the first possession of the game. After an Army three-and-out, Moniz hit Rodney Bradley for an 11-yard touchdown. After an exchange of punts, Moniz found Pilares for a 48-yard scoring strike and a 21-0 advantage with 11:31 left in the first half. Army got on the board on its next possession with a 13-play, 75-yard drive that took more than seven minutes. Malcolm Brown capped the drive with a four-yard scoring run and Carlton kicked the PAT to make it a 21-7 game at halftime. The Black Knights received the second half kickoff and cut their deficit to a touchdown after a 16-yard scoring run by Hassin. Carlton’s PAT cut the Hawai’i lead to 21-14. Army tied the game on its next possession, forcing a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. Brian Cobbs recovered a botched kickoff at the Hawai’i 24-yard line and Army needed six plays to score. Cobbs’ one-yard run finished the drive and Army tied the game on Carlton’s PAT. The Black Knights took their only lead of the game after forcing another turnover. Josh McNary sacked Moniz and forced the turnover. Marcus Hilton returned the loose ball 11 yards to the Hawai’i 11 yard line. Brown carried for eight on the first play and then Steelman ran for two. Steelman then left the game with an injury. Jenkins took over and scored on a one-yard rush on his first career carry for a 28-21 Army advantage. Hawai’i knotted the game at 28 on its next possession when Alex Green rushed for a threeyard score with 3:52 left in the third quarter. L.B. Brown made six tackles to pace the Black Knights while Stephen Anderson made five. McNary finished with three sacks for combined losses of 31 yards.

GAME #10 • ARMY 45, KENT STATE 28 DIX STADIUM • KENT, OHIO NOV. 13, 2010 • ATT. 17,222 BLACK KNIGHTS BECOME BOWL ELIGIBLE KENT, Ohio — Army scored its sixth win of the season, a 45-28 victory over Kent State at Dix Stadium, to become bowl eligible for the first time since the 1996 season. The Black Knights rushed for 233 yards against the nation’s No. 1-ranked rushing defense entering the game. Army’s six wins are the most for the program since the Black Knights won 10 games in 1996. Trent Steelman threw for a season-high 149 yards, completing nine of his 10 throws to lead the Army offense to its highest offensive output against a Football Bowl Subdivision team since a 48-29 win over Cincinnati in 2004. Steelman also rushed 13 times for 37 yards and two touchdowns. Jared Hassin led the Black Knights with 75 rushing yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, snapping his string of 100-yard games at four. Brian Cobbs added 64 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. Raymond Maples was the seasonhigh fourth Army player to score a rushing touchdown, the first of his career. George Jordan led the receiving corps with a career-best four catches for 46 yards. Davyd Brooks had two catches for 47 yards. The Black Knights defense forced four turnovers. Richard King intercepted two passes, while Donovan Travis picked off another. Mike Gann recovered a fumble to account for the final takeaway. Stephen Anderson led the Army defense with seven tackles and a forced fumble. Kent State outgained the Black Knights, 410-382, but could not overcome the turnovers. Eugene Jarvis had 71 yards and a touchdown on the ground, while Giorgio Morgan completed five of his nine pass attempts for 122 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Army jumped out to a 14-0 lead with 2:03 left in the first quarter. Kent State cut the lead in half, but the Black Knights were able to reclaim a two-touchdown advantage on a one-yard run by Cobbs. Army went to the air for the majority of its 74-yard touchdown drive. A 41-yard pass from Steelman to Davyd Brooks moved the Black Knights into Kent State territory and Steelman found George Jordan for 19-yard pickup down to the 1-yard line. Following Army’s first takeaway of the day, Steelman scored his second touchdown, a three-yard run, to extend the Black Knights’ lead to 28-7. After Army punted on its first possession of the second half, Kent State scored to trim the Black Knights’ lead to 28-14 with 11:43 left in the third quarter. The Black Knights answered right back with a nine-play, 82-yard march that was capped by a five-yard run by rookie Raymond Maples. The see-saw offensive show continued on Kent’s State’s next drive. The Golden Flashes got back within two touchdowns when Morgan found Justin Thompson wide open in the back of the end zone for the score. The extra point made the score 35-21 with 4:23 left in the third quarter. An interception set up the Black Knights’ sixth touchdown of the game, stretching their lead back to 42-21. The Golden Flashes continued to light up the scoreboard in the second half when Morgan hit Goode for a 72yard catch and run on the third play of the ensuing drive.

GAME #11 • NOTRE DAME 27, ARMY 3 YANKEE STADIUM • BRONX, N.Y. NOV. 20, 2010 • ATT. 54,251 IRISH WIN FIRST GAME IN NEW YANKEE STADIUM BRONX, N.Y. — Tommy Rees threw for 214 yards and a touchdown, and Notre Dame converted two Army turnovers into 14 points en route to a 27-3 victory over the Black Knights in front of 54, 215 spectators at Yankee Stadium. Army struck first, taking a 3-0 lead late in the first quarter as Alex Carlton drilled a 20-yard field goal with 2:10 to play in the opening stanza. The Black Knights’ drive began at their 20-yard line after Donovan Travis intercepted a Rees pass in the back of the end zone. Army surprised Notre Dame on its first offensive play as Trent Steelman drilled a 27-yard pass to Davyd Brooks. The Black Knights’ triple option attack then took over with Brian Cobbs and Patrick Mealy combining for 40 rushing yards to set Army up with a first-and-goal situation at the Notre Dame eight-yard line. The Fighting Irish defense stiffened, however, holding Army to three points. The Black Knights’ 17-play march covered 78 yards and took 8 minutes, 45 seconds off the clock. Notre Dame responded on its ensuing possession as David Ruffer converted a 47-yard field goal early in the second quarter. Rees and Michael Floyd hooked up for a 33-yard pitch and catch to move the Fighting Irish into Army territory, but the Black Knights were able to limit Notre Dame to a field goal. Army went three-and-out on its next offensive possession and Notre Dame took over at the Black Knights’ 40-yard line following a 12-yard punt. Notre Dame scored its first touchdown of the day four plays later as Robert Hughes rushed for a one-yard score. The TD plunge was set up by a 35-yard strike from Rees to Tyler Eifert down to the one-yard line. After another three-and-out by Army, Notre Dame drove 71 yards in five plays to extend its lead to 17-3. Rees hit Floyd for 23 yards and then connected with Eifert for a 31-yard touchdown. Army began the second half with the football, but Darrin Walls intercepted a Steelman pass on the Black Knights’ third play of the drive and raced 42 yards down the left sideline to paydirt, extending the Notre Dame advantage to 24-3. Notre Dame capped the scoring at the 5:23 mark of the third quarter as Ruffer connected on a 39-yard field goal. Army finished with 135 rushing yards. Mealy led the Black Knights on the ground with 30 yards on six carries. Cierre Wood ran for 88 yards on 14 attempts for Notre Dame, which amassed 155 yards on the ground.

GAME #12 • NAVY 31, ARMY 17 LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELD • PHILADELPHIA, PA. DEC. 11, 2010 • ATT. 69,223 ARMY ENDS REGULAR SEASON WITH LOSS TO ARCH RIVAL PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Wyatt Middleton returned a fumble 98 yards for a touchdown late in the second half and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player as Navy topped Army, 31-17. In the 111th meeting between service academy rivals, Middleton made the play of the game to help the Midshipmen to their ninth straight win in a series that dates back to 1890. Army held a 209-139 advantage in rushing yards and scored on two passing touchdowns but Navy quarterback Ricky Dobbs threw for 186 yards and two long touchdowns and Middleton’s momentum-changing play paced the Midshipmen. The Black Knights were trailing 17-7 late in the first half and driving for a touchdown when Middleton corralled a loose ball and bolted 98 yards for a touchdown and a 24-7 Navy lead at halftime. Instead of Army cutting its deficit to three and receiving the second half kickoff, Navy went into halftime with a 17-point advantage and held on in the second half. Army quarterback Trent Steelman completed 11-of-20 passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns and was the team’s leading rusher with 74 yards on 19 carries. Raymond Maples rushed for a career-high 66 yards. Dobbs was 6-of-11 for 186 yards and two scores and rushed for 54 yards to lead the Mids’ offense. Middleton was credited with nine tackles, a pass breakup and two fumble recoveries. Army’s defense limited Navy to 139 yards rushing behind 12 tackles from Stephen Anderson and six apiece from Donovan Travis, Marcus Hilton and Jarrett Mackey. The game started sloppily as each team turned the ball over on its second play from scrimmage. Following Army’s fumble, Navy took advantage with a 36yard field goal by Joe Buckley. Army went three-and-out on its next possession before Dobbs found John Howell for a 77-yard touchdown pass and a 10-0 lead midway through the first quarter. The Midshipmen extended their advantage to 17-0 early in the second quarter when Dobbs connected with Brandon Turner for a 32-yard score. The Black Knights utilized a turnover for their first score of the game. Dobbs lost the handle on an exchange and Josh McNary fell on the loose ball at the 23-yard line. Army converted when Steelman found Malcolm Brown for a five-yard touchdown pass, the first receiving touchdown of Brown’s career. Army forced another fumble on Navy’s next possession with Anderson capturing a loose ball forced by McNary. The Black Knights appeared to be headed for the end zone before Middleton’s heroics. Army cut the deficit to 24-10 on its first possession of the second half on Alex Carlton’s 42-yard field goal, but Navy added to its lead early in the final quarter as Gee Gee Greene rushed for a 25-yard touchdown to make it 31-10. Army answered with an 80-play drive that took just five plays. Steelman and Brown hooked up for a 45-yard touchdown pass for the game’s final scoring.
