WEST POINT The United States Military Academy is renowned because of its historic and distinguished reputation as a military academy, and as a leading, progressive institution of higher education. Made legendary in books and movies produced over the years, the Academy’s “Long Gray Line” of graduates includes some of our nation’s most famous and influential men: Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, George S. Patton, Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower and Norman Schwarzkopf. Because of this superb education and leadership experience, West Point graduates historically have been sought for high level civilian and military leadership positions. Their numbers include two U.S. presidents, several ambassadors, state governors, legislators, judges, cabinet members, educators, astronauts and corporate executives. Today, West Point continues to provide hundreds of young men and women the unique opportunity to develop physically, ethically and intellectually while building a foundation for an exciting, challenging and rewarding career as an Army officer in the service of our nation. Cadets have much more responsibility in running the Academy than students in most other colleges or universities. It adds to the leadership experience. Cadets succeed at West Point because of the support they receive from the staff and faculty. After all, many faculty members are West Point graduates and understand the challenge cadets face on a daily basis. They also serve as ideal role models, showing cadets what Army life is like. The U.S. Military Academy’s primary strength is its ability to develop leaders of character who are committed to “Duty, Honor, Country” and selfless service to our nation.

ARMY FOOTBALL | DISTINGUISHED GRADUATES
FRANK BORMAN
ULYSSES S. GRANT
ROBERT E. LEE ’29 The Academy’s ninth Superintendent (1852-55), Lee was a model cadet during his four years at West Point. He graduated second in his class and never earned a single demerit during his four years at the Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was selected to serve as Commanding General of the Army, but instead resigned his commission and was named General-In-Chief of the Confederate Army from 1861 to 1865. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant (USMA 1843), at Appomattox Court House, Va., ended the Civil War. Fort Lee, Va., was named in his honor.
ULYSSES S. GRANT ’43 Grant distinguished himself during the Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863; his victory secured control of the Mississippi River for the Union. President Abe Lincoln later appointed him Commanding General of the Army in March 1864. On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Va., Robert E. Lee (USMA 1829) surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to him, ending the Civil War. Grant later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. Today, his image graces the $50 bill.
GEORGE W. GOETHALS ’80 Goethals became an architect and was builder of the Panama Canal, 1904 TO 1914.
JOHN J. PERSHING ’86 Considered the second most senior officer in Army history, behind only George Washington, Pershing served as commander of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I. The two-million-plus troops of the AEF made a decisive contribution to the defeat of Imperial Germany. Pershing’s abilities as a leader distinguished him among European commanders, and through repeated successes on the battlefield, promoted American prestige around the world. He served as Army Chief of Staff in 1921, and was named General of the Armies of the United States upon his retirement in 1924.
DOUGLAS MacARTHUR ’03 After World War I, MacArthur returned to West Point to serve as the Academy’s 31st Superintendent from 1919 to 1922. During that time, he was responsible for the revitalization of the Academy. He was later promot-
ALEXANDER HAIG
ed to General of the Army and served as Supreme Allied Commander in the Pacific Theater during World War II. During that time, he received the Medal of Honor for leading defense preparation and operations on the Philippine Islands. He later served as Supreme Allied Commander, Japan, and as commander, United Nations Command in the Far East. He was one of only five officers to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars).
GEORGE S. PATTON JR. ’09 “Old Blood and Guts,” Patton was one of the most colorful commanders in the Army. During World War II the famed commander of the 2nd Armored Division and later the Third Army displayed courage and daring as prominently as the pair of ivory handled revolvers he wore. Patton accomplished one of the most remarkable feats in military history in December 1944, when he quickly turned the Third Army northward to reinforce the Allied southern flank against the German attack in the Battle of the Bulge. The General’s doctrine of aggressive employment of massive armor forces continue to prove themselves in combat arenas around the world.
OMAR N. BRADLEY ’15 During his career, Bradley earned a reputation as one of the best infantry commanders in World War II. He commanded the 82nd Airborne and 28th Infantry Divisions before going on to command the 1st Army and the 12th Army Group. After the war he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1948 to 1949 and served as the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1949 to 1953. He was the last Army officer to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars), and the Bradley fighting vehicle is named in his honor.
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER ’15 During World War II, Eisenhower served as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces Europe from 1943 to 1944, during which he led the D-Day invasion of Europe. During that time, he was promoted to General of the Army (five stars). After the war, he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1945 to 1948 and was named President of Columbia University in 1948. He served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 to 1961 and was one of only five officers to be promoted to General of the Army (five stars).

“From the birth of our existence, America has had a faith in the future -- a belief that where we’re going is better than where we’ve been, even when the path ahead is uncertain. To fulfill that promise, generations of Americans have built upon the foundation of our forefathers -finding opportunity, fighting injustice, forging a more perfect union. Our achievement would not be possible without the Long Gray Line that has sacrificed for duty, for honor, for country.” - PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

“My four years at West Point were wonderful. I loved every minute of it and particularly the last three years. I loved the history. I loved the tradition. I liked wearing the uniform. I felt like I belonged there. Everything was meaningful to me. There is no question in my mind the proudest day of my father’s life was the day I graduated from West Point. There is a picture of the two of us standing on ‘The Plain’ and he is just beaming.” - GENERAL H. NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF “I was so proud to be on the verge of entering the only institution in American society at that time that was totally integrated, in which I would have the opportunity to rise, based solely on performance and ability.

WHY WEST POINT? “Any of us who went through the process; anyone who felt the flame of that furnace, came away altered in the way we go about running our lives. Some part of it is the belief that you are not only doing it for personal glory, but you do it because it is your responsibility. It’s part of being a member of The Corps and each of us that have felt that magic feel especially privileged to have done so.” - HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER PETE DAWKINS

FOLEY ATHLETIC CENTER
The latest jewel in Army’s treasure trove of athletic facilities, Foley Athletic Center opened its doors two years ago, serving as the “winter home” of the Black Knights. The massive 77,000-square-foot structure provides Army’s football team with a state-of-the-art indoor practice facility, a place where the team can train in a climate-controlled environment during the winter months and inclement weather days throughout the year. The facility contains a full 100-yard football playing field, along with full 10-yard end zones on both ends. Additionally, a five-yard buffer encircles the field. In all, the FieldTurf playing surface covers 130 yards in length. In addition, a 50yard-by-10-yard speed and agility room is housed in the sprawling training center. The project was made possible through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. William Foley, who pledged a gift of $15 million towards the continuation of the “Margin of Excellence” facility upgrade project. The largest single donation in service academy history, the gift by the Foley family funded the design and construction of the facility that bears its name. The Foley Athletic Center represents Phase II of the “Margin of Excellence” facility upgrade which began in 2001. 16

“I WANT AN OFFICER ... “I WANT AN OFFICER FOR A SECRET AND DANGEROUS MISSION …” The wording on a bronze 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 be as specific as it was during World War II, when Gen. George C. Marshall 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 wellremembered 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.

CENTER OF ATTENTION
ARMY IS ONE OF JUST THREE SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY GUARANTEED TO HAVE ALL OF ITS HOME GAMES TELEVISED NATIONALLY. CBS Sports Network and the Army Athletic Association announced an exclusive five-year agreement in July 2009, guaranteeing live television coverage of every Army home football game and select neutral-site games in which Army is the home team, on CBS Sports Network, through 2014. In the last 15 years, 70 Army games have been televised nationally, 18 via network television. The Black Knights have played before a national television audience 48 times the past six seasons alone. Those numbers will continue to grow this fall with seven national television appearances scheduled as of early summer. Army has had 11 of its 12 contests televised in two of the last four seasons. Additionally, CBS Sports will televise the Army-Navy Classic to a worldwide audience for the 16th consecutive season. In the last eight seasons, 41 of Army’s 45 home games have been on television, including 33 of 34 contests on national television over the last six seasons. 22
W W W. G O A R M Y S P O R T S . C O M
In conjunction with Army Sports Properties, the Army Athletic Association remains partnered with WABC (770-AM), New York, N.Y., to serve as the flagship station of the Army Sports Network. WABC, whose 50,000-watt clear channel signal can be heard in 38 states and Canada, is widely regarded as the pre-eminent and widest-reaching AM radio station in the country. WABC is recognized as the nation’s most-listened-to talk-radio station. In addition to its agreement with WABC, Army adds Hudson Valley affiliates WALL (1340AM), Middletown, N.Y., and WEOK (1390-AM), Poughkeepsie, N.Y., as vital components of the Army Sports Network this season thanks to a five-year partnership between Cumulus Media and the Army Athletic Association announced in July 2009. The Army Sports Network will grow by two stations for the annual Army-Navy game and any Black Knights postseason bowl appearance as WZAD (97.3-AM), Wurtsboro, N.Y., and WKXP (94.3-AM), Kingston, N.Y., join the ASN affiliate list. Complementing its local affiliate lineup, the Army Sports Network returns to Sirius Satellite Radio for a seventh season. It’s hard to imagine a program generating more national attention than does Army’s. Complementing its vast radio and television presence, feature stories regarding the Black Knights have appeared “coast-to-coast” in news outlets such as Sports Illustrated, USA Today, The Sporting News, ESPN, ESPN.com, ESPN360, SportsLine.com, The New York Times, San Diego Union-Tribune, New York Post, New York Daily News, Journal News, Tampa Tribune, Baltimore Sun, Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News, Dallas Morning News, San Antonio Express-Times, Denver Post, New Orleans Times-Picayune and Virginian-Pilot in the last few years. While ESPN’s popular College GameDay show originated live from West Point on Sept. 27, 2003, “The Seeds of Victory,” a Bombo Sports and Entertainment-produced documentary that closely followed Army’s 2004 seniors throughout that season, debuted on ESPN six years ago. In 2009, ESPN broadcast its morning SportsCenter live from “The Plain” at West Point, while ESPN’s Sports Nation radio show, hosted by Colin Cowherd, visited the Academy in 2010. This season, Showtime Sports and CBS Sports are teaming up for “A Game Of Honor,” a two-hour exclusive docudrama featuring both Army and Navy. Showtime will capture an all-access look at both teams’ unique season-long journey. The in-depth docudrama will premiere Wednesday, December 21 on Showtime. The production will have behindthe-scenes access to both academies and their respective football teams for six months leading up to the Army-Navy game, as well as during the game and immediately following.
THE U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY

W W W. G O A R M Y S P O R T S . C O M
The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, 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. 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 Academyy seeks candidates who p possess uccess in academics, athletics records of success hip indicative of well-roundand leadership ls. ed individuals. Although the life of a cadet is dehere remains an array of manding, there es ranging from golf, skiing, club activities w and orienteering to such orgaboxing, crew nizations ass the cadet radio station, Habitat for Humanityy and Big Brothers-Big Sisters. Ade U.S. Corps of Cadets hosts a Speditionally, the cial Olympicss event each spring.

“I cannot begin to describe the love and pride I have for West Point and Army Football. Having the opportunity to be a member of the Long Gray Line and the unique brotherhood of Army Football has shaped my life in every way. I am humbled and honored to say I am part of a pedigree that has produced our nation’s greatest leaders and historic figures, and even more excited to assist in the development of its future leaders.” - TONY COAXUM “The tradition and pride of West Point influence each individual who passes through the Academy’s hallowed gates. The spark of West Point has placed in me a flame that will burn the rest of my days. I am completely honored and privileged to live the dream of coaching and giving back to a place that gave me so much. The values of leadership that West Point provided me have changed my life. I am truly blessed to have experienced the gifts this great institution provides. If you want to discover the gifts within yourself, there is no place better than West Point.” - CLARENCE HOLMES “In my 40 years of coaching experience, I have been very lucky. Now, here at West Point, luck has turned to privilege. I now find myself surrounded by Army pride, the warm West Point community spirit, unwavering personal commitment, total loyalty, academic excellence, and athletic prowess. What gifts these young men and this special place give me every day.” - GENE McKEEHAN “West Point is a magical and mystical place. These were my thoughts the first time I visited USMA during my recruiting visit in the spring of 1990. I am honored and privileged to be given the opportunity to coach, teach, and mentor the future leaders of the world. The four-year experience at West Point transforms your life and inspires young men and women to make positive social change. My mother summed up West Point best on Graduation Day in 1995, when she gave me a note that read, ‘Congratulations on this great accomplishment, but more importantly, thank you for enriching our family in ways never imagined...’” - JOE ROSS

“To say that it is an honor to coach football at West Point would be a gross understatement. There is no better coaching job in all of college football, and I wish every coach would get this opportunity just once. There is more to football then what happens between the chalk on Saturdays and at West Point that fact is even further magnified. These young men play their hearts out for each other, the Corps of Cadets, and for the men and women fighting for our freedom. It’s an awesome feeling waking up every day knowing that I have the privilege to interact with and coach men that represent everything that is right with our country. There is great history and tradition here at West Point and with Army Football, but it is the future that I am excited and proud to be a part of.” - JOHN BROCK “West Point represents an ideal in both character and leadership development. The young men and women who are chosen to attend this institution, and in turn, those that I am able to have an influence upon as a coach, receive my utmost respect and admiration. They will receive my best possible effort every day. This unique environment demands excellence in many different aspects of one’s life, and my wife Brenda and I are very excited and humbled to be a part of it.” - ANDY GUYADER “As a member of this elite community here at West Point, I get to witness the creation of the world’s future leaders first-hand. It has humbly inspired me to be the best mentor and coach that I can be. From the beginning, the athletic program at Army has always been a big part of the rich and storied tradition of West Point.” - ROBERT LYLES

“Being from Newburgh, I grew up watching Army Football so coaching here is not only a privilege but a real thrill. Working with these fine young men and being a small part of this great institution, where words like Duty, Honor, Country still have a deep meaning, is truly a great honor.” - BILL TRIPP “It is a privilege for my family and I to have the opportunity to be at West Point. The tradition and honor associated with West Point, Army Football and the Long, Gray Line will resonate in our lives for years to come.” - PAYAM SAADAT “The opportunity and privilege to be a part of the legendary tradition associated with Army Football is exciting and an honor. The history and accomplishments of the cadets that have graduated from West Point attest to the quality of leadership development. The cadets that have participated in Army Football have made an important contribution to the spirit and pride of the entire Corps of Cadets. To coach and be a part of the cadet’s development as a leader and contribute to his West Point Experience is extremely rewarding.” - CHRIS SMELAND
“I will never receive, nor have I ever received a finer compliment professionally or personally than to be entrusted with the Army football program at this point in its history. I grew up with Army football. I was part of a typical Army family. When I was a kid, I was watching those guys at West Point, my father was a West Point graduate and we were living on Army posts all over the world. I just grew up thinking that West Point was the center of the universe. It’s a little bit of a catharsis.” - HEAD COACH RICH ELLERSON
“The Corps of Cadets is representative of the finest young people in our nation. Victory and success are the expectations in everything they do. That is the very reason the United States Military Academy is a tremendously special place to play college football. There is no doubt in my mind that Army Football will reach levels surpassing its wonderful history. If a young man truly wishes to achieve excellence in all facets of his life, there is no better place imaginable than West Point.” - TUCKER WAUGH “It is truly an honor to coach at West Point. Every day I get to work with the best young men our country has to offer. Each day I am here I am inspired by the commitment there is to achieve victory in every arena all day, every day. This is a special place for special young men. It is tough, demanding and intense — a true challenge. For the young man that chooses to come to West Point there are some unbelievable opportunities in front of them; the opportunity to play Division 1 football with national exposure, the opportunity to receive the best overall education our country has to offer, the opportunity to secure future employment and financial stability, and the opportunity to serve and defend our nation as an officer. I am thrilled to be here and am excited for the future of Army Football.” - IAN SHIELDS “The opportunity to serve at the ‘premier’ academic-leadership institution in the country is truly an honor. As coaches, we are charged with continuing the proud football tradition through winning championships the right way! As a coach, there cannot be a more rewarding sense of pride than when the Corps of Cadets and the Army Band sing and play ‘On Brave Old Army Team’ after a big play. As graduates and members of the Long Gray Line, the ‘12th Man’ will be behind you for life!” - JOHN MUMFORD

ARMY AT YANKEE STADIUM Army and Notre Dame – two staples of the national sports scene when they met 21 times between 1925 and 1946 at the original Yankee Stadium, the home of the New York Yankees – renewed that historic collegiate rivalry for the 50th time on Nov. 20, 2010, when the Black Knights and Fighting Irish battled in the first football game played at the new Yankee Stadium. NBC Sports televised the Army-Notre Dame game on a national basis in prime time. In addition to facing Notre Dame, the Black Knights announced the “Army at Yankee Stadium Series.” The three-game slate will include games against Rutgers on Nov. 12, 2011, Air Force on Nov. 3, 2012, and Boston College on Nov. 8, 2014. Army will serve as the home team for all three of those contests with CBS Sports Network televising the games to a national audience. Army teams played at the original Yankee Stadium on 38 occasions from 1925 to 1969. Notre Dame ranked as the Black Knights’ most common opponent during that span with Army battling the Fighting Irish 22 times over that time. The teams met for the final time at Yankee Stadium in 1969 (helping to commemorate the 100th anniversary of college football). Notre Dame holds a 14-5-3 series advantage against Army in games played at the original Yankee Stadium. Overall, the Black Knights posted a 14-19-5 mark at Yankee Stadium. Army and Air Force began their series matchup with a Yankee Stadium encounter in 1959, while the Black Knights have never faced Rutgers or Boston College in the Bronx.

ARMY FOOTBALL | DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
BOO CORRIGAN DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS 1ST YEAR NOTRE DAME, 1990 United States Military Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr., named the person selected to lead West Point’s intercollegiate athletic department when he announced the hiring of Boo Corrigan as the Academy’s director of athletics on Feb. 1, 2011. Corrigan, who was the senior associate athletic director for external affairs at Duke University starting in August 2008, brings a wealth of leadership to his new post. He is a proven administrator with 18 years of experience in all areas of revenue generation, external affairs, staff management and leadership. Corrigan’s chief responsibilities at Duke included the oversight of the Blue Devil corporate partnerships and the Marketing, Promotions, Ticket, Internet Operations, Sports Information and Video Services departments. In only two years at Duke, Corrigan was responsible for the negotiation of multi-media rights to ISP, which increased annual rights more than 40 percent. “First and foremost, I am honored to have the opportunity to work at the United States Military Academy, the West Point leadership and the U.S. Army,” Corrigan said upon his hiring. “It is my privilege to serve those proud Americans that serve our country and to be at the greatest leadership institution in the world. “I want to say specifically to our cadet-athletes that we will provide them the opportunity and the wherewithal to achieve to their highest ability and to provide our coaches with the opportunity to win championships, and build leaders of character. We will strive for our cadets to achieve great success in their academics, military training and athletic endeavors.”
Army operates a 25-sport intercollegiate athletic program, highlighted by its nationally recognized football team. Under the direction of head coach Rich Ellerson the Black Knights finished 7-6 this season and closed the season with a win over SMU in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. A supervisor of the 2009 NCAA Champion women’s tennis and 2010 NCAA Champion men’s lacrosse programs, Corrigan was a part of three NCAA Championships at Duke in just two seasons. He is currently a member of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Rules committee and the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Lacrosse Committee, while serving on the Executive Budget Committee at Duke. Prior to arriving at Duke in August of 2008, he oversaw Notre Dame’s corporate relations and marketing as an associate athletic director for five years. During his stint at Notre Dame, Corrigan spearheaded the redesign of its official athletics website and creation of 15-20 hours of original video content weekly. That resulted in a 35 percent increase in page views and unique users. Corrigan also worked directly with ISP Sports, CSTV, and NBC Sports from a sales and marketing standpoint. “We are excited about the selection of Boo Corrigan to be Army’s athletic director,” Huntoon said upon Corrigan’s hiring. “He has wide experience in helping to lead a Division I athletic department and has excelled at the highest levels. He brings to the Military Academy a wealth of experience at some of the nation’s elite athletic programs.” Before joining the staff at Notre Dame, Corrigan spent nearly three years as the associate athletic director for marketing at the United States Naval Academy. He was responsible for turning the marketing department from a deficit to profit in his first year with full budget responsibility for the department. Corrigan also was intimately involved with the re-branding of the Annual Giving Campaign (The Blue and Gold), which led to an increase of 75 percent year over year donations.
He previously spent a year as a partner in Corrigan Sports Enterprises, an entrepreneurial sports marketing company, in the Baltimore area -- and also worked two years as an equity partner in mrgoodbucks.com, an e-commerce program that involved creation of affinity business relationships. Corrigan also served two years as vice president of EMCEE Sports, a Baltimore-based sports marketing company with a focus on professional golf from 1997 through ‘99. In that role, he was responsible for a $2.5 million operating budget for the State Farm Senior Classic. He worked for Host Communications for two years, helping create relationships with various college and university athletic departments, and served as assistant director of marketing at Florida State from 1992-95. The youngest son of former ACC commissioner Gene Corrigan, he is a 1990 University of Notre Dame graduate with a degree in economics. Corrigan is currently obtaining a masters in education in sports leadership with an expected 2011 graduation. He and his wife, the former Kristen Aceto, are the parents of three children, Finley, Tre and Brian.

ARMY FOOTBALL | ARMY ON THE AIRWAVES THE BLACK KNIGHTS ON TELEVISION
CBS Sports Network and the Army Athletic Association announced an exclusive five-year agreement in July 2009, guaranteeing live television coverage of every Army home football game and select neutral-site games in which Army is the home team, on CBS Sports Network, beginning with the 2010 season and continuing through 2014. The deal was announced by Sean McManus, President, CBS News and Sports, and Kevin Anderson, Director of Athletics at West Point, at a press conference at Yankee Stadium.
A major component of the agreement assures that all Army home football games will be played on Saturday afternoons beginning at either noon or 3:30 p.m., ET with all kickoff times to be set by May 1 each year. Additionally, a live web stream of all Army’s home broadcasts will be made available free of charge to soldiers and military personnel around the world. In the last 15 years, 71 Army games have been televised nationally, 18 via network television. The Black Knights have played before a national television audience 49 times the past six seasons alone. A host of other games have been televised regionally. Those numbers will continue to grow this fall with seven national television appearances scheduled as of early summer. Army has had at least eight contests televised each of the past four years.
Army is one of just three schools in the country guaranteed to have all of its home games televised nationally. In addition to the Black Knights’ home affairs, CBS Sports will televise the Army-Navy Classic to a worldwide audience for the 16th consecutive season.
from Black Knights Alley in front of Michie Stadium on game days, beginning two hours prior to kickoff. The 90-minute show is heard from the press box at Army road venues before each of the Black Knights’ away contests as well. Army’s assistant athletic director for marketing, multi-media services and broadcasting, Rich DeMarco, returns for his second season as the Black Knights’ play-by-play voice this fall. In his ninth year with the Army Athletic Association, DeMarco has served solely as the Black Knights’ director of broadcasting during his first three years, the New Jersey product added the title of director of multi-media services and community outreach during the summer of 2007. Less than one year later, DeMarco was elevated to the title of assistant athletic director for marketing, broadcasting and multi-media services. DeMarco handled sideline reporting duties for Army broadcasts for seven years and also hosted Army’s weekly football radio show, as well as “Army Football Tailgate Show.” During the winter months, DeMarco serves as radio play-by-play voice of Army’s men’s and women’s basketball teams and handles similar duties for baseball and lacrosse.
Joining DeMarco in the booth on football game days is veteran color analyst Dean Darling, whose ties to Army’s football program span four decades. John Minko, who has served as the Black Knights’ radio play-by-play voice the past 10 years, will slide over to co-host the Army Football Tailgate Show in Black Knights Alley with longtime Army broadcaster Bob Outer before all home and some road contests. Minko, the highly respected lead sports anchor at WFAN (660-AM) New York, N.Y., has shouldered play-by-play responsibilities on the Army Sports Network the past 11 years. Outer also hosts the pregame, halftime and postgame shows. Tony Morino will handle the sideline reporting duties for the second straight season. Complementing its local affiliate lineup, the Army Sports Network returns to Sirius Satellite Radio for a fifth season this fall, and for the 14th consecutive year, Army’s radiocasts can also be heard live via the Internet. All ASN game calls, as well as “Inside Army Football,” the “Army Football Tailgate Show,” “Overtime Online,” pregame and postgame shows, weekly press conferences and postgame press conferences can be heard and/or viewed live online at www.goARMYsports.com via ITT Knight Vision, Army’s audio and video streaming platform. Army Athletics and its multimedia rights holder, Army Sports Properties recently announced the creation of an Army Base Network to take Black Knight games and programming to military bases across the United States. The Army Base Network will provide an exclusive opportunity for military personnel to hear Black Knight football games over the airwaves beginning with the 2011-12 athletic season. KXCA-AM in Lawton, Okla., WZZN-FM in Huntsville, Ala. and WAZZ-AM in Fayetteville, N.C. are three of the radio affiliates covering major Army bases currently on the Network. These affiliates in particular will broadcast Army Football to Fort Sill (Lawton), Redstone Arsenal (Huntsville) and Fort Bragg (Fayetteville), respectively. The Army Sports Network additionally offers Spanish-only radio broadcasts for fans each football season, and last year broadcast the Army-Navy football game through an agreement with the American Forces Network (AFN). AFN is part of the Alexandria, Va.-based American Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS).

38 | 2011 ARMY FOOTBALL
ARMY FOOTBALL | 2011 SEASON OUTLOOK Head coach Rich Ellerson had one goal in mind when he took the reins of the storied Army football program prior to the 2009 season — bring winning football back to West Point. He and the Black Knights accomplished that mission in 2010. In 2011, the focus shifts to keeping winning football on the banks of the Hudson. The echoes of West Point’s “Alma Mater” following the Black Knights’ Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl victory over SMU had barely faded when Ellerson reconvened his squad for spring drills. Just six weeks after Army’s first bowl win in 25 years, Ellerson and the Black Knights began the task of putting the pieces together to ensure the 2011 season is as memorable as 2010. With the departure of several key members of last season’s squad that posted a 7-6 mark, Army’s spring practice sessions focused on identifying upand-coming talent that can step in and contribute in 2011. Many of the Black Knights’ known commodities either did not participate at all in spring workouts, or had their repetitions limited, in order for the coaching staff to get a better grasp of the improvements made by players that have limited game experience. “Spring is always a great chance to develop fundamentally,” Ellerson explained. “Then there is the discovery process that takes place. You have a freshman class that you have an impression of based on what you saw in the summer and the fall, but it’s just that. Frankly, they’re going to be so much different just a couple of months later. “It’s a real challenge when we are as relatively young as we are. When you have as large and prolific of a senior class as we graduated, there are a lot of opportunities out there and a lot of guys that you might want to juggle around. It’s re-evaluating the younger guys and getting them in a position where they have a chance to contribute because a number of them are going to have to.”
OFFENSIVE OUTLOOK The Black Knights welcome back six starters from last season’s team that ranked eighth in the nation in rushing offense (251.6 yds/game) and became Army’s highest-scoring unit since 1996 (26.6 points/game). The vast majority of that experience returns at the skill positions, led by the tandem of junior quarterback Trent Steelman and junior fullback Jared Hassin. In addition to the Black Knights’ top two rushers, Army returns both its starting receivers and four of its top five most productive slotbacks. Most of the rebuilding work will have to be done on the offensive line. Just one starter, junior guard Frank Allen, returns from the front five that not only opened holes in the rushing game, but also allowed the third-fewest sacks per game in the nation last season (0.6 sacks/game).
TRENT STEELMAN QUARTERBACK
FULLBACK
Despite sitting out spring drills due to a shoulder injury, Steelman returns firmly entrenched as the Black Knights’ starting signal caller. The Bowling Green, Ky., native has started each of the 25 games Army has played during his two seasons and enters his junior campaign already ranked among the Black Knights’ all-time top 10 in total offense (3,059 yards). Steelman showed great command of Army’s triple-option offense in his second season, increasing both his rushing (721 yards) and passing (995) totals from 2009 and finishing only five passing yards shy of becoming the first Army player to rush for at least 500 yards and throw for 1,000 yards in the same campaign. He accounted for 18 touchdowns during the season, including 11 rushing scores. Steelman is already the Black Knights’ winningest starting quarterback (12 victories) since Ronnie McAda started 16 Army wins from 1994-96. The Black Knights are also in capable hands should Ellerson have to call on a reserve. Senior Max Jenkins, who took the majority of snaps in spring practice due to Steelman’s absence, reprises his role as the primary backup signal caller. Jenkins appeared in seven games last season, including scoring a touchdown on his first collegiate snap versus Hawai’i. Jenkins has been lauded by the coaching staff for his ability to learn the game plan without the need of extended practice time. Sophomore Cody Jackson also received reps during spring practice, but has never taken a snap collegiately.
The biggest difference between the 2009 Army offense that averaged 15.3 points per game and last season’s squad was the ability to produce big plays from the fullback position. Hassin, only the second sophomore in program history to post a 1,000-yard season, led the team with 1,013 yards and ranked second on the squad with nine rushing touchdowns. He averaged 5.3 yards per rush in 2010 after the 2009 fullback corps combined to average 4.2 yards per rush. Hassin led the Black Knights by posting seven of the team’s 17 rushing plays of at least 20 yards. Entering preseason camp, junior Dan McGue occupies the backup spot on the depth chart. McGue played in three outings during the 2010 season, but has not carried the ball in a game. Despite his inexperience, McGue took the majority of snaps with the first team during the Black/Gold Game last spring, scoring two short-yardage touchdowns. Junior David Collins and sophomores Jay Tully and Hayden Tippett also return to compete for playing time behind Hassin.

SLOTBACK The biggest loss at a skill position is the graduation of slotback Patrick Mealy who rushed for more than 1,500 yards during his career. Fortunately for the Black Knights, there are plenty of candidates to replace his production. Junior Malcolm Brown is back after starting opposite Mealy last season. Brown was Army’s fourthleading rusher in 2010 with 343 yards despite missing seven games with a shoulder injury. Brown ranked second on the team at 5.5 yards per carry and was fourth among Army runners with four rushing touchdowns. Brown was also effective in the return game, returning 13 kickoffs for an average of 21.0 yards per attempt. While Brown started the majority of games, several other players with game action under their belts return to the backfield. Junior Brian Cobbs, a converted cornerback, played in all 13 games and made five starts at the C-Back position when Brown went down with his injury. Cobbs rushed 50 times for 302 yards and five touchdowns. His 6.0 yards per carry led the Black Knights. A pair of rookies also made their mark in 2010. Sophomore Raymond Maples played in 10 games, making one start as a plebe. He posted 208 yards on and a touchdown on 47 carries while recording two receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown. Maples enters preseason camp as the projected starter at the A-Back position. Backing up Maples is junior Kelechi Odocha. Odocha has yet to see any varsity action, but impressed enough during spring drills to be listed No. 2 on the preseason depth chart. Also in the mix is sophomore Jonathan Crucitti. Crucitti, who did not participate in spring drills while playing baseball at West Point, played in nine games as a freshman. In addition to his 29 rushes for 87 yards and three catches for 28 yards, Crucitti proved to be an outstanding lead blocker in space while leading plays to the outside. Junior Brian Austin solidified his spot as a capable back up to Brown and Cobbs during the spring. Austin played in two games a year ago, gaining 25 yards on five carries.

WIDE RECEIVER Unlike the 2010 season when Army’s returning receivers had a total of five career catches, the 2011 receiving corps returns two starters who ranked among the team’s most productive players in the passing game. The duo of seniors Davyd Brooks and Austin Barr each played in all 13 games a year ago, combining for 24 starts. Brooks led the Black Knights last season with 15 catches and 238 receiving yards to go along with one touchdown reception. He was on the receiving end of Army’s last completion of the season, a key third-down play that allowed the Black Knights to run out the clock in their bowl victory over SMU. Brooks averaged 15.9 yards per catch and a teamhigh 12 of his 15 catches accounted for either a touchdown or a first down. Barr also averaged more than 15 yards per catch (15.4), hauling in 14 passes for 215 yards and a team-best three touchdowns. Ten of his catches resulted in scores or first downs, including four on third down. Both Barr and Brooks played valuable roles in the running game as well with their ability to block defensive backs downfield. Junior Justin Allen opened the coaching staff’s eyes during spring drills and is listed as a reserve behind Barr. Allen played in nine games last season both as a backup receiver and on special teams.

Sophomore Jared McFarlin, a local product from Monroe-Woodbury High School in Monroe, N.Y., did not play in a varsity game last season, but worked his way into a backup role with a solid spring. Another relative newcomer is slated as Brooks’ main backup at the other spot. Sophomore Anthony Stephens made his presence felt immediately in his first preseason camp and worked his way onto the travel roster. He did not make a reception in 2009, but played in nine games on special teams.
OFFENSIVE LINE Perhaps the biggest task facing the Army offensive coaches this past spring was rebuilding the offensive line that featured the same starting five in 12 of its 13 games a year ago. Four of those players – tackles Jason Johnson and Anees Merzi, guard Seth Reed and center Zach Peterson – were lost to graduation. With Allen entrenched at left guard, the majority of the spring was spent identifying candidates that could replicate the chemistry and effectiveness of last season’s line. The good news is that despite the experience that has vacated the starting lineup, there are still a number of seasoned players available to fill those roles. Seniors Brad Kelly and Mike McDermott enter the fall as the top two candidates at left tackle. Kelly has played in 24 games over the past two seasons, including drawing a starting assignment at Iowa State in 2009. McDermott has played in 13 career games, starting four times as a sophomore in 2009. Sophomore Dan Whitaker starts preseason camp as the backup. Fighting for time with Allen at left guard is senior Jordan Pleasants. Pleasants has yet to appear in a varsity contest. The center position not only lost a two-year starter in Peterson, but also the main reserve, Thomas Hagan. Junior Will Wilson and sophomore Michael
Kime have stepped into those roles entering preseason camp. Wilson played in one game a year ago, while Kime did not see any varsity action as a plebe. Senior Joe Bailey and junior Matt Villanti are the favorites to hold down the right guard job. Bailey started at left guard three times as a sophomore in 2009. Villanti played in all 13 games a year ago as part of the field goal unit. Senior Robert Kava is also in the mix at right guard. Kava has two career games played under his belt.
DAVYD BROOKS The right tackle spot will be manned by juniors Derek Bisgard and Ben Jebb who occupy the top two spots on the depth chart coming out of spring practice. Bisgard played in one game last season, accounting for the only appearance between the two. “Obviously, we have some new guys in there, but those newcomers aren’t all that new,” Ellerson said. “Those are guys that have been in those positions in a backup role. They stepped in and stepped up and were really productive this spring. I was pleased with that transition. I was surprisingly pleased with the play at center. Will Wilson and Michael Kime did a nice job there. I thought we’d be serviceable there, but not maybe as far along as we are. That was encouraging.”

ARMY FOOTBALL | 2011 SEASON OUTLOOK
RETURNING OFFENSIVE LINEMEN
FRANK ALLEN DEFENSIVE OUTLOOK One of the hallmarks of Ellerson’s double-eagle flex defense is its ability to adjust to fit its personnel’s skills and strengths. That philosophy will be put to the test in 2011 as the Black Knights must find ways to replace some of the most productive players in program history. Army lost six starters on defense, including its leading tackler and emotional leader from 2010 (LB Stephen Anderson), the program’s all-time leader in tackles for loss and quarterback sacks (DE Josh McNary), a three-year starter at nose tackle (Mike Gann), both safeties (Donovan Travis and Donnie Dixon), including one who occupies the No. 2 position on the Black Knights’ all-time interceptions list (Travis) and a defensive end who played in 36 games over the past three seasons (Marcus Hilton). Having to account for the contributions of those players, along with some valuable reserves, will challenge the Army coaching staff in not only finding new talent, but developing ways to deploy that talent to maximize productivity. The preseason two-deep is littered with players who enter the 2011 campaign as unknown commodities, at least to program outsiders. “It looks like some of those guys have really taken a step forward,” Ellerson said. “(After the season) they step back (off the field), they train, they lift, but they’re playing that movie in their head over and over. Then they step back out here and they look like they’re so much further ahead. They’re more mature and their reactions are so much better. “Defensively, this spring we were very simple and kind of generic in our adjustments because there was a bit of discovery phase. We had to find our strengths and weaknesses before we start to maybe tailor things to his personnel set. That’s something we’ll be scratching our heads about, to make some of those calls. I think the defense will adjust to the personnel set we have, but it’s going to be our defense.”

DEFENSIVE LINE Much like the offensive front, Army’s defensive line will have several new faces come the first weekend in September. Familiar faces such as Mike Gann, Josh McNary and Marcus Hilton are gone, but an exciting crop of newcomers is waiting in the wings. Even with the loss of McNary, a name familiar to Army fans will line up at the “quick” defensive end position. Junior Jarett Mackey started all 13 games at the “bandit” position, a hybrid lineman/linebacker. Mackey made an immediate impact in his first season as a starter, finishing fourth on the team in total tackles (47), fourth on the team in tackles for loss (6.5) and second in quarterback sacks (4.0). Junior Shola Mustapha, who has yet to see any time with the varsity squad begins his third season as Mackey’s primary backup. The other defensive end spot has a pair of new faces heading into fall camp. Sophomore Holt Zalneraitis begins his second season on the Banks of the Hudson as the projected starter. Zalneraitis did not have any statistics in one game as a plebe. Senior Chad Littlejohn is listed as Zalneraitis’ back-

up. Littlejohn was moved to end from linebacker before the start of preseason practice. As a junior, he started seven times at “whip” linebacker, making 30 tackles, including 3.0 for loss. One of the key position battles this past spring was supposed to be for Mike Gann’s starting spot at nose tackle. However, a rash of injuries kept players such as junior A.J. Mackey off the practice field. The positive outcome of those injuries was the number of players who were able to take repetitions at those spots during spring drills. Despite the injury, Mackey enters 2011 as the starter at right tackle. Mackey played in seven games last season, including a starting assignment versus Air Force. He was productive in his limited playing time, posting nine tackles, including an assist behind the line of scrimmage, and a forced fumble. Sophomore Corey Watts is listed as the primary backup. Watts did not see any time during his first season at West Point. Sophomore Clayton Keller and junior Parker Whitten begin 2011 as the top two left tackle candidates. Despite not getting any playing time last season, Keller impressed enough during the spring to earn
ARMY FOOTBALL | 2011 SEASON OUTLOOK broke up five passes. Prior to the start of spring practice, Erzinger was selected as a “legacy” captain by last season’s seniors who felt he was the best representative to build on the foundation laid during 2010. Sophomore Justin Trimble, who switched to the No. 5 jersey worn by his oldest brother Jeremy, Army’s all-time leading receiver, is listed behind Erzinger. Trimble bounced between defensive back and linebacker a year ago, making five tackles in 11 games. The “whip” linebacker spot has numerous candidates. Junior Zach Watts ran with the first team most of the spring. Watts played in 11 games last season, including three appearances in the starting lineup. He recorded 20 tackles, including a sack, recovered a fumble and forced two more. Senior Andrew Rodriguez will attempt to return from a back injury that forced him to miss all of 2010. Rodriguez started all 12 games in 2009, leading the Black Knights with 85 tackles. The coaching staff will be cautious with Rodriguez during preseason camp.
JARETT MACKEY the top spot on the depth chart. Whitten saw action in six games, making one tackle and breaking up a pass. Whitten is also in the mix to be the Black Knights’ long snapper on punts and field goals. “I have still have some concerns,” Ellerson said after Army’s spring scrimmage. “We didn’t answer the questions we have about the interior defensive line. That we didn’t get resolved because those guys that quite frankly we were looking at to fill those gaps didn’t practice. They got themselves nicked up early so that’s something to still be determined. It’s something that’s going to be a concern going into training camp.”
LINEBACKER A mixture of new players and returning veterans at new positions will make up the 2011 Army linebacking corps. While the middle linebacker spot was without much doubt in 2010, this year’s preseason camp opens with plenty of new faces. Two-time captain Stephen Anderson, last season’s leading tackler with 108 stops, is slated to be replaced by junior Nate Combs. Combs earned the starting job at the “whip” spot last season, starting the season opener at Eastern Michigan. His year was cut short, however, when he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first quarter. The injury kept him out of spring practice. Juniors Kyler Martin and C.J. Shelley are locked in a battle for playing time behind Combs. Martin made yet another position switch during the spring. He entered the Academy as a receiver, but was moved to linebacker during 2009 where he played in all 12 games, mostly on special teams, before making two starts at middle linebacker after a season-ending injury to Anderson. He was moved back to receiver during 2010 spring practice, but switched to the defensive backfield during the season. He played in nine outings a year ago, primarily on special teams. This spring he was moved back to the middle linebacker spot. Shelley has yet to see any varsity action. Fans won’t need a program to know who the “rover” linebacker is. Senior captain Steve Erzinger has started the last 25 games at the position. Erzinger worked in the middle during spring drills, but starts preseason practice in his familiar position. The Houston native finished second on the team in 2010 with 76 tackles, including 4.5 for loss, and

RETURNING LINEBACKERS
STEVEN ERZINGER Senior Bill Prosko and Justin Schaaf will battle for the backup spots. Both players drew action in all 13 games last season. Prosko made 16 tackles, while Schaaf added two stops in a primarily special teams role.
DEFENSIVE BACKS The cornerback position could be considered the most experienced spot on the Army depth chart. A pair of players with starting experience return to anchor the pass defense. At field corner, junior Josh Jackson returns after playing in all 13 games, including 10 starts, a year ago. Jackson led the corners in 2010 with 33 tackles. He also made an interception and broke up two passes. Senior Antuan Aaron returns to handle the boundary corner duties. Aaron recorded 27 stops and two pass breakups while fighting injuries that limited him to nine games during his junior season. Junior Waverly Washington, a special teams stalwart in 2010, is the primary backup behind Jackson, while senior James Whittington will compete for time behind Aaron. While the cornerback corps is stocked with experience, a set of fresh faces will handle the duties at both strong and free safety. The three players listed at strong safety on the post-spring depth chart have a combined five games of playing experience. Sophomore Lyle Beloney did not play in a game as a freshman, but impressed the coaching staff enough during spring drills to be listed on top of the two-deep. Sophomore Reggie Nesbit played in four games last season as a linebacker, but moved to the “sam” position during this past spring. Junior Robert Speidel played in one game as a rookie, but did not draw any field duty in 2010. A pair of promising youngsters will vie for playing time at the free safety position vacated by Travis. Sophomore Tyler Dickson appeared in three games a year ago, while classmate Thomas Holloway made his collegiate debut in the bowl win over SMU.

SPECIAL TEAMS OUTLOOK Army will also have to re-make some special teams units hit hard by graduation. The Black Knights lost punter Jonathan Bulls and kickoff specialist Matthew Campbell, along with dependable long snapper Carson Homme. The one familiar face among the specialists is kicker Alex Carlton. Carlton finished the season with 11 consecutive field goals and enters his senior season already ranked third in Army history with 33 field goals. Carlton will battle junior Eric Osteen for the kickoff duties handled by Campbell last season. In the punting game, Kolin Walk and Chris Boldt are locked in a battle to replace Bulls. Neither has ever kicked in collegiate game. Walk has been utilized as Carlton’s holder in each of the last two seasons. While the players kicking the ball in 2011 will feature some new faces, the Black Knights have plenty of experience in the return game. Josh Jackson returns after serving as Army’s main

ARMY FOOTBALL | HEAD COACH RICH ELLERSON
RICH ELLERSON (HAWAI’I, 1977) 3RD SEASON AT ARMY: 12-13 (.480) 12TH SEASON OVERALL: 72-54 (.571) At the end of each practice during Rich Ellerson’s first two seasons, the Black Knights broke the final team huddle by repeating the phrase, “Stay together. Bring it back.” Mission accomplished. Ellerson brought winning football back to West Point in 2010 when he became just the second coach in Army history to win a postseason game. The Black Knights’ 16-14 win over SMU in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl secured Army’s first winning season since 1996. 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. Former West Point Superintendent Lt. Gen. Buster L. Hagenbeck said Ellerson’s proven record of success, strong leadership qualities and thorough knowledge of the triple-option offense played a large role in his selection as Army’s new football field boss.
“Rich has the experience we need,” said Hagenbeck at the time of Ellerson’s hiring. “An award and title winning head coach who runs the option, Rich also has extensive ties to West Point and the Army. Not only are his father and two brothers members of the Long Gray Line and career Army officers, but his brother John was the Captain of the 1962 team that went 6-4.” It didn’t take long for Ellerson to put the Black Knights back on the path back to success. A finalist for the 2010 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award, Ellerson has produced more victories in his first two seasons than any Army coach since Tom Cahill won 16 games during the 1966 and 1967 seasons. In his first season on the banks of the Hudson, he led the squad to a 5-7 record, the most wins for the program in 13 seasons and came 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). The Black Knights built on that success in 2010, posting a 7-6 mark and earning the programs’ first postseason win since the 1985 Peach Bowl. Army’s triple option produced the nation’s eighth-ranked rushing attack (251.62 yds/game), while its 3,271 total rushing yards were the 10th most in program history. Defensively, the Black Knights ranked third in the nation in turnover margin (+1.23/game) while keeping five opponents to 21 points or less. His success at West Point comes as no surprise. 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 during his tenure at Cal Poly. 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 Sutton in installing his “Desert Swarm” defense at West Point, a stop unit that helped carry the Black Knights to a 10-2 record and a berth in the Independence Bowl in 1996. Cal Poly closed the year at 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 3635 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’ current streak of six consecutive winning seasons marks their longest span since ripping off 13 straight winning records from 1968 to 1980. Cal Poly has captured three of 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 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. In 11 years as a collegiate head coach overall, Ellerson boasts a 72-54 record (.571). 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 last fall. 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
ARMY FOOTBALL | HEAD COACH RICH ELLERSON 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 last decade at the University of Arizona when he created the pressure, gap-control “Desert Swarm” defensive scheme.

One year before its 2008 breakout showing, Cal Poly finished 7-4 in 2007, and finished in third place in the Great West Football Conference standings. Barden became the fifth Mustang in as many years to land a spot on the American Football Coaches Association All-America Team and swept every other first-team award as he caught 57 passes for 1,467 yards and 18 touchdowns. Cal Poly ranked first nationally in total offense, fifth in rushing offense and sixth in scoring offense en route to a No. 24 final ranking by The Sports Network. Junior center Stephen Field also was an AllAmerican and 13 Mustangs were named to one of the Great West Football Conference all-star teams. Cal Poly scored 30 or more points seven times, broke or tied 18 all-time school records. Ellerson’s 2006 Mustang squad narrowly missed its second straight NCAA FCS playoff berth. Linebacker Kyle Shotwell became the third Mustang in as many years to win the Buck Buchanan Award, which is presented to the Defensive Player of the Year in the FCS, and played in the East-West Shrine Game. James Noble became the first running back in Cal Poly history to rush for over 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons, Chris White was named to the American Football Coaches Association AllAmerica Team and the Mustangs’ defense posted three shutouts as the team finished ranked No. 16 nationally by The Sports Network. Twelve different Mustangs earned All-Great West honors and three were accorded All-America citations. One year earlier, Cal Poly finished 9-4 and earned a berth in the 2005 FCS playoffs, reaching the quarterfinal round before falling at Texas State. The Mustangs won five of six games against Big Sky Conference schools, the most in school history, and went 6-0 at home. Defensive end Chris Gocong earned the Buck Buchanan Award and played in the EastWest Shrine Game. Gocong also was named to the AFCA All-America Team, following David Richardson in 2003 and Jordan Beck in 2004. Beck (Atlanta Falcons, 2005) and Gocong (Philadelphia Eagles, 2006) were both chosen in the third round of the NFL Draft in successive years. A total of 17 Mustangs were named to the 2005 All-Great West first or second team all-star units and six earned All-America honors. Ellerson, meanwhile, attracted national attention as he was chosen as a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award. In 2004, Cal Poly finished 9-2 overall and posted a 4-1 league record, capturing the inaugural Great West Football Conference championship. Cal Poly won its first seven games overall, closed the year with the school’s highest victory total in seven years and ended ranked 15th nationally (after ranking as high as fifth during the course of the season). Beck was one of nine Mustangs to earn first or second team All-Great West laurels. Cal Poly notched a 6-5 record during Ellerson’s first year at the controls in 2001, delivering the Mustangs’ first winning season since 1997. Cal Poly also dramatically improved a defense that ranked near the bottom of the FCS in 2000 (279.0 yards rushing per game). In Ellerson’s first year in charge, the Mustangs finished the regular season ranked 26th nationally in the category, yielding just 122.6 yards rushing per game. Cal Poly’s pass defense was just as stingy, allowing only 213.0 yards passing per game. Using the same “Desert Swarm” system that Ellerson had installed at Arizona, Cal Poly’s defense wreaked havoc on opposing offenses all season as the Mustangs finished the regular season ranked sixth nationally in turnover margin at 1.6 per game. Ellerson’s squad posted a plus-13 in the turnover

In 2002, Cal Poly faced a challenging schedule with a pair of Division I FBS opponents and four Big Sky Conference members. The Mustangs slipped to 3-8 for the fourth time in five years, but won three of their final six games after an 0-5 start. Four of the losses were not decided until the game’s final moments. Cal Poly began its current run of six consecutive winning seasons in 2003, posting a 7-4 mark. The Mustangs closed the year ranked 24th nationally in rushing defense, 30th in rushing offense, 58th in total offense and 29th in total defense among the 123 Division I-AA schools. Individually, Beck was a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award and David Richardson was named to the AFCA Division I-AA AllAmerica Team. 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 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

Southern Utah University, 1996 Head Coach (4-7) 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 tripleoption 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 (1991-93) for Hawai’i during that time. Ellerson became intimately famil-

iar with the triple-option ingenuity of Johnson during those years. He would successfully install the highpowered 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.
“I will never receive, nor have I ever received a finer compliment professionally or personally than to be entrusted with the Army football program at this point in its history,” Ellerson offers. “I grew up with Army Football. I was part of a typical Army family. When I was a kid, I was watching those guys at West Point, my father was a West Point graduate and we were living on Army posts all over the world. I just grew up thinking that West Point was the center of the universe. It’s a little bit of a catharsis. “I know that the offense that we run was the hook that got me into the middle of the coaching search. The reason the offense is so successful and the reason it’s so appropriate at Army is that it carries over to every phase of the game and carries over into recruiting. We’re going to find some novel solutions to problems in order to give our cadet-athletes the best possible opportunity to be successful on Saturday. We’re going to recruit and develop people that are absolutely in lock-step with the mission of the Military Academy and can be successful on Saturday. It may be a bit unique, but that’s okay. All that matters is getting the scoreboard right in the end.” Lauded for his ability to transform Cal Poly into a consistent winner, Ellerson expects to apply the same approach he used with the Mustang program to getting Army’s football fortunes turned in a positive direction. “Now that I am on the inside, we are going to find a way to be successful,” Ellerson stressed at his introductory press conference. “I don’t know exactly what that picture is yet because I don’t know enough about the team that we have. I need to get smarter about the raw material that we have to work with. I do know that I can surround myself with the right kind of coaches and we will come up with a plan, given the resources and challenges in front of us, to give ourselves a great chance to be successful from the get-go. What form that is going to take, I can’t say right now. There’s too much to find out. Every football player and every football team in America wants to win. We need to win. It’s just a whole other order of urgency. We need to.” Ellerson, who turned 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, 32, Shea, 28, Leta, 25, and Andrew, 18, and one granddaughter, Betty, 2.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT RICH ELLERSON “Rich is an excellent football coach whose football mind speaks for itself. He’s an individual that wants to be at West Point. He thinks there’s something very important about Army winning on the football field as it carries over into the total military. I’m very high on Rich as a person, as a coach and as an individual that will do everything in his power to have a successful program at West Point.” — Jim Young, former Army head coach (1983-90) “Army just hired the best football coach in the country. If there was ever a perfect fit in your situation, Rich is it. I know all the obvious family ties, but I’m really not talking about all those things. I’m talking about the fact that I have such a high regard for Rich as a football coach, but even more so as a competitor. He’s just a tough ‘son of a gun’ that will find any way he can to compete, and I just know that he will do very, very well at West Point. I couldn’t be more thrilled for him and his family. “When we were at Arizona, Rich was part of as good a defensive staff as there was in the country at that time. We played great defense and Rich was a huge part of that. He’s taken it to a whole new level by putting in the spread-option attack at Cal Poly and making that offense his own. Very seldom do you get someone with that level of expertise on both sides of the ball. He’s highly intelligent, but as I say, such a great competitor. If you’d ever played him one-on-one in anything, you’d know that. I just think this is such an exciting thing, because I know that Army is in a situation where you want to be more competitive, and I think you’ve made the right hire. I have no question that in an appropriate length of time, West Point is going to see tremendous growth in its program.” — Dick Tomey, former head coach at Hawai’i (1977-86), Arizona (1987-2000) and San Jose State (2005-09) “In terms of the X’s and O’s, Rich is a guy that has been involved in offense, defense and special teams. He was really the one behind the whole ‘Desert Swarm’ defense at the University of Arizona. It was Rich that brought that whole concept. That concept was different to college football, and it really became a national defense. His history is a lot like Jim Young’s. Jim was a defensive coach at the University of Michigan, and when he became a head coach he got involved in the offensive side of the game. That’s what Rich did at Cal Poly. He is a very passionate football coach who is very demanding, but very fair. His players just love him to death because they know he has their best interest at heart. He wants to make sure they are able to be positive and contributing members of society when they leave the university. He talks and teaches about growing men. It’s not just about X’s and O’s and first downs. It’s about more than that. I think a lot of that is his military background. Trying to find acts of selflessness is always something he teaches. I’ve known him since we were in college, and he has talked about this job ever since then. It’s West Point – it’s the job he has always targeted. I could tell by talking to him leading up to it, that he was very ready to take this job over.” — Duane Akina, Asst. Head Coach/Defensive Backs Coach, University of Texas “I know that Rich has always had a love for the Academy and for West Point. I knew that if he ever had an opportunity at some point in his career that it would be a perfect fit. My son, Tyler, played for him at Cal Poly. There is nobody I would rather have mentoring my son, not only in football. To have Rich Ellerson watching over my son at Cal Poly was very comforting because I knew that my son would be very well taken care of and required to be a good student, a good person, to follow rules and to do things as Rich set them up. There is nobody I would rather send my son to than Rich Ellerson. When your kid goes away, whether it is three hours away or across the country, you want to know that the man in charge is going to have a real positive influence on your son, and I knew that Rich was that person.” — Steve Mariucci, former NFL head coach and current NFL Network analyst “I am thrilled with the news that Rich Ellerson will be the new Army football coach. Being an ‘Army Brat’ with a dad and two brothers as graduates, he is familiar with the atmosphere and the challenges facing the cadets each day. He is a proven winner as a head coach, winning in an environment that is not unlike what he will find at West Point. In Rich Ellerson, we have someone who is an expert on both sides of the ball and knows how to get the job done. The triple-option expertise that he owns will be particularly important. Here’s a man bringing in a lot of passion for the job, someone that has always wanted to be the Army coach.” — Rollie Stichweh, former Army quarterback (1962-64) “I’m excited about Rich Ellerson’s selection as Army’s new head football coach. He’s got ties to the Military Academy, with his father and two brothers having graduated from West Point. I like the fact that Coach Ellerson has taken a program that’s been down and turned it around at Cal Poly. He’s a winner and that’s what we need. We need to bring back the winning tradition at Army. We need to get that back. The United States Military Academy at West Point represents our country and the football team represents our country.” — Ronnie McAda, former Army quarterback (1993-96)

ANDY GUYADER — WIDE RECEIVERS 3RD SEASON AT ARMY CAL POLY, 1997 high-powered 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 all-league 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 learnerbased 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 THE GUYADER FAMILY: ANDY, BRENDA AND CLAIRE 1997, earning a bachelor’s
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 yardagegainers on any play from scrimmage in Cal Poly’s

CAPTAIN CLARENCE HOLMES — DEFENSIVE TACKLES 9TH 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 ninth year along the Black Knights’ sideline and enters his eighth 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 alltime 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 four children: daughter, Isabelle, and sons, Elijah, Ovadyah and Ephraim.

ROBERT LYLES — WHIP LINEBACKERS 5TH SEASON AT ARMY TCU, 1984 A former standout linebacker at Texas Christian University, Robert Lyles is in his third season working with the Army whip linebackers in head coach Rich Ellerson’s double-eagle flex defense. Lyles spent the previous two 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. Rodriguez was one of Army’s top playmakers, also racking up 1.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions, three pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. An eight-year National Football League veteran, Lyles served tenures with both the Houston Oilers (1984-89) and Atlanta Falcons (1990-91) in the professional ranks. Following his departure from the Falcons, Lyles continued his professional playing career in the Arena Football League, spending a year with both the Tampa Bay Storm (1994) and Memphis Pharaohs (1995). Lyles began his coaching career in 1995, spending a year with the AFL’s Memphis Pharaohs as special teams coordinator and linebackers coach. He accepted a position with the Portland Forest Dragons the following year, serving as defensive coordinator from 1996 to 1998. Lyles went on to fill the same role for the Los Angeles Avengers one year later.
The defensive-minded Lyles was named the Avengers’ interim head coach four games into the 2001 season and guided the club to a 5-6 record the remainder of the year. Under Lyles, the Avengers ranked first in the AFL in total defense (allowing an average of 249.4 yards per game) in 2001, and second in passing defense (231.5 yards). Los Angeles was also listed first among Arena Football League teams in scoring defense (39.3) that season. Lyles was named head coach of the AFL’s Georgia Force the following year and shouldered those duties for the first five games of the 2002 campaign. In addition to his vast coaching experience in the Arena Football League, Lyles spent two seasons working in National Football League training camps under the NFL’s Minority Coach Fellowship Program. Current and former NFL head coaches such as Herman Edwards (New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs) and Marvin Lewis (Cincinnati Bengals) have also taken part in the program in the past. Lyles served as an assistant coach for one season at San Bernardino Valley College in 2003 prior to his final tour in the Arena Football League as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for the Grand Rapids Rampage. He remained with the Rampage for the 2004 and 2005 campaigns before shifting back to the high school level where he served coaching stints at View Park Charter School (2005) and AB Miller High (2006). A high-energy member of the Army coaching staff, Lyles is single and currently resides at West Point.

GENE McKEEHAN — ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH/GUARDS & CENTERS 3RD 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 has made an immediate impact on the offensive front in his first two seasons. The Black Knights boasted the 16th-best rushing offense in the nation in 2009 and improved to eighth in the national rankings in 2010. Army allowed the thirdfewest sacks among the nation’s 120 NCAA FBS squads in both of his first two campaigns. 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 spreadoption 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.

JOHN MUMFORD — DEFENSIVE ENDS 12TH SEASON AT ARMY PITTSBURG STATE, 1979 A long-time veteran of the college coaching ranks, John Mumford returns for his 12th season on the Army sidelines. A member of four different head coach’s staffs at West Point, Mumford served as Army’s defensive coordinator from 2004-08. First appointed to that role by Bobby Ross prior to the 2004 season, Mumford filled the same position for Stan Brock in 2007-08. He turned his focus on Army’s defensive ends in 2009. In his first season with Rich Ellerson’s double-eagle flex defense, Mumford tutored Josh McNary to one of the most productive seasons in Army history. McNary registered an Academy-record four sacks at Temple en route to an season record 12.5 quarterback takedowns. McNary ranked fourth in the nation in sacks per game (1.04) and was tied for second in the country in tackles for loss per game (1.88). McNary tacked on another 10 sacks in 2010, becoming the only player in Army history to have two double-digit seasons in that category. He graduated from West Point as the program’s all-time leader in both sacks (28) and tackles for loss (49). 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. In 1981, Kansas earned a berth in the Hall of Fame Bowl. Mumford, 54, moved on to South Dakota in 1982, filling the roles of defensive line coach and strength coach. He worked with the Coyotes’ inside linebackers from 1983 to 1985, doubling as South Dakota’s recruiting coordinator before being named defensive coordinator in 1986. The Coyotes advanced to the NCAA Division II semifinals in 1985 and reached the National Championship game the following year.

PAYAM SAADAT — CO-DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR/LINEBACKERS 3RD SEASON AT ARMY WASHINGTON STATE, 1994 Payam Saadat was named Army’s codefensive coordinator and linebackers coach shortly after Rich Ellerson’s hiring as head coach in January 2009. A member of Ellerson’s staff at Cal Poly for five years, Saadat held the title of defensive coordinator for the Mustangs in his last three seasons. 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. In 2010, the Black Knights again stood among the nation’s leaders, ranking 29th in total defense and third in the country in turnover margin. Army’s 30 takeaways tied for the 12th most in the nation. The Black Knights held four of their 2010 opponents to 21 points or less, including the program’s first shutout since 2005. 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. Saadat departed Cal Poly following the 1997 season and signed on at Western Washington University, where he worked with the defensive line and special teams for six years (1998-2003). 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). Cal Poly ranked first and second nationally, in those categories, respectively, that season. Cal Poly increased its school-record sack total to 62 the following year (2005) and retained its No. 1 national ranking in the category.

IAN SHIELDS — OFFENSIVE COORDINATORS/QUARTERBACKS 3RD SEASON AT ARMY OREGON STATE, 1994 Head coach Rich Ellerson named Ian Shields Army’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in January 2009. Shields came to West Point with Ellerson after completing his second stint as the Cal Poly offensive coordinator in 2008. In his first season at West Point, Shields was responsible for coordinating the nation’s 16th-best rushing attack and mentored freshman Trent Steelman to the most productive campaign by a rookie quarterback in West Point history. Steelman was the first Army freshman to start 12 games in a season and the first plebe signal caller to register two 100-yard rushing games. In its second season under Shields’ guidance, the Army offense boasted the eighth-best rushing offense in the nation and its 3,271 rushing yards were the 10th most in Academy history. Army scored 34 rushing touchdowns, tied for the seventh most in Army football annals, while its 26.6 points per game represented the team’s highest scoring average since 1996. Under Shield’s watchful eye, Steelman continued his progression under center, posting the eighth highest single season total offense mark in Academy history. He was responsible for 18 touchdowns (11 rushing/7 passing), the fifth-best total in a season at West Point. Under Shields’ direction in 2008, the Mustangs established school records for first downs (262), first downs rushing (162), points scored (488) and touchdowns (67). Shields’ offense scored at least 49 points in six of 11 contests, topping the 50-point barrier three times, including a season-high 69 points in a home defeat of Southern Utah. Cal Poly scored in 41 of its 44 quarters of action in 2008. 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). Shields’ 2008 offense was led by quarterback Jonathan Daily who led the nation in passing efficiencey (171.6) in 2008. He was a first-team All-
Great West Conference pick after throwing for 23 touchdowns while throwing only five interceptions. He also rushed for 11 scores. Shields also helped mold wide receiver Ramses Barden. Barden caught 67 passes for 1,257 yards and 18 touchdowns on his way 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. He was selected by the New York Giants in the third round of the 2009 National Football League Draft. Shields, who also served as Cal Poly’s co-offensive coordinator in 2004 and 2005, departed San Luis Obispo in 2006 when he began a two-year stint as head coach at Eastern Oregon University (200607), the first two years the program competed in the scholarship Frontier League of NAIA. Shields led the Mountaineers to a 6-5 finish in 2006, winning their last three games. Prior to that year, the Frontier coaches had picked EOU to finish in last place. As co-offensive coordinator at Cal Poly during his previous two seasons with the Mustangs, Shields was instrumental in developing a dynamic spreadoption offensive attack and guiding Cal Poly to its first NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoff berth and victory in 2005. That year, the Mustang offense averaged 27.2 points and 352.8 yards per game as Cal Poly posted a 9-4 record and reached the quarterfinal round of the national playoffs. Cal Poly’s offense generated 30.2 points and 387.2 yards a contest in 2004, racing to a 9-2 record and the first of two Great West Football Conference championships. A 1994 graduate of Oregon State University and former quarterback for the Beavers, Shields served a one-year term as offensive coordinator at Bucknell University in 2003. The Bison recorded the biggest single-season turnaround in Patriot League history that season, leading the league in rushing, passing efficiency, turnover margin, fewest penalties against and fewest sacks against. A native Oregonian, Shields began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Oregon State. He
IAN SHIELDS worked with the Beavers’ linebackers, tight ends, quarterbacks and running backs, while assisting with OSU’s special teams during that three-season (1994-96) stay. He moved on to Eastern Oregon for the first time in 1997, assuming offensive coordinator duties for three years (1997-99). 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). St. Mary’s finished in the top five nationally in rushing offense each of those seasons. In his first season at St, Mary’s, Shields helped the Gaels shatter single season school records in rushing yards (3404), touchdowns (50) and first downs (233). St. Mary’s also established single game school standards in scoring (71 points) and rushing yards (535). Shields, who lettered three times in football and twice in baseball at Oregon State, was elected team captain of the gridiron squad during his final campaign.

In all, Smeland boasts 26 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. In 2010, the Black Knights again stood among the nation’s leaders, ranking 29th in total defense and third in the country in turnover margin. Army’s 30 takeaways tied for the 12th most in the nation. The Black Knights held four of their 2010 opponents to 21 points or less, including the program’s first shutout since 2005. Under Smeland’s tutelage, free safety Donovan Travis intercepted a team-high five passes in 2010, finishing his Army career with During his most recent stop at Michigan State, the Spartans’ defense played a major role in the team’s remarkable turnaround in 2003.

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 touch-
downs. 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).

AllAmerica safety Anthony Floyd led the NCAA with 10 interceptions that season. During a three-year stint as defensive coordinator at Utah State under Smith from 1995 to 1997, the Aggies won consecutive Big West Conference crowns in 1996-97. Smeland tutored six first-team All-Big West selections. In 1997, Utah State led the Big West in every defensive category and finished ranked 25th nationally in rushing defense, allowing only 115.6 yards per game. In 1995, the Aggies also ranked among league leaders in every defensive category - finishing second in total defense, second in passing defense and third in rushing defense. Utah State allowed fewer than 16 points per game in conference play. A 1974 graduate of Cal Poly, Smeland earned allconference and All-Little Coast honors as a senior member of the Mustangs’ football program.

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 AllWAC selections during his tenure, including nose guard Maa Tanuvasa (1992) and linebacker Junior Faavae (1994). Prior to his term at Hawai’i, Smeland served as defensive coordinator at Kent State University (198890) and Cal Poly (1982-87).

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 All-Gateway 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
TUCKER WAUGH 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.

MAJ. CHAD BAGLEY — DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS 6TH SEASON AT ARMY WEST POINT, 1995 Maj. Chad Bagley is in his sixth season with the Army football program, and second year as the Director of Football Operations. Bagley served as the Deputy Director of Football Operations for the previous four seasons.

A 1995 graduate of West Point, Bagley was a fouryear member of the Black Knights’ golf team, earning three varsity letters during his tenure in the Black, Gold and Gray. He earned All-Patriot League honors as a junior and served as the Black Knights’ team captain during his final campaign. Bagley filled in as Army’s interim head golf coach last fall. Commissioned in the Field Artillery branch of the U.S. Army following graduation, Bagley served tours at Ft. Drum (1995-98) and Ft. Stewart (1999-2002) before returning to West Point. He earned a master’s degree in counseling and leader development from Long Island University in 2003, before assuming duties as a tactical officer and regimental executive officer in USMA’s Brigade Tactical Department. He has attended Air Assault School, Field Artillery Officer Basic Course, Armor Captains Career Course and the Combined Armed Service Staff School.
Following the 2007 season, Bagley served in Iraq for a six-month deployment. He returned in time to resume his duties at West Point for the 2008 football campaign. Bagley and his wife, Susan, reside at West Point with their three children: sons, William and Andrew, and daughter, Anne.

ARMY FOOTBALL | 2011 BLACK KNIGHT NOTEBOOK ROAD WARRIORS
Army will put its road winning streak on the line in the season opener at Northern Illinois. The Black Knights’ victory over SMU in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas marked the program’s sixth straight win on an opponent’s home field. It is the Black Knights’ longest winning streak in their opponent’s home stadium since a six-game winning streak over the 1966 and 1967 seasons. During the current run, Army has lost to Navy twice at Lincoln Financial Field, Rutgers at the New Meadowlands Stadium and Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium. Under head coach Rich Ellerson, Army is 7-3 in true road games. The Black Knights were 4-15 on opponents’ home fields from 2005-08. Army’s win over SMU marked the first time that the Black Knights won five road games in a season since 1954.
POSTSEASON PLANNING
THE BLACK KNIGHTS PLAY THE FIRST GAME IN THE “ARMY AT YANKEE STADIUM SERIES” WHEN THEY TAKE ON RUTGERS ON NOV. 12. ARMY PLAYED IN THE BRONX LAST SEASON VERSUS NOTRE DAME.
STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE
BCS STREAK ON THE LINE
Army will be tested early and often in 2011. The Black Knights’ first three games are versus opponents that won at least seven games and made bowl appearances last season. Army opens at Northern Illinois, last season’s Mid-American Conference West Division champion. The Huskies went 11-3 and defeated Fresno State in the Humanitarian Bowl. The next week brings San Diego State to West Point for the home opener. The Aztecs were 9-4 in 2010, scoring a victory over Navy in the Poinsettia Bowl. The grueling stretch wraps up with a visit from Northwestern. The Wildcats were 7-6 overall a year ago, losing to Texas Tech in the Ticket City Bowl. Overall, Army will play six teams that went to bowl games last season, including four squads that were victorious in its postseason appearance.
Army will play three teams from BCS automaticqualifying conferences in 2011. The Black Knights will face Northwestern from the Big Ten on Sept. 17 at Michie Stadium, Vanderbilt from the Southeastern Conference on Oct. 22 in Nashville and Rutgers from the Big East on Nov. 12 at Yankee Stadium. Army has defeated a team from a BCS league in each of Rich Ellerson’s two seasons. The Black Knights scored an overtime win against the Commodores at West Point in 2009 and earned a road win at ACC-foe Duke last season. Since the Bowl Championship Series was implemented, Army owns three wins against automatic-qualifying conferences. The Black Knights won at Baylor from the Big XII Conference on Sept. 23, 2006.
Army has a primary tie-in with the 2011 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. If the Black Knights win six games prior to their annual match up with Navy, they will earn a berth in the game that will be held at San Francisco’s AT&T Park on Saturday, Dec. 31. The game is scheduled to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET and will be televised to a national audience by ESPN. The 2011 match up will pit the Black Knights against a team from the Pac-12 Conference. Should the Pac-12 not have enough bowl eligible teams, the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl has agreements with the MAC, ACC and WAC to provide a replacement team. Army also has bowl tie-ins locked down for the 2012 (Military Bowl) and 2013 (Poinsettia Bowl).
DO IT AGAIN Army’s appearance in the 2010 Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl marked the Black Knights first postseason game since 1996. Army has not played in two straight bowl games since the 1984 Cherry Bowl and the 1985 Peach Bowl. Those two seasons also mark the last time Army won bowl games in back-to-back seasons.
RETURN TO THE BRONX The Black Knights are slated to play at Yankee Stadium for the second straight season. The 2011 matchup with Rutgers on Nov. 12 is the first in the “Army at Yankee Stadium Series.” Other games in the series include Air Force on Nov. 3, 2012 and Boston College on Nov. 8, 2014. Army will serve as the home team for all three games, with CBS Sports Network televising the games to a national audience. Army and Notre Dame met in the Bronx last season in the first college football game played at the new Yankee Stadium. The Fighting Irish served as the home team for that contest.
MID-AMERICAN ROAD TRIP Four of Army’s 12 opponents in 2011 hail from the Mid-American Conference. The Black Knights will face all four MAC foes on the road, starting with Northern Illinois in the season opener. It is the third straight season Army has played at least three games against MAC opponents and the sixth straight year it has played at least one team from the league. The Northern Illinois game will represent the fifth straight season the Black Knights have opened against a team from the MAC (Akron, 2007; Temple, 2008; Eastern Michigan, 2009, 2010). Army is 4-2 against the MAC under Rich Ellerson and have posted an 8-8 record versus MAC competition since 2005. Army is a combined 9-6 all-time against its 2011 MAC opponents (Ball State, 2-0; Miami, 2-2; Northern Illinois, 1-0; Temple, 4-4).
102 | 2011 ARMY FOOTBALL
ARMY’S 2010 BELL HELICOPTER ARMED FORCES BOWL VICTORY WAS THE PROGRAM’S FIRST POSTSEASON WIN SINCE 1985. THE BLACK KNIGHTS HAVE NOT MADE CONSECUTIVE BOWL APPEARANCES SINCE 1984 (CHERRY BOWL) AND 1985 (PEACH BOWL).
ARMY FOOTBALL | 2011 BLACK KNIGHT NOTEBOOK PRESEASON HONORS Junior FB Jared Hassin and senior LB Steven Erzinger were both named to the Phil Steele’s College Football Preview 2011 Preseason All-Independent First Team. The duo was two of four Black Knight players that earned a total of five first or secondteam honors. In addition to Hassin and Erzinger, junior CB Josh Jackson was named to the second team on both defense and as a punt returner. Senior PK Alex Carlton was also a second-team selection.
LEAVING A LEGACY Senior LB Steven Erzinger was named the Black Knights’ “legacy captain” during spring drills. Erzinger was chosen by last season’s senior class to best carry on the legacy and the tradition that they’ve helped create. In addition to Erzinger, Army will follow a similar model to last season. Each of the first six games will feature different senior captains on a rotating basis. The team will then choose permanent captains for the second half of the season.
BROTHERLY LOVE
SENIOR LB STEVEN ERZINGER WAS CHOSEN A “LEGACY CAPTAIN” PRIOR TO SPRING PRACTICE. ERZINGER WAS SELECTED BY THE BLACK KNIGHTS’ 2010 SENIORS TO HELP CARRY ON THE TRADITION THEY HELPED BUILD.
TURNAROUND SPECIAL Army head coach Rich Ellerson has won 12 games in his first two seasons, including last year’s 7-6 mark that marked the program’s best record since 1996. Ellerson is the first Army coach to win at least a dozen games in his first two seasons since Tom Cahill won 16 times in 1966 (8-2) and 1967 (8-2). Army won a total of nine games in the three seasons prior to Ellerson’s arrival.
A SECOND MILLENIUM Junior FB Jared Hassin rushed for a team-high 1,013 yards in 2010. He became only the second Army sophomore to reach the 1,000-yard mark (Mike Mayweather). Mayweather (1988-90) and Carlton Jones (2004-05) are the only players in Army history to boast multiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Hassin was named to the preseason watch list for the 2011 Maxwell Award, which annually honors the nation’s top player.
LOOKING SHARP Army will be one of only nine teams in the nation to be outfitted with uniquely designed, highly advanced Nike uniforms for at least one game during the 2011 season. The Black Knights will wear the specially-made uniforms during the 112th edition of the Army-Navy Game presented by USAA on Dec. 10 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. The fully integrated uniform system, which the University of Oregon debuted during the 2010 BCS National Championship Game, incorporates the latest in performance innovation and design from the world’s most renowned athletic outfitter. The redesigned base layer facilitates the uniform’s overall innovation, delivering the ultimate in breathable protection for maximum speed. Strategically placed seams, pads and cooling zones also help minimize distraction and optimize protection.
The Black Knights have three sets of brothers on its current roster — sophomores Jordan and Julian Crockett, juniors A.J. and Jarett Mackey, and sophomre Corey and junior Zach Watts. The Crockett and Watts’ brothers are both sets of twins. Corey Watts attended Lafayette in 2008 and the U.S. Military Academy Prep School in 2009 before enrolling at West Point last season. Zach Watts entered West Point in 2009 after a season at Fork Union Military Academy. A.J. Mackey is 11 months older than Jarett. Both graduated from high school in 2008 and enrolled at West Point in 2009 after a season at the prep school. In addition, there are two players on the roster whose older siblings have played at West Point. Sophomore LB Justin Trimble is the third brother to play for the Black Knights. His oldest brother, Jeremy, graduated in 2008 as Army’s alltime leader in receptions and receiving yards. Older brother, Jordan, graduated this past spring and was a fixture in the Army secondary, earning Academic All-America accolades last season. Freshman DL MIke Ugenyi is the younger brother of Victory Ugenyi, a 2010 graduate who started three years along Army’s defensive front.
QUARTERBACK STREAK Junior QB Trent Steelman has started every game during his first two seasons at West Point. Steelman’s 25 consecutive starts is the program’s second longest since 1963. Leamon Hall holds the current mark with 30 straight starts from 1975-77. Steelman is the only Army freshman ever to start every game during a season (2009) and the only Army quartertback to start 13 games in a season. Steelman has won 12 of his 25 starts, accounting for more wins than any other Army quarterback since Ronnie McAda was under center for 16 wins from 1994-96.
PLEADING THE FIFTH Senior LB Kingsley Ehie is back for a fifth season at West Point. Ehie is slated to graduate in December, and has a year of eligibility remaining since he did not participate in a game during his 2007 rookie season.
JUNIOR FB JARED HASSIN HAS A CHANCE TO BECOME ONLY THE THIRD ARMY PLAYER EVER TO RUSH FOR 1,000 YARDS IN AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT SEASONS.

ARMY FOOTBALL | 2011 BLACK KNIGHT NOTEBOOK BALANCING ACT Four of the five players that led Army in rushing last season return to the lineup this season. Junior FB Jared Hassin led the team six times, while junior QB Trent Steelman topped the rushing ledger twice. Patrick Mealy (twice) is the only one not to return this season. Balance in the rushing game was a Black Knights’ hallmark in 2010. In the opener at Eastern Michigan, Army had four different players run for a minimum of 60 yards. It was the first time Army had four players each record at least 60 yards against a Football Bowl Subdivision team since Oct. 1, 1994 at Wake Forest. At Kent State, Army had a season-high four players account for its six rushing touchdowns. It was the first time four different players found the end zone via the rush against a Football Bowl Subdivision team since a 35-18 win against New Mexico State on Oct. 23, 1999.
JUST FOR KICKS
JUNIOR QB TRENT STEELMAN HAS STARTED ALL 25 GAMES SINCE ARRIVING AT WEST POINT. HIS 12 WINS AS A STARTER ARE THE MOST BY AN ARMY SIGNALL CALLER IN 15 YEARS.
YOUTHFUL EXUBERANCE
NATIONAL AUDIENCE
Army will experience a youth movement during the 2011 season. The Army roster contains only two players who have earned three varsity letters during their West Point career — senior CB Antuan Aaron and senior LB Steven Erzinger. Last year’s team featured seven players that had three letters entering the season. Of the 150 players on the current roster, 94 are freshmen or sophomores. Fifty-three players have yet to earn a varsity letter.
For the third consecutive season, CBS Sports Network will broadcast all of Army’s home games to a national audience. The 2011 CBSSN broadcast schedule also includes the Rutgers game at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 12. In addition to the home games, both of Army’s service-academy contests will be national telecasts. The game at Air Force on Nov. 5 will air on Versus, while the annual Army-Navy game can be seen on CBS.
AT THE START
LUCKY SEVEN
Army lost five starters on offense and seven starters on defense. Despite the losses, there are still a number of players on the roster with starting experience.

Army’s seven wins last season since the 1996 squad won 10 games. The Black Knights have not won at least seven games in consecutive seasons since the 1984 squad was 8-3-1 and the 1985 team posted a 9-3 mark.
Senior K Alex Carlton begins his final season with a chance to become the most prolific placekicker in Army history. Carlton has kicked 33 field goals over the last two seasons (33-46). He already ranks third on the Black Knights’ all-time ledger and is 15 field goals behind the leader (Craig Stopa). Carlton has made at least 15 field goals in each of the last two seasons. Carlton has led Army in scoring in each of the last two seasons. His career total of 143 points is only 14 shy of cracking the Black Knight’s all-time top 10. Carlton would be only the fourth kicker among the Black Knights’ all-time top 10. Stopa is Army’s all-time leader in points by a kicker with 250, which ranks second overall.
EARLY-SEASON SUCCESS Army has won its season opener in each of the past two seasons. The 2009 victory at Eastern Michigan snapped a 12-year losing streak that started in 1997. The Black Knights won seven straight season openers from 1990-96. Each of the Army’s four bowl seasons have started with a victory in the opener.

DYANMIC DUO Army returns one of the most prolific rushing duos in its history in junior QB Trent Steelman and junior FB Jared Hassin. Hassin led the team with 1,013 yards, while Steelman ranked second with 721 yards. Their combined 1,734 yards represent the seventh highest total in Academy history. The duo also combine for 20 of Army’s 34 rushing touchdowns.

ARMY FOOTBALL | ARMY-NAVY CLASSIC THE ARMY-NAVY CLASSIC GAME-BY-GAME
THE PAGENTRY OF THE ARMY-NAVY GAME HELPS MAKE IT ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED EVENTS OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON. √ The storied Army-Navy rivalry will enjoy its 112th edition this season when the Black Knights and Midshipmen tussle on Dec. 10 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. Only 10 Division I-A rivalries have featured more games than the ArmyNavy series. √ This revered series began when Cadet Dennis Mahan Michie accepted a “challenge” from Naval Academy Midshipmen for a football game against the Cadets. That first contest was held on “The Plain” at West Point on Nov. 29, 1890. The more experienced Mids, who had been playing organized football since 1879, defeated the Cadets 24-0. √ Eighty-three of the 111 Army-Navy games have been played within Philadelphia city limits. This year marks only the eighth time the Army-Navy Classic has been played outside Philadelphia annually since 1945. The 1983 game was played at the Rose Bowl, while the 1989, 1993, 1997 and 2001 confrontations took place at Giants Stadium. M&T Bank Stadium (formerly PSINet Stadium) in Baltimore played host to the classic in 2000 and 2007. This year’s game is the first to be hosted by Washington, D.C. √ FedEx Field is the 16th different site since the birth of the series in 1890. Those sites follow: West Point (3, at two locations), Annapolis (3), Palmer Stadium (1), Franklin Field (18), Polo Grounds (9), Baltimore Stadium (2), Soldier Field (1), Yankee Stadium (2), Municipal/John F. Kennedy Stadium (41), Veterans Stadium (17), Rose Bowl (1), Giants Stadium (4), M&T Bank Stadium (2), Lincoln Financial Field (6) and FedEx Field (1). √ The Army-Navy series has been tied on 13 occasions (five times since 1979). The latest tie came following Navy’s victory in 2004. The Mids’ win in 2005 gave Navy its first edge in the series since 1993. Until winning in 1980 to break a 37-37-6 stalemate, Navy had not led in the series standing since 1921, after just the 24th meeting between the academies. √ Further evidence of the rivalry’s competitive nature: only 323 points (2.9 ppg.) separate the teams through the Classic’s initial 111 pairings. Navy has scored 1,717 points (15.5), while Army has recorded 1,394 points (12.6). √ CBS Sports reaffirmed it’s committment to broadcasting the storied rivalry to a national audience with a new 10-year agreement beginning in 2009. The Army-Navy Classic will be the only college football game contested on the second Saturday in December, a departure from its recent history of being played a week earlier opposite several conference championship contests.

ARMY FOOTBALL | COMMANDER IN CHIEF’S TROPHY COMMANDER IN CHIEF’S TROPHY YEAR-BY-YEAR RESULTS
ARMY VISITED THE WHITE HOUSE FOLLOWING ITS 1986 AND 1996 COMMANDER IN CHIEF’S TROPHY VICTORIES. THE BLACK KNIGHTS HAVE WON SIX CIC TROPHIES OVERALL. Service academy supremacy is at stake on the gridiron each season when Army, Navy and Air Force battle in a round-robin schedule for the Commander in Chief’s Trophy. This year, the Trophy enters its 40th season as the pre-eminent indicator of football bragging rights among the three major service academies. Army’s most recent Commander in Chief’s Trophy title dates back to 1996, when the Black Knights assured that the Trophy would return to its original home by defeating arch-rival Navy 28-24 in Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. To help commemorate the Trophy’s 25th birthday, President Bill Clinton was on hand at “The Vet” to present the Black Knights with the glimmering silver Trophy following their come-from-behind victory. It marked the first time that a standing President attended an Army-Navy clash since Gerald Ford looked on in 1974 to see Navy defeat Army 19-0. Former President George W. Bush witnessed the Army-Navy game in person three times during his two terms in office, attending the classic in 2001, 2004 and 2008. Prior to 1996, Army had last acquired sole possession of the Trophy in 1988. In 1993, each team split its two academy games, marking only the fourth time that all three teams shared possession of the Trophy. Army captured the inaugural Commander in Chief’s Trophy by defeating Air Force, 17-14, and Navy, 23-15, in 1972. The Trophy has resided at West Point in 1972, 1977, 1984, 1986, 1988 and 1996. Navy, which ruled the 1970s, has acquired sole ownership of the trophy eight times since 1981. The Mids captured the hardware seven straight seasons from 2003-09 before Air Force claimed the 2010 series.
The Trophy is named in honor of the President of the United States as commander in chief of the armed forces. The three-sided structure, which weighs 170 pounds and stands 2 1/2 feet tall, is engraved with the seal of each academy and displays a reproduction of each school’s mascot. The year in which the Trophy is won is engraved on the appropriate academy’s side. The idea for the establishment of an interservice football trophy originated with the late Gen. George B. Simler, commander of the Air Training Command and a former Air Force Academy athletic director. The 1972 season was seen as an appropriate time to consider such an idea since it also marked the first season of the round-robin competition among the three teams. Simler proposed the idea to the USAFA Association of Graduates early in 1972. The Association, in turn, proposed the project to the alumni associations at West Point and Annapolis as suitable for joint sponsorship by the three institutions. Following formal adoption of the project, designs for the Trophy were sought from manufacturers. After Army’s inaugural title in 1972, Navy captured possession of the Trophy eight of the following nine years before Air Force first staked claim to the honor in 1982. The Trophy remained in the Falcons’ possession the following season when they swept the Black Knights and Midshipmen. Army recaptured the Trophy in 1984, its first outright title since 1977. The Black Knights begin the quest for this year’s CIC title on Nov. 5 when they travel to Air Force. Army will square off against Navy on Dec. 10 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.

The Black Knights improved to 22-7 when running for at least 300 yards since 1996. • Donovan Travis registered his first interception of the season. It marked the second straight year in which Travis notched a pick against EMU.
• The Black Knights dropped to 0-2 all-time versus the Warriors. It was Hawaii’s first trip to Michie Stadium and their first venture into New York State. • The Black Knights’ 28 points were their most in a loss since a 38-31 defeat at Rice on Nov. 8, 2008. • Army’s 21 points in the third quarter represented its highest-scoring period since a 21-point fourth quarter in a 44-13 win at Tulane on Oct. 4, 2008. • Army’s defense allowed only 10 rushing yards on 11 attempts.

ARMY FOOTBALL | ARMY FOOTBALL A TO Z
B•B•B •B•B•B BELL HELICOPTER ARMED FORCES BOWL
Army made its return to the postseason in 2010 with a 16-14 victory over SMU in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. It marked the first time Army played in a bowl game since 1996 and the program’s first bowl victory since a 1985 Peach Bowl win over Illinois. Stephen Anderson was named the Black Knights’ Most Outstanding Player after recording 14 tackles and intercepting a pass in his final collegiate game.
BICENTENNIAL
JORDAN TRIMBLE (LEFT) AND CARSON HOMME (RIGHT) WERE WERE NAMED TO THE ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA FIRST AND SECOND TEAMS, RESPECTIVELY IN 2010.
A•A•A •A•A•A ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAS
Seventeen different Army players (earning 19 different honors) have been named an Academic AllAmerica since the program’s inception in 1952. In 2010, Jordan Trimble and Carson Homme were first and second-team selections, respectively, marking the first time since 1990 that Army put two players on the Academic All-America Team.
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
Twenty different Black Knight players have garnered 27 Academic All-District I citations since 1989. Army has been represented on the District I club in 18 of the last 22 years. Since its inception in 2007, the Black Knights have had eight players named to the National Football Foundation Hampshire Society. The program honors players who complete their eligiibility with at least a 3.2 grade point average. In 2010, Army was the only service academy to place two players on the list.
ALMA MATER
The most beloved of all West Point songs, “Alma Mater” had its beginnings as a furlough song in 1908. It was sung at the Baccalaureate Service on June 9, 1912, and took its place as a musical expression of the feelings of every West Pointer toward his alma mater. It is sung by the football team and Corps of Cadets at the conclusion of every football game. The lyrics were changed in 2008 in order to make the song gender-neutral and better reflect the sacrifices and contributions made by West Point’s female graduates.
AMERICAN FORCES NETWORK
American Forces Network (AFN) will carry the Army Sports Network broadcast of the 2011 Army-Navy football game, presented by USAA. Part of American Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS), the American Forces Network provides stateside radio programing to American servicemen and servicewomen, Department of Defense civilians and family members serving outside the continental United States. AFN will also carry the CBS Sports television broadcast of the contest.
126 | 2011 ARMY FOOTBALL
ANDERSON, BOB
One of the great names in Army football history, Bob Anderson received the highest honor bestowed by his sport when he was elected to the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in 2004. One of 14 Army players to earn All-America honors on two occasions, Anderson graduated from West Point in 1960 as one of the finest running backs in the Black Knights’ long, illustrious history. Named to All-America squads during his sophomore (1957) and junior (1958) campaigns, Anderson appeared headed for a third consecutive citation before an injury shortened his senior season. Only three Army players have earned All-America honors three times. Anderson was elected to the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2006.
ARMY-NAVY
One of the most revered rivalries in all of sports will be revisited on Dec. 10, 2011, when Army and Navy clash in the service academies’ 112th grid battle hosted by Washington, D.C. It will mark the first time the game will be played at FedEx Field, home of the NFL’s Washington Redskins. As part of a new 10year broadcast agreement with CBS Sports reached in the fall of 2008, the game is played on the second Saturday in December to conclude college football’s regular season.
ARMY FOOTBALL TAILGATE SHOW
On March 16, 1802, President Thomas Jefferson signed into law a bill of the United States Congress authorizing the establishment of “a military academy to be located at West Point in the State of New York.” During 2002, the Bicentennial of the founding of the Academy was observed at West Point and at other designated places throughout the world. In addition to a host of high-profile events, a commemorative silver dollar and postage stamp were issued to honor the Academy.
BLACK KNIGHTS ALLEY
The “fan-fest” area located on the east side of Michie Stadium on Mills Road between the East stands and Lusk Reservoir on game days is known as “Black Knights Alley.” Black Knights Alley, which debuted in 2004, was completely revamped in 2008 and offers family entertainment for fans of all ages, particularly youngsters, as part of Army’s pregame festivities. Following the Cadet Review, fans are transported via bus to Black Knights Alley, which opens to the public approximately three hours prior to kickoff. Once there, fans can visit various photograph and autograph booths, enjoy inflatable activities courtesy of Coca-Cola, military hardware displays and a host of sponsor-related giveaways, listen to the sounds of local cover band Hudson Blue, and much more. Approximately two hours prior to kickoff, the Army football team, led by the Cadet Band and Rabble Rousers, marches through a cordon of cadets and Black Knight fans en route to the locker room.
BLACK LION AWARD
One of the most prestigious and important awards Army’s coaching staff hands out every year, the Black Lion Award is presented in memory of former Army football great Don Holleder, who was killed in combat in Vietnam on Oct. 17, 1967, and the men of the 28th Infantry Regiment (nicknamed the “Black Lions”), who died with him that day. Mike Gann became the sixth Army player to earn the award last season.
The fast-paced Army Football Tailgate Show originates from Black Knights Alley in front of Michie Stadium on game days, beginning two hours prior to kickoff. A video stream of the show is made available on Army’s official Web site (goARMYsports.com) via ITT Knight Vision. The show features interviews with fans, special guests and visits from the Cadet Band, Rabble Rousers and other dignitaries in attendance. The Army Football Tailgate Show is co-hosted by longtime Army broadcasters John Minko and Bob Outer.
BLAIK, EARL “RED”
ARMY SPORTS NETWORK
BLAIK FIELD AT MICHIE STADIUM
The Army Sports Network broadcasts more than 200 live events each year, providing comprehensive audio and video coverage of Army Athletics. The Army Sports Network features a four-station cluster for football, headlined by flagship station WABC (770AM, New York, N.Y.). Additionally, the Army Sports Network will broadcast Army home games in Spanish for the sixth consecutive year with those productions heard on WSNW (1430-AM, New York, N.Y.).
Earl “Red” Blaik was credited with elevating Army’s football program from the “pit to the pedestal” during the 1940s. In 18 years at the Black Knight helm, Blaik compiled a 121-33-10 record and remains the winningest grid coach in West Point history. Three of his teams captured national championships and seven were crowned Lambert Trophy titlists. He was inducted in the charter class of the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2004. One of the nation’s most venerable athletic facilities added a bit more nostalgia in 1999 when the playing surface at West Point’s majestic Michie Stadium was officially designated “Blaik Field,” in honor of legendary Army football coach and athletic director Earl “Red” Blaik. The official naming ceremonies took place during pregame festivities of Army’s home game versus Ball State on Sept. 25, 1999.
ARMY FOOTBALL | ARMY FOOTBALL A TO Z BLANCHARD, FELIX “DOC”
“Mr. Inside,” Felix “Doc” Blanchard, teamed with “Mr. Outside,” Glenn Davis, to form one of the most heralded backfields in the history of college football. A three-time All-America selection, Blanchard captured the Heisman Trophy in 1945, one year before Davis copped the honor. He was inducted in the charter class of the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2004. The Army Athletic Association retired Blanchard’s legendary uniform number 35 during a halftime ceremony on Oct. 10, 2009 when the Black Knights hosted Vanderbilt on “Felix ‘Doc’ Blanchard Day.” Blanchard passed away on April 19, 2009, at the age of 84.
BOBBLEHEAD
The Army Athletic Association (AAA) will produce bobblehead dolls to help celebrate the career of one of West Point’s all-time football greats this fall. An Earl “Red” Blaik bobblehead doll will be distributed to help celebrate the career of Army’s all-time winningest head coach on Oct. 1. The items will be distributed to the first 5,000 fans attending Army’s Homecoming game against Tulane that day. Pete Dawkins was the first Army player to have a bobblehead likeness produced by the AAA in 2008, followed by similar productions of Joe Steffy and Felix “Doc” Blanchard in 2009. Glenn Davis was honored with a bobblehead likeness last fall. The uniform numbers of Dawkins, Blanchard, Steffy and Davis have already been officially retired by the AAA.
BOWLS
Army sports a 3-2 record in five postseason bowl appearances. The Black Knights made their first postseason appearance in the 1984 Cherry Bowl, defeating Michigan State 10-6. Army’s five postseason appearances have been decided by a total of 12 points. All five games have been decided by four points or less.
BOWL TIE-INS
The Army Athletic Association owns postseason bowl tie-ins for each of the next three years. Should the Black Knights register six wins they would earn a berth to the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (formerly the Emerald Bowl) in 2011, EagleBank Bowl in 2012 and San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl in 2013.
C•C•C •C•C•C CADET COLORS

For the 16th straight year, CBS Sports will televise the Army-Navy Classic to a national audience in December. This year’s game will be played Dec. 10 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. The network signed a 10-year broadcast extension in 2008 and will televise the game nationally through the 2018 season.
CBS SPORTS NETWORK
CBS Sports Network and the Army Athletic Association reached an exclusive five-year agreement last summer, guaranteeing live television coverage of every Army home football game and select neutralsite games in which Army is the home team, on CBS Sports Network, beginning with the 2010 season and continuing through 2014. The deal was announced by Sean McManus, President, CBS News and Sports, and Kevin Anderson, former Director of Athletics at West Point, at a Yankee Stadium press conference on July 22, 2009. A major component of the agreement assures that all Army home football games will be played on Saturday afternoons beginning at either noon or 3:30 p.m. eastern time with all kickoff times to be set by May 1 each year. Additionally, a live web stream of all Army’s home broadcasts will be made available free of charge to U.S. Army personnel around the world. The network changed its name from CBS College Sports Network to its current moniker in April 2011.
CALEB CAMPBELL WAS DRAFTED IN THE SEVENTH ROUND (218TH OVERALL) BY THE DETROIT LIONS IN 2008. CHERRY BOWL
Army defeated Michigan State 10-6 in the inaugural Cherry Bowl in 1984. The game was played in the Pontiac Silverdome.
CLASS THE STARS FELL UPON

Some of the country’s most influential leaders of the 20th century were included in the class, names like Dwight Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, James Van Fleet, Vernon Prichard, Leland Hobbs, Walter Hess, Thomas Larkin, Hubert Harmon and Roscoe Woodruff. All earned at least one varsity letter on West Point’s gridiron.
CINCINNATI
Following 1,011 non-conference games, Army played its first league contest versus Cincinnati on Sept. 19, 1998. The Black Knights spent 108 years as a Division I-A Independent before joining the ranks of Conference USA.
CIVIL WAR
Best-selling author John Feinstein chronicled the 1995 campaigns of both Army and Navy, culminating with the season-ending battle between the two academies, in a novel titled “A Civil War.” The book is widely regarded as the pre-eminent work in providing an inside look at the storied service academy rivalry.
COACH E’S ARMY
For the bargain price of $79, fans can purchase a full season ticket (includes admission to all four games at Michie Stadium this fall) located in the lower deck of Michie Stadium. The price includes a parking pass for the entire season.

DWIGHT EISENHOWER ‘15 WAS AN ARMY LETTERWINNER IN 1912. COLLEGE GAMEDAY
In recognition of the United States service academies, ESPN’s popular College GameDay show originated live from West Point, N.Y., on Sept. 27, 2003, when Army hosted Conference USA rival South Florida. With a patriotic theme and the storied grounds of the Military Academy providing a historic backdrop, the nation’s premier Saturday morning college football preview show debuted at West Point, making only the third trip to one of the country’s service academies.
COMMANDER IN CHIEF’S TROPHY
Named in honor of the President of the United States as commander in chief of the armed forces, the Commander in Chief’s Trophy is awarded annually to the winner of the round-robin football competition between Army, Navy and Air Force.

FIELDTURF
The Army Athletic Association installed a new FieldTurf playing surface at Michie Stadium in the summer of 2008, replacing the AstroPlay surface that had been in place since 2001.
FOLEY ATHLETIC CENTER
The massive 77,000-square-foot Foley Athletic Center opened in 2007 and provides Army’s football team with a state-of-the-art indoor practice facility, a place where the Black Knights can train in a climatecontrolled environment during the winter months and inclement weather days throughout the year.
FORBES MAGAZINE
West Point finished first in Forbes magazine’s 2009 ranking of “America’s Best Colleges,” compiled by Forbes and the Center for College Affordability and Productivity. In the report, the CCAP ranked 600 undergraduate institutions based on the quality of the education they provide, the experience of the students and how much they achieve. The United States Military Academy ranked first on the list.
FORWARD PASS
Notre Dame quarterback Gus Dorais and end Knute Rockne used the forward pass to help the Fighting Irish upset a heavily favored Army team in 1913. The game helped popularize the forward pass and showed how it could be integrated with rushing into a complete offense.
FUTURE SCHEDULES
The Army Athletic Association has released its schedules through the 2013 season. All of the Black Knights’ home games will be held on Saturdays with kickoff time set for either noon or 3:30 p.m. those years. Army will feature six home tilts in 2012.
G•G•G •G•G•G “GAME OF HONOR”

The Black Knights ranked 16th nationally in the category last fall.
H•H•H •H•H•H HALL, DALE

ARMY FOOTBALL | ARMY FOOTBALL A TO Z HALL, LEAMON
A strong-armed right-hander, Leamon Hall eclipsed virtually all of Army’s passing records on game, season and career levels before graduating in 1978. He passed for 5,502 yards during his West Point career on 426 completions, 38 of which went for touchdowns.
HALL OF FAME
Twenty-seven players and coaches from the storied West Point gridiron program have been elected to the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame, located in South Bend, Ind.

HOFFMAN PRESS BOX
Construction on the $7 million, 12,000-square foot, two-story press box for Michie Stadium was completed in the spring of 2003. Funding for the project was provided as part of the Association of Graduates’ Bicentennial Campaign Plan. Mark B. Hoffman (USMA ‘69), lead donor for the undertaking, pledged $5 million toward construction of the stateof-the-art media facility, which officially opened when Army hosted Connecticut on Sept. 6, 2003.
HOLLEDER, DON
In a desperate move to find a quarterback in 1955, Army head coach Earl “Red” Blaik deftly slid AllAmerica end Don Holleder to signal caller. Despite heavy criticism, Blaik stuck with Holleder through early season struggles. Holleder rewarded Blaik’s courage with a 6-3 record and a 14-6 season-ending win over arch-rival Navy. Holleder would be killed in action during the Vietnam conflict. The building that houses both Army’s intercollegiate basketball and hockey arenas is named in his honor.
INDEPENDENT
For its first 108 years, Army’s football program battled as an Independent, winning three national championships and forging one of the richest football traditions in the land. The Black Knights initiated a new chapter in their vast football lore in 1998 when they embarked upon their first campaign as members of Conference USA. Army’s brief, sevenyear foray into conference life ended in 2005 as the Black Knights returned to Independent status.
INSTANT REPLAY
In the fourth quarter of Army’s 21-15 loss to Navy in 1963, CBS utilized the first television “instant replay” on a touchdown run by quarterback Rollie Stichweh. Hall of Fame broadcaster Lindsay Nelson made the call for CBS.

In a 58-25 romp over Boston College on Nov. 9, 1968, Charlie Jarvis carried the ball 22 times for 253 yards and two touchdowns, setting an Army single game rushing mark that remained in place
for more than three decades. He finished the year with 1,110 ground yards, an Academy record at the time. Jarvis’ single-game standard remained in place until Michael Wallace piled up 269 rushing yards in Army’s double-overtime defeat of Louisville in 1999.
JONES, CARLTON
Carlton Jones graduated from West Point in 2006 ranked second on Army’s career rushing list with 3,356 ground yards. He closed his career 763 yards shy of Mike Mayweather’s all-time Army record of 4,299 yards. Jones set a single season school record with 17 rushing touchdowns in 2004.
K•K•K •K•K•K KICKING MULE

Construction on the project spanned from January 2001 to the spring of 2003. The price tag ($40 million) was covered entirely by private contributions.
KIPER, MEL
ESPN football analyst and National Football League Draft guru Mel Kiper recently honored West Point’s Michie Stadium as the nation’s “Most Scenic” venue for college football in a posting on ESPN.com. Kiper also selected the Army-Navy game as owning the “Best Atmosphere” in college football. The lists were based on Kiper’s opinion from over 25 years of covering, watching and traveling to college football games as a fan, observer and analyst.

I•I•I •I•I•I INDEPENDENCE BOWL
Army capped a record-setting 1996 campaign with a December trip to the Poulan/Weed Eater Independence Bowl. After establishing a school record with 10 victories, the Black Knights’ furious fourthquarter rally fell just short, losing to heavily favored Auburn 32-29 when a potential game-tying 27-yard field goal sailed wide right in the final minute.

COLLIN MOONEY SET THE ARMY SINGLESEASON RUSHING RECORD WITH 1,339 YARDS IN 2008. KRAFT FIGHT HUNGER BOWL
Should Army reach the six-win mark before its annual match up with Navy, the Black Knights will travel to San Francisco to participate in the 2011 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Played at AT&T Park, the home of the 2010 world champion San Francisco Giants, the game would pit Army versus an opponent from the Pac-12. Should the Pac-12 not have enough bowl eligible teams, the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl has agreements with the MAC, ACC and WAC to provide a replacement team.

LONELY END
In 1958, Army head coach Earl “Red” Blaik introduced a formation that famed sportswriter Stanley Woodward described as “the lonely end.” Bill Carpenter earned the illustrious assignment during spring practice. When the formation was first installed, Carpenter would break from the huddle and rush to his spot, split 15 yards wide of the offensive line. After six or seven plays he required a break. Blaik developed signals and Carpenter remained out of the huddle by himself. The new formation caught the imagination of football fans throughout the nation.

“From the Far East, I send you one single thought, one sole idea, written in red on every beachhead from Australia to Tokyo. There is no substitute for victory!” and “Upon the fields of friendly strife, Are sown the seeds That, upon other fields, on other days, Will bear the fruits of victory.”
MARCH-ON
One of the time-honored traditions of the Army-Navy Classic is the March-On into the stadium conducted by the Corps of Cadets and Brigade of Midshipmen prior to team warm-ups.
MARSHALL, GEN. GEORGE C.
“I want an officer for a secret and dangerous mission. I want a West Point football player.” Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff of the U.S. Army, uttered this most famous phrase during World War II.
MASCOT
Since 1899, mules have served as the mascots for the U.S. Corps of Cadets. The choice of the mule as a mascot reflects the long standing usefulness of the animal in military operation — transporting guns, supplies and ammunition. Strong, hearty and persevering, the mule is an appropriate symbol for the Corps of Cadets.
MAYWEATHER, MIKE
Army’s career rushing leader with 4,299 yards, Mike Mayweather held the Academy’s single-season mark as well with 1,338 ground yards from 1990 to 2008. The St. Louis, Mo., native finished 10th in the Heisman Trophy balloting in 1990. Mayweather was inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2005.
MCNARY, JOSH
One of the most productive defenders in Army history, Josh McNary finished his career as the Black Knights’ all-time leader with 28 quarterback sacks and 49 tackles for loss. He is the only Army player ever to post two seasons with double-digit sacks, including an Academy record 12.5 in 2009. He finished his career in 2010 by returning a fumble 55 yards for a touchdown in the Black Knights’ 1614 victory over SMU in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl.
MEYER, CHARLES R. “MONK”
Charles R. “Monk” Meyer played an instrumental role in Army’s success during the 1935 and 1936 seasons. Although small by most standards at 143 pounds, Meyer was an exceptional runner, solid kicker and impressive passer. He lettered two seasons and earned All-America honors in some quarters.
MICHIE, DENNIS MAHAN
Dennis Mahan Michie is credited with introducing the sport of football at the U.S. Military Academy. Michie Stadium is named in his honor. Michie was killed in action during the Spanish-American War. He was inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2005.
MICHIE STADIUM
Several national publications have labeled Michie Stadium as the nation’s finest setting for college football. While Sports Illustrated and Inside Sports magazines have selected Michie as the country’s premier college football setting, The Sporting News has listed Michie Stadium as its top “must see” venue in the land, and more recently, ESPN’s Mel Kiper selected Michie Stadium as the “Most Scenic” college football site in the country. Army’s legendary home stadium celebrated its 85th anniversary as home of the Black Knights in 2009.
MOONEY, COLLIN
Collin Mooney broke the Black Knights’ single season rushing record in 2008 by gaining 1,339 yards. Mooney, Army’s main offensive weapon in its switch to the triple-option, set the record with a one-yard gain on the final play from scrimmage versus Navy. The Black Knights’ bruising fullback rushed for at least 100 yards in five games and became just the third Army player to rush for more than 200 yards in a game twice in the same season.
N•N•N •N•N•N NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Army teams captured consecutive national championships in 1944, 1945 and 1946 under head coach Earl “Red” Blaik.
NATIONAL EXPOSURE
In the last 15 years, 71 Army games have been telecast nationally, 18 via network television. The Black Knights are scheduled to have at least six of their 12 games televised this year (six nationally and one on network television), thanks in large part to an agreement struck between CBS Sports Network and the Army Athletic Association in 2009. Army has experienced unprecedented national exposure the past six years, garnering a total of 49 national television appearances. In all, eight of Army’s 13 contests were televised last season. All eight of those contests were broadcast nationally.
NATIONAL RANKINGS
Army closed the 1996 season ranked 24th nationally, the last time the Black Knights have closed a year listed in the Top 25.
NICKNAMES
Army’s athletic teams ushered in the new millennium by undergoing a change in identity. While “Cadets” had been the preferred nickname of Army’s athletic teams for many years, “Black Knights” is now recognized as the primary nickname for the Academy’s athletic teams. Though not viewed as the preferred nickname, “Cadets” remains an accepted moniker.
NIKE
Owning one of America’s top collegiate programs, Army is aligned with arguably the world’s leading sports footwear and apparel company, sharing a partnership with Nike, Inc. Each of Army’s 25 intercollegiate athletic teams sport Nike footwear, uniforms, apparel and accessories.
ARMY FOOTBALL | ARMY FOOTBALL A TO Z NOTRE DAME
Next to Navy, Notre Dame stands as Army’s mostfamiliar opponent. The teams’ 2010 meeting at Yankee Stadium marked the 50th battle between the storied grid programs. Series highlights have included Notre Dame’s 1913 win that popularized use of the forward pass; the Irish’s victory in 1924 that prompted Grantland Rice to write about the “Four Horsemen;” and the famous “Win One for the Gipper” speech delivered by Knute Rockne in Notre Dame’s 1928 triumph. The two powers were accorded national championship trophies eight times in the 35-season span between 1913 and 1947. The height of the classic rivalry came during the mid-1940s when the Cadets and Irish captured successive national titles from 1943 through 1947. Two of the last three meetings (1995 and 1998) between Army and Notre Dame have been decided by a total of four points, with the heavily favored Irish surviving upset scares in both outings. The 2010 game marked the first college football game at the new Yankee Stadium.
O•O•O •O•O•O OLIPHANT, ELMER
Elmer Oliphant authored one of the finest athletic careers in the history of the U.S. Military Academy. A two-time All-America selection on the gridiron, Oliphant earned four varsity letters in baseball, three in football, three in basketball and one in track and field, while garnering monograms in boxing, hockey and swimming before graduating in 1918. He was inducted in the charter class of the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2004.

OVERTIME
Army experienced the first overtime contest in school history on Oct. 7, 1999, when the Black Knights defeated Louisville 59-52 in double-overtime during a wild Thursday night encounter along the banks of the Hudson. Recognized by several national outlets as the most entertaining game of the 1999 college football season, the nationally televised contest also marked the first Thursday evening home affair in West Point history. The Black Knights have played seven overtime contests in the past five years, winning five of those affairs. Army had its four game overtime winning streak snapped in 2008 with a 27-24 loss at Buffalo. Army stands 6-2 all-time in overtime tilts.
A FULL DRESS CADET PARADE ON “THE PLAIN” IS ONE OF WEST POINT’S MOST TIME HONORED GAME DAY TRADITIONS. OVERTIME ONLINE
The Army Athletic Association added a football postgame show to its multi-media cache in 2007 with the development of “Overtime Online.” “Overtime Online” originates from Randall Hall Auditorium following Army’s home games and includes coverage of postgame press conferences featuring head coach Rich Ellerson and selected Black Knight players. The show is hosted by Tony Morino and Rick Johnston and is broadcast on Army’s official Web site and the Michie Stadium video board via ITT Knight Vision.
P•P•P •P•P•P PARADE
One of the time-honored traditions of a West Point football Saturday, a full dress cadet parade takes place on “The Plain” three hours prior to kickoff (weather permitting) of every home Army contest.
PARCELLS, BILL
Highly successful as a head coach in the National Football League, Bill Parcells guided the New York Giants and New England Patriots to Super Bowl appearances. The Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the Miami Dolphins served as an assistant under Army head coach Tom Cahill from 1967 to 1969, and ranks among a host of NFL coaches who spent early portions of their careers along the banks of the Hudson. The prestigious list includes Vince Lombardi, John Mackovic, Frank Gansz, Bob Sutton, Bill Sheridan, Perry Fewell and Mike Sullivan.
PHILADELPHIA
With roots dating back to the 19th century, the storied Army-Navy football classic has been played somewhere in the city of Philadelphia 83 of the 111 times the two arch rivals have met. The ArmyNavy game, presented by USAA, is scheduled to be held in the “City of Brotherly Love” at Lincoln Financial Field once again in 2012. Army and Navy announced during the spring of 2009 that Philadelphia will host five Army-Navy games during an eightyear span from 2010 through 2017.
“PLAIN, THE”
“The Plain” remains one of the most famous lawns in the nation. Scenically tucked between Washington Hall and Trophy Point, it has been the site of thousands of full dress cadet parades over the years.
PRESIDENT
Former president George W. Bush became the second standing United States President since Gerald Ford in 1974 to attend the Army-Navy game when he witnessed the Black Knights’ 26-17 defeat of the Mids in December 2001. President Bush made a return visit to the classic in 2004, addressing both teams in their respective locker rooms prior to the battle. He watched the first half from the Army side of the stands before switching to the Navy side during halftime. Bush also attended the final Army-Navy game of his presidency in 2008. Prior to Bush, Bill Clinton had been the most recent standing president to watch the service academy battle in person.
PRESS CONFERENCE
Head coach Rich Ellerson hosts a weekly press conference each Tuesday before a Saturday game. The media sessions are held in Randall Hall Auditorium, beginning promptly at 1 p.m. A live video stream of the press conference is available via the Army Athletic Association’s official Web site at www. goARMYsports.com via ITT Knight Vision.

ARMY FOOTBALL | ARMY FOOTBALL A TO Z STEELMAN, TRENT
Army’s quarterback for each of the last two seasons, Trent Steelman has started every game of his West Point career. In 2009, he became the first Army plebe to start a season opener in the modern era, and his 25 straight starts rank second in the Army record book behind Leamon Hall’s 30 consecutive starts from 1975-77. Steelman has won 12 of his starts through two seasons, placing him in a fourth-place tie for most wins by an Army firststring quarterback since 1963. With two seasons of eligibility remaining, Steelman enters his junior campaign ranked 10th on the Black Knights’ career total offense ledger.
STEFFY, JOE
ARMY’S CHEERLEADERS ARE KNOWN AS THE RABBLE ROUSERS. QUARTERS
There are four quarters in a football game. In addition, military housing accommodations are generally referred to as “quarters.”
R•R•R •R•R•R RABBLE ROUSERS
Army’s cheerleaders, better known as “Rabble Rousers,” are all members of the U.S. Corps of Cadets. They support a host of activities in addition to Black Knight athletic contests.
RAIDER
The oldest of the Army mascots, 22-year-old Raider is the elder statesman among West Point’s mules. Ranger II, nicknamed “George” (age 14), and General Scott or “Scotty”(age 12), round out Army’s mule corps.
RUSHING TITLES
Army captured four national rushing titles during its most recent “wishbone era,” dating from 1984 through 1999.
Army’s only Outland Trophy winner, Joe Steffy, dominated the trenches as a two-way lineman when Army ruled the college football landscape during the 1940s. Steffy capped his brilliant career by accepting the 1947 Outland Trophy, awarded to college football’s most outstanding lineman. He was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in 1987 and was a member of the second class elected to the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2005. The Army Athletic Association officially retired Steffy’s uniform number No. 61 during a halftime ceremony on Sept. 19, 2009, when the Black Knights hosted Ball State on “Joe Steffy Day” at West Point. Steffy became the third Army football player to have his uniform number officially retired. He passed away May 21, 2011.
SUN BOWL
Army’s heartbreaking 29-28 loss to a heavily favored, Derrick Thomas-led Alabama squad in the 1988 John Hancock Sun Bowl marked the Black Knights’ third postseason appearance in five years. The hardfought setback in El Paso, Texas, marked Army’s first defeat in three postseason bowl decisions.
T•T•T •T•T•T TAILGATING
One of the most scenic tailgate sites in the country lies along the banks of the Hudson. The time honored tailgate tradition at West Point begins at dawn of every home football game and runs well after darkness has set in.
TARBUCKET
The traditional headwear worn by cadets during a full dress review is known as a tarbucket. Cadet parades take place three hours prior to kickoff of every home Army contest.
TELEVISION
Thanks to an agreement between ESPN, Inc. and the Army Athletic Association beginning in 2005, Army has experienced unprecedented national exposure the past six years, garnering a total of 49 national television appearances. In all, eight of Army’s 13 contests were televised last season. All eight of those contests were televised nationally. Army struck a new broadcast deal with CBS Sports Network last summer that guarantees live national television coverage for each of the Black Knights’ home football games through 2014.
THREE
Michie Stadium garnered a third-place rating on the Sports Illustrated list of “Favorite Venues,” published in its June 7, 1999, edition. The magazine’s selection committee wrote the following about its favorite venues: “There’s something about being there. And where exactly would you be if you weren’t on your couch? Where would you go to register the click of the turnstile, the feel of wooden slats beneath you, the whiff of stale beer? Wrigley, Wembley, Williamsport. Odd little cathedrals with strange rituals and sacraments (Dodger Dogs!). You’d be someplace that was engineered for sensory overload, not skybox revenue, the smell of peanuts on a summer breeze mingling with the roar of V-8s. You’d be someplace varnished in layers of history, the satiny armrest reminding you that somebody else sat here and saw Babe Ruth hit his 60th. You might be in some abomination of architecture, but you’d be someplace. So here’s where we’d be if we could just take in a game some afternoon. We’d be in one of these places, hunched in a time-polished bleacher, humoring the ghosts in the outfield, trying to remember where the hell we parked. Eating a Dodger Dog, probably. Years later, when pressed to explain the unique drama of that afternoon — just smells and sights and sounds, really — we’d say, You had to be there.”
S•S•S •S•S•S SASSAMAN, NATE
Quarterback Nate Sassaman, a converted defensive back, served as Army’s trigger man when the wishbone offense debuted in 1984 under head coach Jim Young. Sassaman guided the Black Knights to a national rushing title that year and their first postseason berth.
SKYDIVERS
The pomp and pageantry of a West Point football Saturday is unmatched. One of the highlights of every Army home game takes place when the game ball is delivered by skydivers that jump into Michie Stadium, weather permitting.
SPANISH RADIO
In a bold initiative, the United States Military Academy became the first service academy to broadcast its football games in Spanish seven years ago. Since that time, the Army Sports Network has broadcast the majority of its home games, in addition to all Army-Navy contests in Spanish. Army’s Spanish broadcasts can heard on WNSW (1430-AM, New York, N.Y.) this fall.

U•U•U •U•U•U ULLRICH, CARL
THE UNITED STATES CORPS OF CADETS IS KNOWN AS ARMY’S “12TH MAN” THROWBACK JERSEYS
As part of the Army-Navy game’s centennial celebration, the teams wore “throwback” game jerseys for their 100th meeting on Dec. 4, 1999. The Black Knights donned replicas of the familiar uniform tops worn by the Army teams of the 1940s and 1950s. Navy, meanwhile, sported the uniform style of its teams from the 1960s. The Black Knights wore similar “throwback” jerseys for their game against Rice in 1995. Army honored its national championship teams from 1944, 1945 and 1946 that day as the Black Knights and Rice played to a 21-21 tie. Former Army head coach Bobby Ross introduced similar “retro” uniforms in 2004 that were worn through 2009 in an effort to harken back to the “Golden Era” of Army football.
THURSDAY NIGHT
Army hosted Louisville on Oct. 7, 1999, in the first Thursday night contest at West Point’s Michie Stadium. The game, a classic 59-52 double-overtime victory for the Black Knights, was televised live nationally by Fox Sports Net.
“TOUCHDOWN TWINS”
Felix “Doc” Blanchard and Glenn Davis teamed to form one of the most prolific backfields in the history of college football. Dubbed the “Touchdown Twins,” Blanchard and Davis combined to score 97 touchdowns and 585 points from 1943 through 1946. The latter mark still stands as an NCAA record.
TUCKER, ARNOLD
Another Army football legend took his rightful place among college football’s all-time greats in the spring of 2008 when Arnold Tucker was elected to the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame. Tucker received the Sullivan Award in 1946 as the nation’s top amateur athlete. As a part of the famed Army backfield that featured Tom McWilliams and Heisman Trophy winners Glenn Davis and Felix “Doc” Blanchard, Tucker earned first team All-America honors that same season. Tucker quarterbacked the Cadets to a 27-0-1 record and three national championships from 1944 to 1946. Army also won three Lambert Trophy titles as the top team in the East during his tenure. Tucker tallied 1,127 passing touchdowns and 10 touchdowns in his three seasons at West Point after playing at the University of Miami in 1943. Tucker was inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame in September 2008.
TWELFTH MAN
West Point’s Corps of Cadets has long been recognized as Army’s 12th man on the field. The Corps remains one of the most spirited student bodies in the nation.
Former Army Director of Athletics Carl Ullrich is widely regarded as the person responsible for returning Army’s storied football program back to the national forefront. In 1983, Ullrich turned the reins of the West Point gridiron program over to Jim Young, who would engineer one of the greatest turnarounds in the history of the sport. Ullrich became the first administrator elected to the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2007, inducted as part of the fourth class enshrined in the hall.
USAA
Officials from the Army, Navy and USAA announced a 10-year agreement in July 2009 that allows USAA to serve as the presenting sponsor of the Army-Navy football game. As part of the agreement, the classic will be titled, “The Army-Navy Game, presented by USAA.” USAA is a diversified financial services group of companies and is among the leading providers of financial planning, insurance, investments and banking products to members of the United States military and their families, including both cadets from West Point and midshipmen from Annapolis. The presenting sponsorship is a first for the fabled Army-Navy classic and reflects the first nationally televised sports sponsorship for USAA, which is based in San Antonio, Texas.
V•V•V •V•V•V VETERANS STADIUM
Army-Navy games have been contested at 15 different sites over the years, but Philadelphia’s Veterans Stadium hosted 17 service academy showdowns during a 22-year stretch spanning the last three decades. “The Vet,” which first hosted the Army-Navy game in 1980, was kind to the Army grid program. The Black Knights boasted an impressive 11-5-1 record (.676) versus their arch rivals at Veterans Stadium. The 2001 Army-Navy game was the last to be played at “The Vet” with Army prevailing 26-17.
TRADITION
One is hard-pressed to find a football program steeped in more tradition than Army’s. In their 122nd season of intercollegiate competition, the Black Knights sport an overall record of 649-46251 (.580). Army teams have captured three national championships (1944, 1945 and 1946) and seven Lambert Trophy titles. Three Army players have copped the Heisman Trophy and 27 players and coaches have been elected to the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame.
TRIPLE-OPTION
The Black Knights operated out of the wishbone attack most recently from 1984 through 1999. During the 16 years it worked out of the ‘bone, Army captured four national rushing titles and made the only four postseason bowl appearances in school history. While Army will not feature the wishbone attack this season, it will continue to utilize the option game heavily under third-year head coach Rich Ellerson. The Black Knights ranked eighth nationally in rushing last season employing Ellerson’s triple-option scheme.
VETERANS STADIUM IN PHILADELPHIA WAS HOME TO 17 ARMY-NAVY GAMES IN A 22-YEAR SPAN. THE 2001 GAME WAS THE LAST TO BE PLAYED AT “THE VET.”

West Point, also known as the United States Military Academy, was the first United States military post built after the Declaration of Independence. In its inception, it was under the command of Benedict Arnold. Established in 1802, it is the oldest military academy in the United States. Students are referred to as cadets. Collectively, graduates are known as “The Long Gray Line” because of the color of cadet uniforms and the unbroken line of West Point graduates. West Point trains more U.S. Army officers than any other single institution and a high proportion of distinguished American generals have been West Point graduates. Currently, over 900 graduates are commissioned as U.S. Army lieutenants every year, representing 25 percent of new lieutenants commissioned. The Military Academy is located at West Point, New York, on a scenic overlook of the Hudson River, about 50 miles north of New York City. Occupying over 16,000 acres, it is one of the largest school campuses in the world. By comparison, the United States Naval Academy covers 338 acres and United States Air Force Academy spans 18,000 acres.

WABC, whose 50,000-watt clear channel signal can be heard in 38 states and Canada, served as the flagship station for the Army Sports Network in 2000. Widely regarded as the pre-eminent and widest reaching AM radio station in the country, WABC is also recognized as the most listened to talk radio station in the country. WABC served as flagship for the Army Sports Network for one year (2000) before the Black Knights jumped to become the first college or professional team to align with 1050 ESPN Radio (1050-AM), New York, N.Y., the following year.
The U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy athletic departments commissioned noted sports artist Bill Williams to paint a commemorative still life illustration, titled “Army-Navy Classic,” celebrating the 100th meeting between Army and Navy. The piece sold out quickly and remains available only through secondary markets.

Some of the most famous games ever played by Army football teams have taken place at New York’s Yankee Stadium. The majestic “House That Ruth Built” served as the site for many of the storied battles between Army and Notre Dame during the series’ early years. Following a 35-year hiatus, bigtime college football returned to Yankee Stadium on Nov. 20, 2010, when Notre Dame and Army resumed their fabled rivalry at the “Big Ballyard in the South Bronx.” Army will play at Yankee Stadium for the second straight year when it hosts Rutgers on Nov. 12, 2011.

134 | 2011 ARMY FOOTBALL
ARMY FOOTBALL | GRIDIRON DATELINE The heritage associated with Army Football is richly intertwined within the fabric of college football’s development since Rutgers and Princeton met in 1869 in the first competitive college game ever. Army’s first team took the field in 1890 and Black Knight squads have been rewriting history since.
1890—Cadet
Dennis Mahan Michie accepts a challenge from midshipmen at Navy for a football game. Michie, who organizes, coaches and prepares the Army team, directs his charges onto “The Plain” on Nov. 29 for that historic contest. The more experienced Mids secure a 24-0 victory, but intercollegiate football at West Point is born.
1891—Army opens its first full season of football with its first victory, a 10-6 verdict over Fordham. Later, in the season finale, the Cadets make their first road trip and secure a 32-16 win at Navy. Dr. Harry Williams guides Army to a 4-1-1 record that season.
1892—Under the direction of Dennis Michie once again, the Cadets post a 3-1-1 mark. Army registers three straight shutouts, blanking Stevens (42-0), Trinity (24-0) and Princeton Reserves (14-0). Navy snaps the streak with a 12-4 win.
1899—Charlie Wesson returns a punt 100 yards
1909—Army’s season is cut short after five games.
(on a 110-yard field) for a touchdown against Syracuse. That record still stands today. And, on Dec. 2, Army and Navy meet at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, squaring off for the first time since 1893.
In a 9-0 loss to Harvard, Cadet Eugene Byrne suffers a broken neck and dies later in the weekend. Byrne is one of 30 players nationally who die while playing football this year. The flying wedge is outlawed and free substitution is allowed.
1900—Army’s
defense holds Penn State scoreless, but the Cadet offense fails to hit paydirt in a 0-0 tie. Six of Army’s seven wins come via shutout.
1901—Charles Daly, on the heels of two All-America honors prior to his graduation from Harvard in the spring, receives an appointment to West Point and becomes an All-America quarterback along the banks of the Hudson as well. He scores all 11 points in Army’s 11-5 win over Navy. 1902—Paul Bunker is cited as an All-America at halfback, one year after earning similar accolades as a tackle. He is the first gridder ever to earn successive Walter Camp All-America honors at different positions.
1903—Army
team captain Edward Farnsworth plays in his fifth Army-Navy game. The Cadets spot the Mids a 5-0 lead before storming back with 40 unanswered points in a 40-5 win. Farnsworth remains the only Army player ever to appear in five Army-Navy contests.
1893—Flexing its newfound football prowess, Army meets Eastern power Yale for the first time. The Elis dispatch the Cadets 28-0. Navy sends Army to a losing record (4-5) with a 6-4 decision in the season finale.
1905—President
1894—Cadet Thales “Tilly” Ames earns honorable mention All-America status at center, becoming the first Army player to be singled out for his football accomplishments.

1968—In
a 58-25 romp over Boston College on Nov. 9, Charlie Jarvis carries the ball 22 times for 253 yards and two touchdowns, setting an Army single game rushing mark that would remain in place until the 1999 campaign.

Cadets go winless in 10 games and lose 51-0 to Navy. Tom Cahill is fired as head coach, causing an avalanche of negative publicity aimed at the Academy. In the season-opening 37-18 loss to Tennessee, quarterback Kingsley Fink throws for 326 yards, setting a school record.
1974—Homer Smith, appointed head coach in January, completes his first season along Army’s sideline. In one of Army’s three wins, Mike Marquez boots a 33-yard field goal with :17 remaining to give the Cadets a 17-16 victory over Air Force. Marquez, in uniform for his first varsity game, is called into action when starting kicker Mike Castelli is injured on the extra point after Army’s first score. 1976—Homer Smith, who brought the Wishbone-T offense with him from UCLA, abandons the attack to better utilize the passing skills of junior quarterback Leamon Hall. Hall finishes the season with 2,174 passing yards, which stood as the Army single-season record for 27 years. 1977—Behind 1,944 passing yards from Leamon Hall, the Cadets win seven of 11 games and claim their second Commander in Chief’s Trophy.

1979—Army,
after opting not to renew Homer Smith’s contract, hires University of Miami coach Lou Saban.

The wishbone accounts for 291 yards rushing in Army’s ninth win of the year, its most since 1949. Offensive guard Don Smith is named a first team All-American, becoming the first Cadet to earn that honor since Ken Johnson in 1968. 1986—The Cadets garner a fourth Commander in Chief’s Trophy, beating Air Force 21-11 and Navy 27-7.

He becomes just the second Army sophomore (Mike Mayweather) to crack the 1,000-yard barrier. Quarterback Trent Steelman accounted for 18 touchdowns, including a team-best 11 rushing scores. For the second consecutive season, Steelman starts every game under center and was just five passing yards shy of becoming the first Army quarterback to throw for at least 1,000 yards and rush for at least 500 yards in the same season. Defensive end Josh McNary completes his career as Army’s all-time leader in quarterback sacks (28) and tackles for loss (49).

ARMY FOOTBALL | 1944 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS “Seldom in a lifetime’s experience is one permitted the complete satisfaction of being part of a perfect performance. To the coaches, the 23-7 is enough. To the squad members, by hard work and sacrifice, you superbly combined ability, ambition, and the desire to win, thereby leaving a rich heritage for future Academy squads. From her sons West Point expects the best—you were the best. In truth, you were a storybook team.” - HEAD COACH EARL “RED” BLAIK
“THE GREATEST OF ALL ARMY TEAMSͷSTOPͷWE HAVE STOPPED THE WAR TO CELEBRATE YOUR MAGNIFICENT SUCCESS. MACARTHUR.” The numbers bound off the page with the explosiveness of a “Doc” Blanchard burst up the middle. Fifty-six points per game ... five-hundred-four points scored ... thirty-five points allowed ... four shutouts ... nine wins without a loss ... six first team All-America selections. Never before had a college football team authored such astonishing credentials. No squad has been able to duplicate that dominance since. Many college football historians contend the 1944 Army squad ranks as the finest college club ever assembled. Critics are hard-pressed to build a substantive argument against those bold assertions. It was the prelude to a dynasty, a decade of success never experienced along the banks of the Hudson. And it began with the hiring of Earl “Red” Blaik as Army head coach following the 1940 season. Blaik enjoyed immediate success at West Point, leading the Cadets to three consecutive winning records during his first three years at the Army helm. With World War II raging, colleges all over the country suspended the eligibility rule for freshmen. West Point was no exception, and Blaik’s teams benefitted greatly. The crafty mentor was able to secure appointments for some of the nation’s top young players. The most important addition to the 1943 club was a standout halfback named Glenn Davis. Though only a plebe, Davis starred for the Cadets that year. Another one of Blaik’s prized recruits arrived at West
Point the following year in the form of Blanchard. Together “Mr. Inside” (Blanchard) and “Mr. Outside” (Davis), as they were labeled, would form one of college football’s greatest running duos. Still the hard-running backfield tandem was but a single component within Army’s vast arsenal. In fact, Army’s depth was so great that Blaik fielded two squads. The “Lombardo Team,” quarterbacked by Tom Lombardo, consisted primarily of plebes, including Blanchard and Davis. The “Kenna Team,” led by senior signal caller Doug Kenna, started every game before yielding to Lombardo’s unit at the start of the second quarter. Once asked to select the best game he saw these teams play, Blaik responded, “That’s easy. It was a Wednesday afternoon in October when they scrimmaged each other. Each scored two touchdowns, but the intensity and execution were the best I ever have seen on any gridiron, any place.” As a whole, the unit was awesome, easily becoming the first unbeaten and untied team at West Point since 1916. In order, the Cadets pounded North Carolina (46-0), Brown (59-7), Pittsburgh (69-7), Coast
Guard (76-0), Duke (27-7) and Villanova (83-0). The Cadets set their sights on mighty Notre Dame next. It had been 13 years since Army had defeated the Irish, but that streak ended at Yankee Stadium as the Cadets registered a surprising 59-0 rout. Fears of a letdown the following week versus Pennsylvania were quickly quelled when Army blitzed the Quakers 62-7. That verdict set the stage for a climactic showdown with arch-rival Navy. The matchup, pitting the top-ranked Cadets against the second-ranked Midshipmen, would decide the national championship. A crowd of better than 70,000 packed Baltimore’s Municipal Stadium to witness Army roll to a 23-7 victory. That night Blaik received a telegram: “The greatest of all Army teams—STOP—We have stopped the war to celebrate your magnificent success. MacArthur.” Still one of the most inspirational tributes came from Blaik, himself. “Seldom in a lifetime’s experience is one permitted the complete satisfaction of being part of a perfect performance. To the coaches, the 23-7 is enough. To the squad members, by hard work and sacrifice, you superbly combined ability, ambition, and the desire to win, thereby leaving a rich heritage for future Academy squads. From her sons West Point expects the best—you were the best. In truth, you were a storybook team.”

#Yankee Stadium, New York, N.Y. +Polo Grounds, New York, N.Y. *Municipal Stadium, Philadelphia, Pa. National Champions As the Army football team prepared for the 1945 season, victory had been declared in the Pacific and Gen. Douglas MacArthur called for a “better world” to emerge from the ashes of World War II. Soldiers were returning from Europe, and the United States was celebrating the end of almost four years of global conflict. West Point’s 1945 grid squad, meanwhile, faced the daunting task of replicating the accomplishments of Army’s 1944 team, which included the Cadets’ first perfect season in nearly 30 years, a national championship and collegiate records for scoring and scoring margin that still stand today. Fortunately, Felix “Doc” Blanchard, Glenn Davis and Arnold Tucker returned to see if they could create a football dynasty. The team dubbed “Blaik’s Black Knights” by New York Sun sportswriter Will Wedge would ultimately measure up to the task. During an easy 32-0 season-opening victory over Personnel Distribution Command of the Army Air Force stationed at Louisville, Ky., a new star emerged in the Black Knights’ constellation. Thomas “Shorty” McWilliams, a plebe who had been a standout at Mississippi State in 1944, guided Army’s Wing-T offense to a lopsided win. The Cadets followed with lopsided verdicts over Wake Forest (54-0), Michigan (28-7), Melville, R.I., USN (55-13), Duke (48-13) and Villanova (54-0).
THE 1945 ARMY TEAM SHUT OUT FIVE OF ITS NINE OPPONENTS EN ROUTE TO ITS SECOND STRAIGHT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. The Cadets expected a stern battle against Notre Dame the next week at Yankee Stadium. More than 75,000 fans witnessed an awesome Army display as the Cadets proved their convincing win over the Irish one year earlier was no fluke, cruising to a 48-0 victory. A week later, Blanchard and Davis combined for five touchdowns as Army crushed longtime nemesis Pennsylvania 61-0, handing the Quakers their worst loss since 1888. Moreover, that game has been called “Army’s peak game of all time.” According to noted sportswriter Tim Cohane, “The Black Knights were invincible on the attack, overpowering on the defense. Their blocking and tackling were murderous; their team speed blinding.” The Cadets would need every bit of that talent two weeks later against undefeated Navy in Philadelphia. As was the case in 1944, the game would decide the national championship. Army raced out to a 20-0 first-quarter lead and the Midshipmen could never recover, falling 32-13
ARMY DEFEATED MICHIGAN, 28-7, IN THE THIRD GAME OF THE SEASON. THE WOLVERINES WERE THE FIRST TEAM TO SCORE AGAINST THE ARMY DEFENSE.
as Blanchard finished with three touchdowns and Davis with two. Honors came pouring in for the team and its players. Army was the unanimous national champion, and Blanchard captured the Heisman Trophy as the nation’s outstanding player. Davis was runnerup. Blanchard also received the Maxwell Cup and Walter Camp Trophy as college football’s outstanding player and the Sullivan Award as the outstanding amateur athlete in America. Six Army players were tabbed as first team All-America picks. Evaluating the squad that year, Blaik called it the greatest team he had ever coached. Some have argued that the 1945 Army team was the best in the history of college football. One look at the team’s accomplishments makes it hard to debate that assessment.

ARMY FOOTBALL | 1946 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Michigan head coach Fritz Crisler said later that season, “We played our finest game of the year against Army,” and Wolverine running back Bob Chappuis admitted, “We were three months recovering from that game.”
THE 1946 ARMY TEAM COMPLETED ITS THIRD STRAIGHT UNBEATEN SEASON WITH A 21-18 WIN OVER NAVY. Only eight starters from Army’s 1945 national championship team returned to the West Point fold the following year as the Cadets attempted to capture a third consecutive national championship. Fortunately for head coach Earl “Red” Blaik, the returning players included standouts Felix “Doc” Blanchard, Glenn Davis and Arnold Tucker. The Cadets kicked off their 1946 campaign against Villanova, racing to an easy 35-0 victory, but the win was tainted when Blanchard suffered a serious knee injury. Diagnosed as a torn anterior cruciate ligament and a torn membrane, Blanchard’s ailment would have sidelined lesser players for the entire year, yet Blanchard would return the following month. Defeats of Oklahoma (21-7) and Cornell (46-21) followed, setting the stage for a rematch against No. 4 Michigan in the Wolverines’ new stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich. Playing for the first time since his knee injury, Blanchard proved little threat to the Wolverines until scoring the game-winning touchdown, sparking second-ranked Army to a 20-13 win.
Michigan head coach Fritz Crisler said later that season, “We played our finest game of the year against Army,” and Wolverine running back Bob Chappuis admitted, “We were three months recovering from that game.” Blanchard began to regain his form against Columbia the next week, scoring four times in the Cadets’ 48-14 whipping of the Lions. Consecutive 19-0 shutouts of Duke and West Virginia preceded another showdown with No. 1 Notre Dame. The nation’s two top-ranked teams went headto-head at Yankee Stadium in a classic defensive struggle that ended in a 0-0 tie. Notre Dame stiffened six times with Army inside the Irish 30, while the Cadets allowed Notre Dame past midfield just three times all day. The scoreless deadlock snapped Army’s winning streak at 25 and each team maintained its national ranking. Army shrugged off early offensive lethargy to deal Pennsylvania a 34-7 setback heading into the annual season-ending battle with arch-rival Navy.
The season had taken a dreadful toll on the Black Knights, who nonetheless were unbeaten entering the fray. A crowd of 100,000 jammed Philadelphia’s Municipal Stadium for one of the most stunning contests in the history of the series. Army jumped out to a 21-6 halftime bulge, but Navy came roaring back, closing to within 21-18. As time wound down, Navy drove to the Army 3-yard line, but two late plunges by fullback Lynn Chewning and another by Pete Williams, who was corralled by Barney Poole, proved fruitless. As the ball sat just four yards from paydirt and a Navy upset, the clock ran out on another frenzied service academy classic, providing Army with a 2118 win and its third straight undefeated season. Notre Dame was named national champion in five polls that year with Army claiming top honors in two others. The teams were listed as co-champions in three additional rankings. Still, Army had much to be proud about. Davis accepted the Heisman Trophy as the outstanding football player in the nation. Tucker received the Sullivan Award as the country’s outstanding amateur athlete. And Blaik was named “Coach of the Year” by the Football Coaches Association of America. In all, four Cadets garnered first team All-America honors. Looking back on his players and the teams of Army’s glory years, Blaik said, “‘Doc’ and Glenn did more for West Point football than any other player or coach in history.” That fact still holds true today.

ARMY FOOTBALL | THE HEISMAN TROPHY The John W. Heisman Memorial Trophy Award is presented each year by the Downtown Athletic Club of New York to the nation’s outstanding college football player. First known as the D.A.C. Trophy, the award was renamed in 1936 for John W. Heisman, the first athletic director of the Downtown Athletic Club, a football player at Pennsylvania and Brown and a coach for 36 years, including tours at Auburn, Oberlin, Clemson, Akron, Pennsylvania, Rice, Washington & Jefferson and Georgia Tech. The bronze trophy was sculpted by Frank Eliscu with the help of one of Notre Dame’s “Four Horsemen,” Jim Crowley, whose Fordham players posed as models. Since the inception of the Heisman Trophy in 1935, three Army players have garnered the award. Only four other schools—Notre Dame (7), Southern California (7), Ohio State (7) and Oklahoma (5)—have had more winners. Army’s “Mr. Inside,” Felix “Doc” Blanchard, and “Mr. Outside,” Glenn Davis, captured the Heisman in back-to-back years in 1945 and 1946, respectively, leading Army to national championships in both years. Just over a decade later (1958), Pete Dawkins led the Cadets to their most recent Lambert Trophy title and their last undefeated season (8-0-1) on his way to earning the honor. In 1990, Mike Mayweather became the first Army player to attract serious attention from Heisman voters since Dawkins’ selection more than 30 years prior. Mayweather, who graduated from West Point in 1991 as Army’s all-time leading rusher and the most prolific runner in service academy history, finished 10th in the Heisman balloting, garnering three first-place votes. An All-America selection who also finished as second runnerup in voting for the inaugural Doak Walker Award, Mayweather rushed for a then school-record 1,338 yards in 1990, concluding with 4,299 career ground yards, another Army standard.

EARL “RED” BLAIK BUILT A DYNASTY THAT WON THREE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS AND SEVEN LAMBERT TROPHY TITLES. HE COACHED 28 FIRST-TEAM ALL-AMERICANS AND THREE HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS. The day was dank and dreary; a bitter chill gripped the thick November air. A crowd of 48,000 had gathered at Philadelphia’s Franklin Field, barely half of what the old house would fit, to watch Pennsylvania mangle Army. On a different afternoon, during a different season, Army would have won the game easily, brushed aside the Quakers like a bothersome younger brother. But this was 1940 and the mighty West Point grid program had spiraled off the map. And just when it appeared Army’s free-fall could plummet no further, the Cadets suddenly sank two more rungs. It was bad enough the Cadets had been outscored 90-15 in five previous losses, but this 48-0 drubbing at the hands of Pennsylvania tore viciously at the heart of every West Pointer. The Black Knights were outgained in total yardage by a frightening 409-185 margin, and stumbled to just one scoring opportunity in the process. Never before had a West Point team been so soundly thrashed, not even in three prior shutouts earlier that same miserable season. The Army program had hit rock bottom now. And that was clearly evident to one visionary seated solemnly on Franklin Field’s cold, wooden stands. As fate would permit, Brig. Gen. Robert Eichelberger, two days shy of beginning his tenure as Academy superintendent, was on hand for the whipping. He was aghast at what he saw. Eichelberger was so disgusted that, in what may have been his first official act as superintendent at West Point, he called a meeting of the athletic council. “I was impressed Saturday, by the way the cadets cheered our team right to the end of that 48 to 0 beating by Pennsylvania,” said Eichelberger in an account provided in Tim Cohane’s “Gridiron Grenadiers.” “It looks as if we are developing the finest bunch of losers

in the world. By the Gods, I believe the Cadets deserve a football team which will teach them how to be good winners!” Up until that point, the Academy had selected only graduate officers to serve in its head coaching positions. Eichelberger felt the practice had become outdated. He favored hiring the best coach available. The only logical choice in his mind was Earl Blaik, a West Point graduate who had been an Army assistant before becoming head coach at Dartmouth in 1934. But Blaik, who had resigned his commission in 1922, was a civilian and the board met his candidacy with great resistance. Eichelberger, though, would not be denied. Shortly after the meeting had adjourned, he contacted Blaik and soon offered him the position. “For several weeks I pondered a decision,” Blaik would write in his book, “You Have to Pay the Price.” “On one side was the happiness of my family, my assistants and myself at Hanover. It had been all and more than I could
have wanted. I also knew what Army football had been once, what it had come to be, what it should be. For that reason, I had a strong compulsion to answer Eichelberger’s call.” Before he accepted the offer, Blaik demanded that two conditions be met. One was that his entire staff at Dartmouth be allowed to join him at West Point. The other had to do with the liberalizing of height and weight restrictions that had been in place since the early 1930s and limited football recruiting. Not long after announcing his resignation at Dartmouth on Christmas Day, Blaik was introduced as West Point’s new head football coach. So began a glorious era in Army lore. During 18 years at the Cadet helm, Blaik compiled a 121-33-10 record and remains the winningest coach in West Point history. Three of his teams captured national championships and seven were crowned Lambert Trophy titlists. Under his masterful guidance, 28 Cadets garnered first team All-America honors. Three of them won the Heisman Trophy. Fifteen assistant coaches who worked under Blaik went on to become successful head coaches at major colleges and universities, names such as Lombardi and Gilman and Warmath. A two-time national coach of the year selection, Blaik was enshrined in the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame in 1964 and was presented that organization’s Gold Medal Award two years later. In 1986, just three years before his death at the age of 92, Blaik was accorded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Ronald Reagan. He was the man most responsible for restoring a once-proud football tradition along the banks of the Hudson. The man most responsible for building upon that tradition like no one else. For that, Earl Blaik will forever be immortalized.
ARMY FOOTBALL | “TOUCHDOWN TWINS” They came from separate coastlines but together formed one of the most dynamic backfield tandems in college football history. Felix “Doc” Blanchard and Glenn Davis; “Mr. Inside” and “Mr. Outside;” “The Touchdown Twins.” By any name, they were simply the finest pair of running backs to ever pass through West Point’s storied gates. And they ruled college football from 1944 to 1946, stealing the attention of an entire nation while leading Army to three consecutive national championships. Earl “Red” Blaik, the fabulous head coach who single-handedly reversed Army’s football fortunes after his hiring late in 1940, was responsible for bringing both to the Academy. Blaik first learned of Davis from a friend early in 1943. A young halfback from LaVerne, Calif., Davis set several offensive records at Bonita High School, scoring a record 256 points during his senior year. So Blaik wrote to Davis’ parents, broaching the subject of an appointment to the Academy. Davis expressed interest, studied for the validating examination, and entered the Academy on July 1, 1943. But Davis ran into trouble with his plebe mathematics course that first year and was dismissed from the Academy. Undaunted, he returned home and enrolled in a special fourmonth math course at Pomona College. He was readmitted to West Point in 1944. Joining forces with Blanchard in his first year as a varsity regular, Davis captured All-America honors, leading the nation in scoring with 120 points. He also authored an amazing 11.1 yards-per-carry average. Among his honors that season, Davis was proclaimed “Outstanding Halfback of the Year” by Walter Camp, “Outstanding Player of the Year” by the Maxwell Club and “Outstanding Player of the Year” by the Helms Foundation. After repeating as the Helms Foundation choice in 1945, Davis was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 1946, one year removed from
“MR. INSIDE” DOC BLANCHARD (#35) AND “MR. OUTSIDE” GLENN DAVIS (#41) WON BACK-TOBACK HEISMAN TROPHIES IN 1945 AND 1946. having been narrowly beaten out by Blanchard for the award. He also earned his third consecutive All-America citation. Davis finished his Army career with 2,957 yards rushing, 855 yards passing and an eyepopping total of 59 touchdowns scored (43 rushing, 14 receiving, two punt returns). His career rushing average of 8.26 yards per carry remains an NCAA record. “Anybody who ever saw Davis carry the football must realize there could not have been a greater, more dangerous running back in the history of the game,” wrote Blaik in his book, “You Have to Pay the Price.” “He was emphatically the greatest halfback I ever knew. He was not so much a dodger and side-stepper as a blazing runner who had a fourth, even fifth gear in reserve, could change direction at top speed, and fly away from tacklers as if jet-propelled.” Still, many claim that Blanchard was the best prospect of those championship Army teams. At 6 feet, 210 pounds, he was a punishing athlete
who could run, block and catch, and complemented the speedy Davis tremendously. A native of Bishopville, S.C., Blanchard initially attended the University of North Carolina, but after completing his freshman year, tried to enlist in the Navy’s V-12 program unit at North Carolina. He was turned down because he was considered overweight and had a vision problem. Blanchard then enlisted in the Army, took basic training in Miami, and was assigned to the Army Air Force’s ground school in Clovis, N.M. After finally obtaining an appointment to West Point, he entered the Academy on July 2, 1944. Like his running mate, Blanchard was a three-time All-America selection who graduated from the Academy with a Heisman Trophy tucked neatly under his arm. That was one of a wealth of honors for Blanchard, who also garnered the Maxwell Cup, Walter Camp Trophy and Sullivan Award in 1945. By winning the latter, he became the first football player chosen the outstanding amateur athlete in America. He closed his West Point docket with 1,666 yards rushing and 38 touchdowns scored (26 rushing, seven receiving, four interception returns and one kickoff return). “‘Doc’ Blanchard was the best-built athlete I ever saw: 6 feet and 208 pounds at his peak, not a suspicion of fat on him, with slim waist, Atlas shoulders, colossal legs,” Blaik wrote. “For a big man, ‘Doc’ was the quickest starter I ever saw, and in the open he ran with the niftiness as well as the speed of a great halfback. If he had been serious about it, Blanchard could have become an Olympic decathlon star.” They combined to score 97 touchdowns and 585 points from 1943 to 1946, a mark that stood as an NCAA standard for 60 years. And while their records may not last forever, the legacy of “Mr. Inside” and “Mr. Outside” certainly will.

HALL OF FAME HAS STRONG ARMY INFLUENCE Founded in 1947 by immortal journalist Grantland Rice, legendary Army coach Earl “Red” Blaik and West Point graduate Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame is dedicated to mobilizing the constructive forces of amateur football at all levels for the benefit of society as a whole. In addition to the visionary foresight of Blaik and MacArthur, who helped shape the Foundation in its early days, the College Hall of Fame carries a distinct Army flavor as 27 former players and coaches have been included among the game’s elite. In addition, others with West Point ties, like Bill Yeoman ’50 and Bob Neyland ’16, have been enshrined. Recognized as the “Father of Cougar Football,” Yeoman forged a sparkling 160-108-8 (.597) record during a 25-year stint at the University of Houston, leading the Cougars to 11 bowl games and four Southwest Conference championships. Neyland, named head coach at Tennessee in 1926, spent 27 seasons at the helm of the Volunteers’ program. In that time, his squads amassed a 173-32-12 record and captured four national championships. Neyland was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1956. The Foundation inducted its first class into the Hall of Fame in 1951, and each year the gridiron’s greatest collegians have been enshrined among the pantheon of players who have shaped the game. Today, the College Football Hall of Fame is located in South Bend, Ind. More than 900 players and coaches, who exemplified the Foundation’s basic creed of Scholarship, Citizenship and Performance, are honored in a world-class museum. Former President and Foundation Gold Medal recipient Dwight D. Eisenhower summed up the impact of college football with the following: “In football, in business, in the trades and the professions, the normal urge to excel provides one of the most hopeful assurances that our kind of society will continue to advance and prosper. Morale ... the will to win, the fighting heart ... are the honored hallmarks of the football coach and player. This morale, this will, this heart ... we need not only in athletic teams as individual, but collectively.”

ARMY FOOTBALL | BLAIK FIELD AT MICHIE STADIUM Michie Stadium, splendid in its scenic beauty and long recognized as one of the most popular stadiums in the nation, will celebrate its 87th anniversary (88th season) as the home of Army football during the 2011 campaign. Over the years, the venerable stadium has received its share of plaudits as one of the most desired locations in which to watch a college football game. Recently, noted football analyst Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN. com hailed the Academy’s game day atmosphere as among the most inspirational in the country. In addition, renowned sports periodicals Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News have heaped lofty praise upon the historic arena by listing it among their top all-time venues. The legendary facility has undergone an overhaul that will help maintain its lofty status for years to come. Included among the many upgrades in recent years are a new playing surface that was installed last summer and the addition of a state-of-the-art scoreboard with a 20-foot-by-50-foot high-definition video display that was also erected prior to the 2008 season. Realizing the need for a permanent athletic field as Army’s football program continued to assert itself nationally, West Point officials selected a patch of meadow land adjacent to Lusk Reservoir and within the shadow of historic Fort Putnam. Construction of Michie Stadium was completed in 1924, just in time for Army’s 35th football campaign. In 87 previous seasons in Michie Stadium, the Black Knights have compiled a remarkable record of 317-146-7 (.682). Only 15 Division I-A stadiums, and just six located east of the Mississippi River, are older than fabled Michie Stadium. The original stadium structure was formally dedicated to the memory of Dennis Mahan Michie, who was instrumental in starting the game of football at the U.S. Military Academy in 1890. It was Michie who organized, managed and coached the first football team in history at West Point. In honor of legendary mentor Earl “Red” Blaik, Army christened the Michie Stadium playing surface “Blaik Field” on Sept. 25, 1999, when Army hosted Ball State. Blaik, a gridiron innovator, compiled an 18-year Army record of 121-33-10 and brought the Black Knights their only three national championships (1944, 1945, 1946). The winningest coach in Army annals, Blaik is enshrined in the College Football Foundation Hall of Fame. The Black Knights honored the dedication in grand style, trouncing the Cardinals 41-21.
