Army is much improved this year and have a tough option offense w/ Steelman and Hassin playing FB. fun team to watch and a stingy D but they haven't played a strong schedule (will probably come in at 6-6). SMU should be able to beat them with what's essentially a home game vs a team coming from 1500+ miles away.

I love Army football (being a native New Yorker) but I love SMU more. Go SMU, beat Army! (although not too bad)

I wouldnt just say an easy win as with their Army ball/clock control offense, that means SMU will again have limited touches on offense so will need to be efficient on possessions and we haven't been all year.
Add to that there will be a huge contingent of Armed Services in the crowd and dare say will be a bigger and even louder crowd for them than for SMU.....

Yep, and our offense is the same as Navy's.

Just like yours is the same as Hawai'i's. :D

Headline of the Armed Forces Bowl release is "SMU ACCEPTS 2010 BELL HELICOPTER ARMED FORCES BOWL BID."

Dunno how much more official it can be.

I think smupony94 needs to make it official.
