• Bryson Daily was unable to push the ball in the Dome last weekend when the Cadets fell behind, only going 9/21 for 145 yards with a touchdown to two picks.

Corey’s Free Pick
Boston College’s defensive struggles may get them in trouble here, as they might have a tough time stopping a more balanced Army team, but with the tools they have offensively, they’re worth a look as underdogs here. Two of BC’s first three losses have been by a field goal or less, so they’ve been competing, it’s just a matter of stopping their opening. The Over will be in play, but give Boston College a look here as road underdogs.
