Army football maintains run-heavy approach against Air Force
Summary

Army football prepares for a matchup against Air Force on November 7 at Michie Stadium, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Head coach Jeff Monken emphasizes the team's commitment to its run-heavy offensive strategy despite challenges in recent meetings, where Army has struggled to exceed its rushing average. The team's recent 49-22 loss to Memphis has complicated its hopes for a strong finish in the American Conference, but Army remains focused on upcoming games against East Carolina and Rice. A victory in any of these contests would secure a bowl game appearance for the Black Knights.
