Army Offense Does Their Part
On Saturday versus Northern Illinois the Army offense was back to the impressive antics that all of the Black Knight fans are familiar with. The offense was led by senior quarterback Trent Steelman, fullback Larry Dixon, and running back Raymond Maples.

Down 40-35 with 4:29 to play, Lynch connected with a streaking Martel Moore from eight yards out -- their second touchdown on the afternoon -- and the Huskies sent Army to its fifth straight home-opening defeat 41-40 on Saturday.
