Army is coming off a 31-14 home loss to Georgia State last Saturday. For a team many had pegged to go over their 8.5 season win total, the 1-3 record is disappointing. If Army coach Jeff Monken is truly up for the Georgia Tech position in Atlanta, the cadets of West Point might just let him go there in hopes both parties can be rejuvenated.
For coach Dave Clawson and the Demon Deacons, last week’s 31-24 upset victory at then-No. 22 Florida State was the perfect way to come back from a heartbreaking 51-45 loss to Clemson in double overtime the prior week.
