The upcoming game between the Army Black Knights and the Florida Atlantic Owls at FAU Stadium promises to be an intriguing contest between contrasting styles of play. Army, coming off a decisive 35-10 victory against Delaware State, relies heavily on its triple-option offense, which is consistently one of the most potent rushing attacks in college football. In their season opener, Army rushed for 375 yards, ranking 2nd in the country for rushing yards per game. This style of play not only puts pressure on opposing defenses but also keeps them on the field longer, tiring them out as the game progresses.

On the other hand, the FAU Owls will look to rebound after a disappointing 24-13 loss to Ohio in their opener. The Owls struggled to generate offensive consistency, accumulating only 277 total yards. Quarterback Casey Thompson managed just 116 passing yards, and the running game contributed only 132 yards. Defensively, FAU allowed 297 yards and will have to shore up their defensive front to withstand Army’s relentless ground game. The Owls’ key to victory will likely hinge on their ability to adjust defensively and take advantage of any mistakes made by the Black Knights. Given these dynamics, the game could be decided by whether FAU can adapt and respond to Army’s physical style and whether the Black Knights can continue their offensive dominance on the ground.
