Army takes Liberty Bowl spot left by Tennessee's withdrawal
Read full article: Army takes Liberty Bowl spot left by Tennessee's withdrawalWhen that bowl game was called off because there was not another team available, it suddenly left Army looking for a postseason opponent. A spot in the Liberty Bowl became available Monday when Tennessee became the first team to back out since bowl berths were announced. The change to its Liberty Bowl opponent was no problem for West Virginia (5-4). “Our team deserves to be in a bowl and so does the 9-2 Army squad,” West Virginia athletic director Shane Lyons said. Frankly, I think we were stunned to find out the opportunity would be in a bowl like the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

Tyhier Tyler scored on a 4-yard run early in the fourth quarter, the Army defense stoned Navy with a goal-line stand in the third, and the Black Knights beat their archrival 15-0 on Saturday at fog-shrouded Michie Stadium. It was the first meeting between the teams at West Point since a 13-0 Navy shutout in 1943. Navy sang second, as is tradition for the winner of the game, last year in Philadelphia after a 31-7 triumph. He first took his place with cadets on the Army side of the stadium for much of the first quarter before joining Navy midshipmen in the second quarter.

Ten-Hut! Mask On! Class of 2024 to West Point amid pandemic
Read full article: Ten-Hut! Mask On! Class of 2024 to West Point amid pandemicA West Point cadet reads the New Cadet Handbook on his first day at the U.S. Military Academy, Monday, July 13, 2020, in West Point, N.Y. The transition from civilian to West Point cadet is different for the Class of 2024 as the academy adapts to the pandemic, starting with Reception Day, or R-Day. Reception Day still ushers in an intense period of training that introduces new arrivals to the rigors of cadet life. I still think we have a very good plan to acculturate them to West Point and the Army, Buzzard said. At West Point, new cadets will be formally accepted into the Corps of Cadets after training.
