• The Black Knights won the only previous meeting, 31-13, on Sept. 14, 2019.
TEXAS COOKIN'
• The Black Knights are 5-2 in games under head coach Jeff Monken in the state of Texas, a fertile recruiting ground for the Black Knights.
• The Black Knights have won three-straight in Texas heading into Saturday, with a 31-13 win at UTSA in 2019, a 70-14 victory over Houston in the 2018 Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas, and a 42-35 win over San Diego State in the 2017 Armed Forces Bowl also in Fort Worth.
• 21 Black Knights hail from the state of Texas, although none directly from the San Antonio area.
• Most notably, quarterback Jemel Jones hails from The Colony and b-back Cade Barnard from Seminole.
OFF TO A 4-1 START
• This is just the fifth time since 1970 that Army has won at least four games in its first five tilts. The Black Knights started the 1996 season with a 5-0 record. They started 4-1 in 1985, 1988 and 1993.
700 WINS
•The 55-23 victory over ACU was the 700th in the program.
•The last 50 wins (650 to 700) took just the better part of nine seasons (Sept. 17, 2011 to Oct. 3, 2020). The previous 50 wins (600 to 650) took 15 seasons (Sept. 28, 1996 to Sept. 17, 2011).
DEFENSIVE PROWESS
• The Black Knights defense forced two turnovers with a pair of interceptions vs. The Citadel. The Army defense is up to 10 takeaways on the season with six interceptions and four fumbles.
