Army falls short to visiting Boston College, 27-24
A.M. Allan here and let me jump-start our post-game before I pass the baton over to GBK Analyst Joe Iacono who will provide us with his insight into Army’s loss to their 2nd straight ACC opponent ... today it was Boston College.
Pre-game weather and score predictions didn't completely manifest themselves today, as the Army Black Knights came into Saturday's game at West Point as 2.5-point favorites over visiting Boston College, but fell short, 27-24.
The weather forecast predicted 68 degrees, with precipitation at 79% and it was a downpour throughout the game ... but one that both teams had to endure.

Perhaps a few barometers reflect Army’s play today. One was Head Coach Monken’s halftime remarks … “ Too many coaching and fundamental errors and frankly I am embarrassed.”
The 2nd would be on during the 2nd quarter and Army trailing 6-0, but with the ball and 2nd & goal at the BC 5 (10:59), QB Bryson Daily misses wide-open tight end Joshua Lingenfelter. The Black Knights had to eventually settle for a field goal to close the gap, 6-3.
The 3rd being Daily’s illegal forward pass to RB Hayden Reed with 5:40 remaining in the game, albeit the QB had already made the 1st and perhaps Army could have simply run out the clock leading 24-20.
