Bryant BulldogsvsArmy Black Knights
BRY 3/ARMY 59
Things to say
Army throttled Bryant 59-3 at Michie Stadium behind an all-rushing touchdown parade.
01
opener
Army just ran Bryant off the field, 59-3. Every single touchdown came on the ground. Bryant crossed midfield maybe twice all day.
02
key player
Zach Mundell only touched it four times and put up 105 yards and two scores. When your backup's ripping 66-yard runs, you know the line of scrimmage belonged to Army.
03
hot take
Cale Hellums went 4-for-9 passing and nobody cared. Army doesn't need a quarterback, they need a fullback and a stopwatch. That's smashmouth football.
04
deep cut
Look at the passing yards leader for Army — 59 yards. Their leading rusher outgained the entire passing game by himself. That's the triple-option in a nutshell.
05
exit
Cupcake game to open the year. The real test is when Army runs into somebody who can actually stop the run — that's the one to watch.
The recap
Army ran Bryant off the field, 59-3, and it was smashmouth from the jump. This was a ground assault — Zach Mundell ripped off 105 yards and two scores on just four carries, including a 66-yard house call, and it felt like every Black Knight took a turn in the end zone.
Bryant couldn't move the ball all day and never sniffed the red zone, scraping together a lone field goal for their only points. When you're grinding out rushing touchdown after rushing touchdown and the other guys manage three points, that's about as lopsided as an opener gets.
