With the bye week in the rearview, Army Football turns its attention to the West Coast and San Jose State. After five straight games against previously undefeated opponents, Saturday’s contest marks the first of the season in which the Black Knights will be clear, obvious, uncontested favorites over an ostensibly bad team. That’s not a good thing, nor is it helpful that the game itself will take place nearly 3,000 miles from home in a distinctly unfamiliar stadium. This is the very definition of a trap game. It’s a good match-up, though, because it helps Army sell its brand out on the far coast, and in that, the San Jose Spartans did the Academy a favor by staging the contest at Levi Stadium. Still, this is the kind of game that tests the focus of a young team. Army’s had a decent season so far, but they still stand just 3-2. The Black Knights badly need a win this week to stay on the path towards bowl eligibility.
