Wouldn’t that be something?

As for this year’s game, Army has had the better of the series in recent years. It won 20-17 in a double-overtime thriller last season and has won five of the last seven.

An Army win over Navy would give the Knights the trophy. 

A win will not send either team to a bowl game: Both teams enter the game with records of 5-6, but the winner will not be going bowling after all the bowl slots were filled. Minnesota received a bowl bit at 5-7…
