Good morning, I know it has been about five days since my last post.
Here is the latest on Army Football as the season inches closer and closer.
The nominees for the Doak Walker Award were announced on 17 July. This is the award given to the top running back in the nation. For Army, Raymond Maples and Terry Baggett made the list of 53 running backs.
According to the Army Black Knights football website, Maples ran for 1,000 yards in his sophomore and junior seasons, but his 2013 season was cut short due to an injury. He is the third Army back to run for more than 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons. He has ten games with 100 yards or more.
Baggett filled the void left by the Maples' injury by rushing for more than 1,304 yards during the 2013 campaign. This past season included an Army record of 304 yards rushing against Eastern Michigan and six games of at least 100 yards.

The Army football team is featured in an article on the Vavel website as teams to improve for the 2014 season. There are a total of six teams discussed in the article along with the Black Knights, to include Air Force, Central Michigan, Northwestern, Texas Christian and Washington State. The Black Knights finished the 2013 season with a 3-9 record, but according to Vavel the team will improve due to their winnable schedule.
