Las Vegas - You know that we love the history and pageantry at West Point, but there's some other history to talk about in this American Conference Championship game. And it revolves around Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall. Most teams and coaches have NO idea how to handle Army and its devastating rushing attack. Coach Sumrall KNOWS! Your boy Ecks had to do a deep dive into Sumrall's history page and here's what we found. We know that Sumrall coached at Troy for two years and posted an exceptional 23-4 record. But unless you looked at the fine print, you probably didn't see that his Troy Trojans played Army twice, and WON BOTH! And, held the Cadets to only 9 points in 2022, a 10-9 win, and fed the Army a 19-0 BAGEL in 2023. If you're interested, here are the stats. Sumrall's kids gave up 279 yards on the ground in that 2022 game and only 177 yards last season. So Sumrall knows a little somethin' somethin' about stopping this Army rushing attack that is the BEST in the country at 312 yards per.

Finally, if you looked at Army's schedule, the Cadets have a tiny little meaningless game coming up next week against, yup, NAVY! Did anyone say LOOK AHEAD? If you're thinking Tulane, and we are, and you're a little nervous about laying the 4.5 or 5, then punch in the money line and enjoy a nice deposit.
