Air Force’s best edge on Army is running
Each unit against the one it meets, by national percentile this season. A filled dot is the attack and a ring is the defense it meets; the first name is the attack. Further right is better for both.

How they play
Army fields an elite run-heavy, methodical, ball-control offense behind a porous defense, though it gives up the big play.
Percentile vs all FBS, based on this season's per-game production. Bar = where this team ranks — right is better.
Player percentiles
Army reads strongest in rushing EPA (top 1%) and EPA / play (top 6%); the crux lives in rushing EPA allowed, where Army sits at the 4th percentile.

Home-field advantage · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Army is worth +4.8 points more at home than on the road.
Middle of FBS, 61st percentile of 133 programs
69% at home, 46% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (27-12 home, 18-21 away). Interval ±4.1.
The stadium and how the home edge is measured
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge. The books use about 3. Per-team versions were tested and did not hold up (why). Against the closing line, Army has beaten the number by −3.3 more at home than away over 90 games. That is inside the ±6.5 that many games can resolve, so the results cannot tell this stadium from the flat number. That is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.
Michie Stadium seats 38,000 and has averaged 71% full (27,143, 28 games reported). Visitors cover a median 734 miles to get here (2018-present). 5% of the 2026 roster (10 of 189 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.
Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 54 home games since 2018. No national trip rank shown: the ranked field is FBS venues only and leaves out the service academies and venues with too few measured games. Service-academy rosters are filled by congressional nomination rather than ordinary recruiting and run well past normal FBS size — read the local share against that.

Usage splits
How the players get used
From the 2025 season's play-by-play
- Garbage timeCarson Smith sees a real spike in usage once the game is out of reach, and his efficiency in competitive snaps sits below the position baseline: the numbers lean on the opponent giving up.
- UnderdogNoah Short produces at a notably lower rate when his team is an underdog than when favored: he fades when the pressure is on, and his per-target value drops too.
- Deep threatNoah Short is a real deep-ball threat: a high share of his targets come on throws past the sticks.
Position battles
RB room
The carries are split. The job isn’t.
Godspower Nwawuihe and Carson Smith split the carries (77/115 vs 38/115) -- but the job isn't split the same way. Godspower Nwawuihe produces in bigger chunks.

Army by half
1st-half offense ranks 94th percentile in FBS; 2nd-half, 91st — competitive snaps only, garbage time excluded from both halves.
How much of Army’s number is the schedule?
Raw EPA/play through week 10 is 0.31; 95th percentile once opponent strength is stripped out, it's 0.12. The widest gap came in week 2: 0.69 raw vs. 0.06 adjusted.

How Army’s current staff calls plays, year over year
Pass defense by zone
What this team throws, and gives up, by depth.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Army’s passing game completes a completion rate below the FBS mean (66.7% vs 67.0% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 65-play sample) — mid-pack, 57 of 136 qualifying offenses.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Army’s defense allows a completion rate above the FBS mean (68.9% vs 66.3% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 190-play sample) — mid-pack, 125 of 137 qualifying defenses.
We won’t show a deep-ball (20+ air yards) leaderboard here, on either side of the ball: even a full season of charted plays gives most teams well under 30 deep attempts — too thin to tell a real tendency from noise, so we won’t guess. Same refusal for yards-after-catch allowed and where a team’s attempts land by zone: both measured and both came back statistically indistinguishable from season-to-season noise.
Havoc & trenches
Disruption, run-blocking, and down-and-distance efficiency.
Takeaways
Converting 14% of pass disruptions into takeaways — right in line with the ~18% league rate.
3 interceptions of 22 disrupted passes (19 deflected, 3 intercepted), 2026 only.
Penalties
The penalty battle is a wash: 33 penalties committed vs. 41 drawn on opponents.
285 penalty yards committed vs. 287 drawn on opponents, 2026 season total.
