The Army Black Knights will be like no other football team the UConn Huskies have played this year.
Sure UConn has faced running quarterbacks in their games against BYU and Boise State earlier this season. But they haven’t faced an offense like the one Army uses since the 2011 season, the dreaded triple-option.
