2023 Army Black Knights football team

American college football season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2023 Army Black Knights football team represented the United States Military Academy in the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Black Knights were led by 10th-year head coach Jeff Monken and played their home games at Michie Stadium in West Point, New York. They competed as an independent and finished with a 6–6 record—the team was not invited to a bowl game as they had not met bowl eligibility requirements when bowl matchups were announced in early December. Even if they had accumulated six wins at that time, two of their wins were against FCS opponents.

For this year's clash, Army was inspired by the 3rd Infantry Division, honoring the "Dogface Soldiers" and their 'legacy of excellence'. The Nike-designed uniforms features a color-rush tan desert motif for the infantry's role in the Iraq War. The division's famous mascot "Rocky the bulldog", a Walt Disney creation, appears on both sides of the helmet with a black stripe.^[62]
