Army star QB Bryson Daily to miss game vs. Air Force

NT80 · November 2

WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Army star quarterback Bryson Daily will miss Saturday's game against Air Force with an undisclosed injury/illness, Army officials told ESPN.

With Daily sidelined, junior Dewayne Coleman will fill in at quarterback and make his first career start. There is no timetable at this point on how long Daily might be out of the lineup, but Army officials don't think it's a season-ending setback.

Could be good news. Air Force is hanging in and handling the Army offense. AF does not have the O-Power we have.
I am gaining confidence for next week

Army is running the ball very well against Air Force.

Army’s good, but not great. For those who complain that we haven’t beaten a team with a winning record, check out Army’s schedule. We’d be undefeated and either ranked or receiving votes with their schedule. I think they’ll be the 4th best team we’ve played this year.

But is it a 2-week setback?? 🤔

Army has a Bye Week after us, then plays Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium. My guess is they will rest him for our game and the bye week to be ready to face Notre Dame (their Super Bowl).

Notre Dame is an historical rival for Army, but their Super Bowl always has been and always will be Navy.

For reference, Wyoming beat Air Force 31-19.

If Daily is healthy, he will play.

Army has a bye before Notre Dame, but even if we didn't, a healthy Daily would play against North Texas.

NT93 · November 3

He’s a Texas boy from Abernathy, so this is about as close to home as he’ll get to play.

I would not putting them not playing him since they have to play Notre Dame next week. Especially if it rains they don't want to risk injuring him worse. Go Green, win one for the Gipper. If we happen to beat them and then beat UTSA, East Carolina, and Temple to be 9-3 it should increase our chances of a decent bowl game.

If he is able to play he will.If he is and they don't its because Army thinks they don't need him to beat us, which they do.

I agree 100% but they run the ball and our defense doesn't have an answer for that apparently.

As I already pointed out, Army has a bye between North Texas and Notre Dame.

You don't even know what his injury is, so thinking that rain increases the chance of making it worse is a leap.

Regardless, if he's healthy, he'll play.

Army controls its own destiny in the conference, so why in the world would we choose to put anything other than the best available players on the field for a conference game?

MAYBE if it wasn't a conference game he'd be a healthy scratch. But that kind of decision doesn't sound at all like the Coach Monken I've seen & heard for the past decade.

He didn't even attend the Air Force game, so it can't be too good, unless it was like Flu or intestinal, etc.

Bryson Daily will start/play against North Texas, Someone tell the Greenie Defense to strap it on. They will not stop him or Udoh. Army is not looking to the ND game this week.. That game is almost three weeks away for them -- not even in sight. The Army D is looking to intercept at least 3 passes and record 7 sacks against your pass happy offense. Strap it on!

Wasn't sure which thread to put this in, but since it's Daily-specific, I figured this was as good as any:

I hope he plays.

We want no excuses because the backup had to play.

I'll gladly take that excuse if it means a better shot at a W on Saturday.

We're not good enough to care about what other people think about our W's. Just get 'em any way you can.
