Yes you read that right, in late August the Army Black Knights have received a bowl invitation from the
Poinsettia Bowl if they win the needed 6 games. The Poinsettia Bowl is played in San Diego on Dec. 19 at Qualcomm Stadium and it pits an at-large team against a team from the Mountain West Conference.
Last year the Black Knights started the season 0-6 before winning their next 4 games. They finished the year with a loss to their rival Navy, but coach Bobby Ross is optimistic about this year's team. Under an NCAA bylaw that went into effect earlier this month, a team can go to a bowl game with a 6-6 record if a contract is in place before the first game of the season.
