Army (6-4) became bowl eligible for the first time since 1996 after
beating Kent State 45-28, joining Navy and Air Force in going to a bowl
game this year. Army, Navy and Air Force have never played in a bowl
game in the same season. Army does not have a bowl tie-in but is a
backup for the Armed Forces Bowl and Military Bowl, while Navy (7-3) is
headed to the Poinsettia Bowl and Air Force will go to a Mountain West
tie-in. Navy and Air Force (7-4) had already clinched their bowl
eligibility, but won on Saturday with their backup quarterbacks. The
Midshipmen started Kriss Procter in place of Ricky Dobbs, out with a concussion, and beat Central Michigan 38-37. Air Force relied on Connor Dietz, who replaced an injured Tim Jefferson in the second quarter of a 48-23 win over New Mexico.
