2013 Army Preview: College Football Zealots

The top Army football preview of the summer is available over at College Football Zealots. It is my favorite preview because I was tapped to do the Q&A.

In the Q&A we look at the QB situation, some of the personnel the Black Knights have coming back and some of the expectations for the season. You can find the preview and my responses to their questions here.

College Football Zealots puts out a lot of content. There are a ton of other teams' Q&A previews on the site and I like most of the blogs that participated, so check out the Q&A and take a look at the other previews. You'll find a link to College Football Zealots on the left sidebar under CFB Blogs. If you're unfamiliar with the members of their blogroll, by all means click through and see the sites.

Happy Memorial Day

Preseason Accolades

Seven Army players were selected for Phil Steele's All-Independent team. 

Senior RB Raymond Maples, junior DT Robert Kough and junior FS Geoffery Bacon all earned first-team Preseason All-Independent honors from Phil Steele Publications. The group of first-team selections accounted for three of Army’s seven total honorees.

Junior FB Larry Dixon and junior OG Stephen Shumaker were second-team choices, while junior C Ryan Powis and sophomore LB Alex Meier picked up third-team accolades.

The rest of Phil Steele's Preseason All-Independent team can be seen here. 


There are watch lists out as well and Geoff Bacon and Ryan Powis have been singled out for a couple. Bacon wound up on the Ronnie Lott IMPACT Trophy watch list (IMPACT defensive player of the year) and Powis is listed as a contender for the Rimington Trophy given to the nation's top center.
