West Virginia gets challenge of playing Army in Liberty Bowl
By TERESA M. WALKER December 30, 2020 GMT
Count West Virginia coach Neal Brown among those wanting to see Army play a bowl game.
He will get the chance when his Mountaineers take on Army in the Liberty Bowl after the Black Knights were tapped as a COVID-19 replacement for Tennessee. Brown sees this as a big opportunity for West Virginia.
“It’s maybe going to be the most watched bowl game outside the national semifinals,” Brown said. “And I understand, and our kids understand, there probably won’t be a whole lot of people outside the state of West Virginia pulling for us. It’s going to be a fun afternoon.”

Army-Navy Game Preview, Prediction
From 2002-15, this series was dominated by Navy, which won 14 straight meetings with its biggest rival. Army finally ended that run by winning three in a row itself from 2016-18. However, the Midshipmen went back on top with a 31-7 victory in Philadelphia last season.
