PHILADELPHIA, PA - Tragedy and triumph describe the most bitter fought Army-Navy football battle in history yesterday, which resulted in victory for Army, who used a unique mixture of football tactics along with high-tech weaponry to defeat Navy with a final score of 0-0.
The rivalry between the service academies of West Point and Annapolis has never been more tense. Yesterday's victory marks the first Army victory over Navy in a decade.
"We realized going into this matchup that we needed to develop a better strategy," said West Point Head Coach Rich Ellerson. "So we took a serious look at their defense and realized they had a huge weakness that we could exploit."
Ellerson explained that his epiphany helped him understand fundamental differences in Army vs. Navy doctrine.
