Louisiana Tech, thank you for stepping up and playing this game on short notice. Good luck to your program in the future. Great job Army on the Top 25 ranking.
Look, I'm a 27yr USAF veteran .....but you have to give credit where credit is due.....this bunch of guys are plain bruisers.....BEAST on that line....the entire team actually.....I really enjoyed this game.....what an excellent year for West Point!!!! "This We'll Defend". THANK YOU, future leaders of this great nation.
Army has to play differently, they have height and weight standards, unlike other colleges, because after there 4 years they are commissioning into the Army as an officer.
There's a reason Louisiana ranks last in education and high in violent crime, etc. Being from there, I can tell you it's not because of the white conservatives in the state that bring the stats down. It's cough cough another group.
the team that was supposed to play in this game (Marshall) had so many players leave, that they opted out of their bowl game, so they put in 5-7 LA Tech instead.
FOR EVERYONE ASKING WHY IS ARMY PLAYING A 5-7 LA Tech TEAM, MARSHALL (who was supposed to play in this bowl game) LOST 30 PLAYERS TO THE PORTAL & OPTED OUT SO TECH WAS THE FILL IN (Plus they literally 30 minutes away ,if that, from Shreveport)
No one in these comments knows anything about college football news, haha. Marshall was the team that was supposed to play the Army. They lost 30 players to the transfer portal. So they opted out of this bowl game. And in complete desperation, they filled it with Lousiana Tech lol.
This is a record-breaking day for Bryson Daily. He set a new FBS record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a single season, finishing with 32 touchdowns for the season. He had an incredible 95-yard touchdown run.
95-yard touchdown run? Are you thinking of Navy's Blake Horvath's run versus Oklahoma in the Armed Forces Bowl? Daily didn't have a 95-yard touchdown run in this Independence Bowl.
Coming from a LA Tech Band of Pride member who was at this game, congratulations to Army for winning this bowl. There is always next year for the dogs to improve and gain bowl eligibility.
And credit to your school for playing in this game on such short notice. I think a lot of other schools with similar records had first dibs with better APR scores, but they didn't want to play either
@@kristoffermangila well I mean Navy is dawn good at deleting ops in real life as well 🤷🏾♂️... I bet it be lit asf 🔥 when these army Navy football players be playing call of duty..it just hits different knowing if you don't make it to the NFL you just go straight into the military...now that's 🔥
"Hail, Alma Mater dear, To us be ever near, Help us thy motto bear Through all the years. Let duty be well performed, Honor be e'er untarned, Country be ever armed,West Point, by thee." "Guide us, thy sons, aright,Teach us by day, by night,To keep thine honor bright,For thee to fight.When we depart from thee, Serving on land or sea,May we still loyal be, West Point, to thee." "And when our work is done, Our course on earth is run, May it be said, 'Well Done; Be Thou At Peace.' E'er may that line of gray Increase from day to day, Live, serve, and die, we pray, West Point, for thee." Salute to our military! GO ARMY BEAT NAVY!
Maybe instead of railing on Army, I should have focused on the Marshall team that ducked out on this game when they saw their opponent. Actually that was after they quit on the rest of their teammates and the school they committed to
@@tthomas4130Your right, but these boys will get good jobs after there time in the Army, companies will see that they went to West Point + experience in the Army, and want them in a heartbeat, plus what they majored in, the Army will set then up for the rest of there lives.
Army needed better competition for a bowl game. Ranked #22 playing an unranked 5-7 team. Army could have exploited LT D if they would have utilized the passing game better.
@whitebird357 What I heard happened was the team who was supposed to go against Army was a 8-4 team (Marshall) and then ended up opting out the last day they could from the bowl game. I don't know why, but they had to have someone else take their place and just two years ago LTU was actually a solid defensive team and now look how far they've fallen.
You could watch a Bowl game and then, less than a mile away from the game, smoke some crack. Welcome to Crackport. They most likely needed the national guard to protect the cars in the parking lot. Beautiful view of the oil refinery right out the South end zone. Very competitive game too
First off, kudos to La Tech for stepping up when Marshall "portal'ed out." Second, kudos to Navy for upsetting Army. Third, gratz to Coach Monken and the Black Knights for representing. (Retired Army here).
In my personal opinion this is why FBS needs to play an FCS or division 2 style playoff system because I love to see a team like Army play a bigger brand school now of course you'll have a bunch of people in my comments saying they would get blown out and nine times out of 10 you could be right but the opportunity of that one time they could win is what makes Sports interesting I think if your record is good enough within reason you should be in the mix just like college basketball you could be from a No Name school if you have a good enough record you have a great chance of making it in the tournament
From USA Today: Louisiana Tech was the replacement for Marshall, who opted out of the Independence Bowl due to losing a large group of players to the transfer portal. Louisiana Tech was then selected due to its Academic Progress Rate, despite not having the highest among 5-win teams.
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
This is an insult to a 10-2and 22nd ranked Army team. A lot of teams don't have top players playing in some of these games. Still, a 5-7 team shouldn't have the privilege to play Army. It's an insult.
I feel bad for the Wide Receivers on army. You might have a chance to catch the ball 20 times all season long and that is if you are really lucky. That was 85s first catch of the season and the season is over already 😂😂 I swear 99 percent of army's play book is run plays
Army getting this game is sad, not only is this basically a nothing burger game (winning isnt an accomplishment) but it also isnt even about them even if they win.
Wow Army beats a team that went 5 and 7 against some of the worst competition in the country, losing to the likes of Jax State, Sam Houston, New Mexico State, FIU and now their fans are all hyped like they really did something.
Louisiana Tech, thank you for stepping up and playing this game on short notice. Good luck to your program in the future. Great job Army on the Top 25 ranking.
Who was supposed to play
@sssquirrely Marshall, their coach left and they had a significant number of players leave the program.
@bryantsherman503 thanks I was confused why a 5-7 team was in a bowl game lol
Hats off to LA Tech for stepping in.
Love how that QB got up laughing about that hit. Great sportsmanship.
LA Tech #13 Fields will be playing for Angola in the near future - tight end.
@@fluffybabypolliwogyou’re a hater lame
Props to my Tech dogs for stepping up and playing the bowl game in the last minute.

Congrats to Army and all our future leaders
Who cares? We watched the "Heisman" winner do absolutely nothing
Who cares about the heismen winner? 😂@@jamesb9300
Army has to play differently, they have height and weight standards, unlike other colleges, because after there 4 years they are commissioning into the Army as an officer.
I was at the game just now leaving and it was a pleasure watching . Daily is so tuff
That kid Fields parents must be so proud. Starting fights after the whistle down 21 against a trained killer is wild.
😂

Don't care about the transfer portal junk. An insult to Army. They should have had a better bowl game to begin with.
Still got killed by navy 😮🙃
Well they should’ve won more games it’s not that complicated
@@coolbreeze756Yea they couldn't defend the trenches vs Navy...Oline and Dline got pushed around and abused lol
They did have a better bowl game to begin with, Marshall had to opt out of this game because too many of their players refused to play
They deserved a better bowl
How a 5 win Ltech eligible?
Because the hurricane that affected Louisiana this year, so it helps raise there state more money.
Marshall pulled out from there bowl game
Marshall lost 30 guys overnight to the portal. LT is about 10 minutes away.
the team that was supposed to play in this game (Marshall) had so many players leave, that they opted out of their bowl game, so they put in 5-7 LA Tech instead.

about an hour and then some
30 minutes away if you're making the trip with a helicopter maybe
I would rather have a ranked opponent face Army instead.
I still think that Army should have played Colorado in their bowl game.
Or at least 5-7 Auburn or 5-7 Kansas as replacement
Army would've beaten Colorado.
Colorado probably wishes they'd played West Point too...god bless america
@bobbydouglass1813 I just think that it would be a more interesting game. Plus I would bet that Army would still win.
Colorado played like a high-school team....not even THEY should have been in a Bowl....
Bryson daily a beast
Great end to a great season for the Army.
Yes they won 12 games but it wasn’t a great season by Army standards because they lost to Navy.
No one in these comments knows anything about college football news, haha. Marshall was the team that was supposed to play the Army. They lost 30 players to the transfer portal. So they opted out of this bowl game. And in complete desperation, they filled it with Lousiana Tech lol.

Thank you for your service, sir!

Really, Louisiana Tech is trying to pick a fight with people skilled in deleting the ops? 🤣😆🤯
And an Army team that had tons of frustration after losing to Navy during the Army-Navy Game a few days ago?
@@kristoffermangila well I mean Navy is dawn good at deleting ops in real life as well 🤷🏾♂️... I bet it be lit asf 🔥 when these army Navy football players be playing call of duty..it just hits different knowing if you don't make it to the NFL you just go straight into the military...now that's 🔥
You can tell you have no idea whatvthe military academy are. More on leadership and academics.
I love when when people try to speak about the military when they have no idea what they are talking about

Love watching army's offense the offset single wing the spider the wing t the wishbone great stuff!
Congratulations to Army! 👏👏👏
Gotta find somebody to play in all these bowl games
apparently...
Maybe instead of railing on Army, I should have focused on the Marshall team that ducked out on this game when they saw their opponent. Actually that was after they quit on the rest of their teammates and the school they committed to
LOL, that player wanted to start a fight a with a bunch of Army guys, son, you need to be drunk first.
That Lo-Tech player will be sweeping a supermarket floor soon while every cadet at USMA will be leading men and protecting our country.

Good Game Army 🪖💪💪
Good season- Army !

What does this stadium get used for other than this one bowl game?
Some high school teams in the city use it but other than that nothing. We need usfl team or something here
Battle on the Border games, a city high school uses it and some other things.

@@zaynes5094 Interesting. Independence Bowl use to attract high caliber teams before the playoff system started.
@@whitebird357Marshall lost about 30 players to the transfer portal so they opted out.
@@SpreadDemocracyUSA Yes, I researched that earlier today. That is unfortunate. College football isn't what it use to be.
@@zaynes5094: Side note, Marshall was 10-3, not 8-4
OMG---what a blood-bath!! Great job, Knights!!
Army vs. Kansas would've been one of the best bowls games this season if they could've made that happen
La Tech playing Army is the biggest finesse in bowl game history(LA finessed)
The announcer almost said it when La Tech players started shoving the Army players, "I wouldn't do that."
Lol, not everyone in the military can fight. 😂

Proud of my army
Army tough and Army strong
How did they get into the bowl game
Marshall was to play but lost their coach and many players entered the portal and left the team with very few players.. so they opted out of the bowl
way to go army!
720p? really espn?
I hate how they show the team who won in the thumbnail. I don't want to know. That's why I'm watching highlights.
Army football is life
NICE!
running only is actually troll af lol
Let's go Army!!! They should be in the playoffs...😂😅
Easypost Hawaii Bowl. Coastal Carolina VS San Jose State

Army plays like me in Madden 😂 Spam run plays
Great season, West Point. Capped off with a win over Louisiana Tech, and Navy over Oklahoma.
First off, kudos to La Tech for stepping up when Marshall "portal'ed out." Second, kudos to Navy for upsetting Army. Third, gratz to Coach Monken and the Black Knights for representing. (Retired Army here).
76 Birmingham Bowl. Troy VS Duke
Army was just more physical up front. They dominated the line of scrimmage all game.
Louisiana Tech stepping up to take this game is impressive. Army still lost to Navy. Navy is the best Military team, period!
This year anyway both teams go back and fourth so navy won it this year and next year army will win watch
Army = AAC champs
Navy.....
That was a franky suuuuuuuper

Quick Lane Bowl. Bowling Green VS Minnesota

Regardless the opponents, Army will destroy them.
Opponents in the sense teams in the 6-6, 7-5, 8-4, 9-3 and ranking above 15.
6:32 #8 has no vision , the whole left side was completely green grass for 6
Disrespectful to put 5-7 against 11-2. A 6-6 SEC team would have been a better match-up
Army would’ve have won with the score either way.
