Behind Enemy Lines: Game 1 Preview - Bryant
- Bryant beat Stonehill 24-6 in its opener behind 191 rushing yards; quarterback Griff Myer went 10-of-20 for 108 yards and added a rushing touchdown, while Ryan Ross ran 18 times for 102 yards and a score.
- Bryant's defense produced two sacks and a strip sack, and its special teams blocked a punt; returner Gary Williams is a preseason FCS All-American who creates an additional field-position risk.
- Army's offense needs cleaner first-down production and fewer turnovers and pre-snap errors, with chunk gains from the quarterback and fullbacks central to staying on schedule.
- The Black Knights are replacing eight defensive starters, making inside-linebacker execution a key early variable even against an overmatched opponent.
- The preview set holding Bryant to one or two scores as the defensive benchmark and projected Army 45-10 against a market line of Army minus 36.5; a comfortable lead could also create developmental snaps for young quarterbacks Bryson Luter and Ethan Washington while protecting starter Cale Hellums.
