Army student displays hilarious ‘communism’ sign ahead of game against Air Force
An Army student’s sign declaring “The Forward Pass is Communist” caught the attention of broadcaster Mark Ingram II before Army’s game against Air Force. The joke reflects Army’s run-heavy playing style, which is unusual in a college football landscape where many teams rely heavily on passing.
Through eight games, Army averaged 342.5 rushing yards per game, leading the FBS, and had scored 31 rushing touchdowns. It averaged 69.1 passing yards per game, ranking 137th of 138 teams, with 85 pass attempts and four passing touchdowns. Army, 5-3, hosted 6-2 Air Force in the annual Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy contest, with both teams described as the nation’s leading rushing offences.
