Challenges for Army

The programs that have been the most efficient and creative in the way they do the business of practice will have the best chances for game success.

On the field, Middle Tennessee junior quarterback Asher O’Hara is a solid, dual-threat quarterback. In 2019 O’Hara three for 2,616 yards with completing 210 of 335 passes for 20 scores. He also ran for 1,058 yards on 199 carries (5.3 ypc).
