    Bryson Daily and Kanye Udoh were nearly unstoppable. The Black Knights outgained Temple 417 to -5 in rushing yards in a 42-14 win in Philadelphia.

    Daily picked up 152 yards and three touchdowns. He know has eight rushing touchdowns in just four games.

    Kanye Udoh rushed for a career-high 128 yards of his own, including a 28-yard touchdown run.

    At 4-0, Army has won all of its matchups by an average of more than 25 points per game.

    It’s definitely within the realm of possibility for Army to be 7-0 before facing Air Force on November 2nd. They have a road game against Tulsa, followed by home games against UAB and East Carolina, where Army is expected to be favored in each matchup.

    There's plenty of football ahead for them, and this could turn out to be a remarkable year for Army. They even have a shot at a College Football Playoff spot if they can rise to become the top-ranked champion from a non-Power 4 conference.

    After the game, Coach Monken talked about Army’s offensive line and the role they played in the victory.

    “The offensive line is a veteran group. They're tough guys and at times we get a really good push…give them [Temple] credit, they have a very talented football team, they beat some blocks, got us into second and eight and some longer yardage situations which we like to get a little more on first down and give ourselves a chance to kind of pound it in there on third and short and fourth and short…we punted way too much for my taste, I’d like to never punt…overall, the job of the offensive line…I thought everybody really persevered through some times where we didn't look as good as I hoped we would and we went over and made some corrections and kind of pushed the guys a little bit. They came back out and responded in the fourth quarter.”
