The Army West Point Black Knights and the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers will face off at 7 p.m. ET Sept. 3 at Brooks Stadium to kick off their 2022 seasons. Army ended up 9-4 last year and capped things off with a win over the Missouri Tigers in the Armed Forces Bowl, so they are on the hunt for another strong season. Likewise, after an 11-2 record last season and a win in the Cure Bowl, Coastal Carolina is coming in with an eye to spark another quality season.
A couple last-season offensive stats to keep an eye on: The Black Knights were the best in the nation in rushing touchdowns, finishing the 2021 season with 46. The Chanticleers displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they ranked sixth in the nation in overall offensive touchdowns, closing the year with 69 overall.
