Army adds 12th game at Top 20 ranked Cincinnati on September 26th to complete rebuild of schedule.
This creates a stretch of eight weeks straight of games and a challenging back to back with the home game vs BYU on the 19th followed by trip to Cincinnati the following week.
As coach Monken described last week, this leaves only weeks for preparation instead of the months of off season in normal years.
Great work by Mike Buddie and to Bob Beretta who worked for months to put this schedule together featuring nine new opponents.
Below is announcement from Academy:

Football Adds No. 20 Cincinnati to 2020 Schedule
WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point football has added a game at No. 21 Cincinnati on Saturday, Sept. 26,2020 part of a home-and-home series it was announced Wednesday afternoon.
Game one of the series will be at Nippert Stadium this upcoming Sept. 26, while the return game in the series is set for Oct. 4, 2031 at Michie Stadium.
The Bearcats are currently ranked No. 20 in the Preseason AP Poll.
The Black Knights and the Bearcats have met six times in program history and the record is an even 3-3 in those games. The first game was in 1963 at Michie Stadium, a 22-0 victory by the Black Knights. The last meeting between the two clubs was in 2004 at Michie Stadium, where Army fell, 48-29.
The game on Sept. 26 will be the first in Cincinnati for the Black Knights since a close 33-29 loss in 2003. UC leads the series 2-1 in contests played at Nippert Stadium.
The addition of the Cincinnati game completes the Black Knights’ 2020 schedule, adding to a previously announced 12-game slate.
Game time and TV information will be available at a later date.
Currently, Cincinnati will start the 2020 season without fans at Nippert Stadium. The admittance of fans in the stadium later in the season will only be done if it is determined it can be done safely. There is no timeline on such a determination.
