WEST POINT, N.Y. -- After five straight losing seasons, coach Jeff Monken and Army bid farewell to Michie Stadium Saturday hoping for a big finish.Back over .500? Check. Still alive for a bowl? Check.Beat Navy for the first time since 2001?Well see in three weeks.Before all that, the Black Knights had to take care of Morgan State -- and they had little trouble doing so. Andy Davidson ran for two touchdowns on 111 yards, Cole Macek added two more scores and 108 yards and Army crushed the Bears 60-3. Darnell Woolfolk added a score on 104 yards to keep the Black Knights (6-5) in the hunt for their first bowl game since 2010, thanks to their largest margin of victory since 1958.But first comes Navy.I dont know a bigger football game, said Monken. Thats a goal of ours as a program, to play in the postseason. Itd be great to have that opportunity, but we have no control over getting in right now. We have one game in the world right now and thats the Army-Navy game.Armys triple option, which stalled badly in a 44-6 loss to Notre Dame a week ago, returned to form against an FCS defense that came in allowing 32 points per game. The Black Knights scored on their first two drives and led 29-3 by halftime.The nations No. 2 rushing offense wound up with 504 yards, 561 total yards, as Army clinched its second six-win season since 1996.Chris Andrews (8 for 20) threw for 79 yards for the Bears (2-8, 2-5 MEAC), who converted just three of 16 third downs. Morgan State, which hasnt won a road game since October 2015, failed to score a touchdown for the second time this year and was held to 124 yards of offense.Armys defense clamped down on Morgan States opening drive, forcing a three-and-out, and the Black Knights scored on their ensuing possession, capped by Davidsons 23-yard score.After forcing another punt, the Black Knights got into the red zone on Woolfolks 42-yard rush to the 5. Ahmad Bradshaw ran in on a keeper one play later and the Black Knights led 13-0.Stymied on the ground, the overmatched Bears caught a break in the second quarter when they recovered an Army fumble on one of their five first-half punts. That set up a drive from the Army 19, but Morgan State had to settle for a field goal for its only score.Armys 249 yards of offense in the first half bested its entire effort in the loss to Notre Dame. A big chunk of that came on Jordan Asberrys first carry. The sophomore took a pitch from Bradshaw at midfield, got to the right sideline and then picked up a block to score with 2:45 left in the half. The Black Knights got another touchdown two minutes later when Bradshaw found streaking Edgar Poe for a 31-yard score.Army, the nations 10th-best defense, racked up six sacks and senior Jeremy Timpf had 10 tackles in his 35th straight start.Theres been a lot of work put into this program the last few years, Timpf said. A lot of sweat and blood has been poured on the field.THE TAKEAWAYMorgan State: The freefall under first-year interim head coach Fred Farrier continued for the Bears, losers of six straight. The result wasnt nearly as close as the programs first meeting, a 28-12 Army victory in 2013.Army: Coming off lopsided losses to Air Force and Notre Dame, the matchup with Morgan State on senior day was a must-win as Army tries to qualify for a bowl. Army is holding its breath since its victory against another FCS foe, Lafayette, doesnt count toward that goal.TRIBUTE TO 28In addition to a new tattoo, Morgan State freshman Rico Kennedy wore No. 28 to honor his best friend, Armys Brandon Jackson, who died in car crash earlier this season. I miss him, I love him, and Im always going to play for him, Kennedy said.UP NEXT:Morgan State: The Bears are at Savannah State on Saturday in a game postponed by Hurricane Matthew back on Oct. 8.Army: The Black Knights are off until Dec. 10s trip to Baltimore to face Navy. Army hasnt won the rivalry game since 2001. After the game, Poe was ready to focus on the Midshipmen.Were tired of hearing, `Is this the year? Thats the most annoying thing I get asked every day. Im ready for it to just happen, he said. Cheap Cleveland Cavaliers Jerseys . 8 Iowa State on Saturday, sending the Cyclones to their third consecutive loss.

Chelsea are Premier League contenders once again.Despite slipping up in EFL Cup play this week, they will try for a fourth consecutive top-division victory Sunday against Southampton at St. Marys Stadium.The 2014-15 champions capitulated to an embarrassing mid-table finish in their title defence season. But the appointment of Antonio Conte as manager this summer appears to have been a masterstroke by the clubs hierarchy.Conte has strengthened the squad in the transfer market and rekindled the form that saw it climb to the top of the tree just 18 months ago, to the extent that his new-look version of Chelsea (6-1-2) enter the weekend a point off the league leaders.The cornerstone of that Chelsea revival has been a switch to a new three-at-the-back formation, which has added defensive stability to a side lacking an obvious first-choice centre-back pairing. But while a more solid defence had been the primary benefit, the change of shape has simultaneously freed up attacking midfielders Eden Hazard and Willian to drift in-field and offer greater support to the previously isolated lone striker Diego Costa.Last Sundays 4-0 demolition of Manchester United showed the potential of Chelseas new -- and Contes preferred -- shape. Even the disappointing EFL Cup defeat to rivals West Ham United in midweek is not a sufficient reason for Conte to abandon the formation.I think it is not a win or a defeat that can change my idea or the players confidence, he said. I think it is the right way for the players because it is a good fit for the team, this system. We have found a good balance and also we have a good offensive situation because in every game we scored a goal.For sure we must continue to work with the offensive situation, to memorise some movements, and also in defensive situations because it is not easy.It is different when you defend with the four and when you defend wwith the three, but I see a lot of positive things and we want to continue on this aspect and we are working hard to improve.dddddddddddd. We understood this way is the right way.One of the unlikely success stories at Chelsea this season has been the revival of Victor Moses. The Nigerian had either languished on the bench or been shipped out on loan for much of his time at Stamford Bridge, but was brought in for his first Chelsea start in over three years when the Blues first aired their back-three idea against Hull City on Oct. 1. And Moses has since excelled in his new wing-back role, offering the energy to get up and down in the system with enough attacking intent to avoid making the shape simply a back-five, which is so often the pitfall of the formation.Moses is fit to start against Southampton (3-4-2) while Branislav Ivanovic could also be fit enough to return to the matchday squad as an option at right centre-back. Central midfielder Cesc Fabregas remains unavailable due to injury.Though Southampton have not lost in five matches since opening 0-2-2 in the league, they boast a few injury issues of their own. Forwards Shane Long and Jay Rodriguez are out, as is full-back Matty Targett. Cedric Soares and former Chelsea defender Ryan Bertrand face late fitness tests.We will see tomorrow whether Ryan can come back into the squad for the weekend, manager Claude Puel confirmed on Friday.The Saints are looking for what would be only their second win against Chelsea in their last nine Premier League meetings at St. Marys.However Puels side will take encouragement both from a solid start to the season and from last weekends hard-fought draw with title favourites Manchester City. They also won 1-0 over Sunderland in EFL action this week.
