Monken needs three wins to move past Jim Young’s total of 51 and into second place behind all-time leader Earl “Red” Blaik. The Hall of Famer’s 121 victories in 18 seasons seem untouchable. Army has six game-tested quarterbacks returning, including seniors Christian Anderson and Jabari Laws and junior Tyhier Tyler.
