Ladies and gentlemen, everything is ready at Amon G. Carter Stadium for kick-off. The kickoff will be in a minute, and let's hope this edition of the Armed Forces Bowl is a great college football game.

The Armed Forces Bowl, formerly the Fort Worth Bowl from 2003 to 2005, is an annual postseason college football game. First played in 2003, the game typically takes place at the 45,000-seat Amon G. Carter Stadium on the Texas Christian University campus in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Bowl was first played in December 2003, with two teams ranked, No. 18 Boise State and No. 19 TCU. It was the only edition that featured a classified team until the No. 22 Army played in December 2018.

The 2010 and 2011 editions were played at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in University Park, Texas, when Amon G. Carter Stadium was under reconstruction. The game features teams from a variety of college football conferences. Additionally, the independent United States Military (Army) Academy is also eligible to participate. Since 2014, the game has been sponsored by Lockheed Martin and is officially known as the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl. Previous sponsors were Bell Helicopter (2006–2013) and PlainsCapital Bank (2003–2004).

The Missouri players are also on the field at Amon G. Carter Stadium warming up prior to the Armed Forces Bowl.

Missouri's defense falls short of the quality of its offense, ranking in the top 100 nationwide in almost every relevant stat. They allow 35 points per game at 450+ yards per game and do much better against passing game than against running, where they allow 228 yards per game and rank 127th in the league in running defense.

Army has a solid defense that ranks 35th overall in scoring defense and is in the top twenty in yards per game and running defense. However, the Black Knights are vulnerable in the passing game on defense, allowing 8.2 yards per pass attempt and overall allowing 208 yards per game, for 38th place.

The triple-option offense is the force multiplier that allows the Black Knights to compete against stronger teams on the field of play. But this Army team doesn't throw the ball just as a last resort. Black Knights QB Christian Anderson has thrown for 653 passing yards and thrown five touchdowns with no interceptions.

Two players lead the Tigers offense, QB Connor Bazelak, who has 2,540 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, and running back Tyler Badie, who has rushed for 1,612 yards on the season while averaging 134.3 yards per game and scoring. 14 touchdowns.

Army is a team that runs first, yet their passing attack is first in the league in yards per pass attempt with eleven yards per pass. The Black Knights have the second-leading running game and are averaging 286 yards per game. Generally, teams that run the ball are not prolific in the scoring department, but Army is an exception, scoring 33 points per game and ranks 25th in that category.

Missouri's offense isn't particularly impressive in any statistical category, however, they do average 5.1 yards per run attempt, ranking 24th in that category. The offense averages 30 points per game, gains a little over 400 yards and is fairly balanced between running and passing.

The Army Black Knights had an excellent season and entered the annual Army-Navy game as big favorites, but were defeated by the Midshipmen. So now Army's job will be to put that painful game behind him and focus on the next game against the Missouri Tigers in the Armed Forces Bowl.

The Missouri Tigers were 3-3 in their first six games with victories over Central Michigan, Southeast Missouri State and North Texas. They did the same in their last six games with 34-17 losses to Texas A&M, Georgia and Arkansas and wins over Vanderbilt, South Carolina and, surprisingly, the Florida Gators. A game in which the Gators did not show up and their head coach was subsequently fired. But that is another story.

The Missouri Tigers face the Army Black Knights tonight in the Armed Forces Bowl, which will be played at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas.

Missouri was 6-6 on the year and ended on a sour note after a painful loss to Arkansas. While Army were 8-4 this year and come into this game after losing to Navy, their staunch rival.

Amon G. Carter Stadium is an outdoor soccer stadium on the campus of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. It is the home stadium of the TCU Horned Frogs football team, and after several remodels and expansions, it currently seats 47,000 people.

It is named after Amon G. Carter, a prominent Fort Worth businessman, newspaper publisher, and city promoter. It has several popular nicknames, among which are The Carter and Hell's Half Acre, this in reference to the past of the Wild West of Fort Worth, which was located near the stadium, as well as the difficulty that rival teams have to win in the stadium.
