What's it like ferrygating with Army football's newest fans
Army's West Point game-day ferry carries fans and visitors from Manhattan to home Saturdays at the military academy, with as many as 505 passengers arriving for the experience. The featured cruise cost $104.52, and tickets for that October 17 trip sold out weeks in advance. Riders included Army supporters, veterans, families, tourists and people with little prior interest in college football.
The ferry's appeal extends beyond the game to Hudson River scenery, West Point history, military pageantry and the chance to visit an active military base. Army sells an estimated 9,210 tickets in New York City's five boroughs each fall, about 7% of its ticket sales, while Seastreak estimates that 400 to 500 home-game ticket holders travel by ferry each Saturday. The report notes that Army later defeated Florida Atlantic with 479 rushing yards.

LSU-Texas best bets: Will Saturday in Baton Rouge be a defensive struggle?
No. 7 Texas visits No. 14 LSU on Saturday night, with LSU favored by four points and the total set at 46.5. Texas is 7-2 with four wins over AP Top 25 opponents, while LSU is 6-3 and has lost five straight games against ranked teams. The matchup preview identifies Texas quarterback Arch Manning and LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt as central to how the game could unfold.
Manning's completion rate drops from 70% with a clean pocket to 53% under pressure, and he has been sacked 27 times, including nine times in two true road games. LSU has moved the ball but scored only 13 points against Alabama, while Texas has allowed touchdowns on 39% of opponents' red-zone trips. The analyst predicts the total will stay under 46.5 but says there is no strong opinion on the side.
