The Impossible Dream, Winning Again at West Point: Remembering the 1984 Army Football Season

The book remembers the historic 1984 Army football season, where head coach Jim Young changed to the wishbone offense and motivated his players that they could win every game. This team had the first winning season in six years; beat Air Force and Navy; went to Army’s first bowl game and beat Michigan State; and had the greatest turn around of any team in NCAA history at that time. The seniors on the team provided great leadership throughout the season; all being recognized by West Point as team captains receiving the General Creighton W. Abrams Memorial Award; and were the first team invited to the White House to receive the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy from President Ronald Reagan.
