Bronx, N.Y. - The Fordham University football Rams open their 2015 season  as they travel to West Point, N.Y., to face the Army West Point Black Knights in Michie Stadium on Friday, September 4, at 7:00 p.m.
 
The game will be broadcast live on the CBS Sports Network with Ben Holden (p-b-p), Jay Feely (color) and John Schriffen (sidelines) announcing. The game will also be heard live on WFUV (90.7 FM) and on WFUVsports.org with Matt Moro (p-b-p), Kristian O'Hara (color) and Drew Casey (sidelines) handling the announcing chores.
 
#20/21 Fordham enters its season opened after going 11-3 last fall, winning the Patriot League with a perfect 6-0 mark, and advancing to the second round of the NCAA FCS Championship. Army West Point enters after going 4-8 last year.
 
A few notes on the game:

Fordham's title dream depends on little running back who could (New York Post)
 
The Fordham captains will be Kevin Anderson, George Dawson, Stephen Hodge and Garrick Mayweather, Jr.
 
The scout team players of the week were announced following practice on Wednesday: Tyler Long (offense for defense), Liam Cadman (defense for the offense) and Cory Kopicki (special teams)
 
This will be the fifth meeting between Fordham and Army West Point on the gridiron. The Black Knights have won the previous four matchups, including a 42-31 win in Michie Stadium last year on November 22.
 
The Fordham University Rams are 48-29 all-time in season openers since 1920, 9-17 since moving to the NCAA FCS in 1989. Last year's season-opening win over Saint Francis was Fordham's third straight, after the Rams had dropped three straight opening day games.
 
Fordham head coach Joe Moorhead is looking to become the first Fordham mentor to win his first four season openers since Jim Crowley won the season opener in each of his first four years at the helm from 1933-36.
 
The Fordham Rams enter the 2015 season without a quarterback on the roster who has attempted a pass in a college game. The lone player to have attempted a pass in a college game is punter Joe Pavlik, who threw a touchdown pass to Marc DeSisto last year at Army.
 
It's not just quarterback where the Rams lack experience. Fordham also does not have a player on the roster who has attempted a field goal or extra point in a college game.
