Army Loses Heisman Trophy Candidate QB Bryson Daily To Undisclosed Ailment Ahead Of Rivalry Game

---BEFORE PREG REPLACE--- [caption id="attachment_23570446" align="alignnone" width="650" caption="" credit="Getty Image" credit_src=""][/caption] The best college football player that you've likely never heard about Army Black Knights quarterback Bryson Daily. Daily, a senior, is the key cog in an Army offense that averages 40.4 points per game, good enough for eighth in the country. He has 19 rushing touchdowns, which rank second in the country behind only Boise State star Asthon Jeanty, and he averages just a hair under 130 rushing yards per game. But unfortunately for the Black Knights, they'll have to take on rival Air Force on Saturday without their star signal caller. Chris Low of ESPN reports that Daily will miss Saturday's game and could miss further time while dealing with an undisclosed injury/illness. The ailment prevented Daily from practicing this week and Army did not provide a timetable for his return. At 7-0, the Black Knights are off their best start to the season since 1996 and could well find themselves in position for a college football playoff spot. “I think there's a lot of respect for how tough and how physical he plays the game of football,” Army coach Jeff Monken, said of Daily earlier this week. “He's a tough, rugged runner, and a really good leader,” Monken said. “And our guys have a lot of respect for him because of who he is, his personality, how he leads, but also the way he plays the game.” With Daily out, junior Dewayne Coleman will make his first career start for the Black Knights. Army enters the game as a commanding favorite over the rival Falcons, who are just 1-6 on the season. Prior to the game, a group of Army cadets already got a leg up on Air Force when they snuck into Falcon Stadium and defaced the seats, causing them to read "Chair Force" rather than the tradition Air Force letting. -----------------------------AFTER PREG REPLACE--- [caption id="attachment_23570446" align="alignnone" width="650" caption="" credit="Getty Image" credit_src=""][/caption] The best college football player that you've likely never heard about Army Black Knights quarterback Bryson Daily.
