Army Field Marshal Bryson Diary He will return for Army against North Texas on Saturday and will start for the No. 25 Cadets, sources told ESPN.

Daily, the engine of Army’s potent offense, missed the team’s victory over Air Force last week with an undisclosed injury. Sources told ESPN he returned to practice this week for a walk-through Thursday and practiced fully for the first time Friday before Army left for North Texas.

Army is 8-0 and is off to its best start since 1996. Army checked in as the third-highest ranked team outside of a power conference in the College Football Playoff standings, as it sits behind No. 12 Boise State (7-1) and No. 21 Washington State (7-1). Army is in first place in the American Athletic Conference, as they are 6-0 in conference play and a 5-0 lead over Tulane.

According to sources, Daily is “looking like himself” since returning to practice. But there is some concern, sources say, about his ability to play a full game after a two-week stretch in which he only participated in one practice and one walkthrough.

The possibility of the backup quarterback looms Daniel Colemanwho started his first career game against Air Force, will end up getting snaps. As of the end of this week, he has played every snap with Army’s first-team offense over the past two weeks.

Daily’s return is crucial for Army as he leads the nation in both rushing touchdowns for a quarterback (19) and rushing yards per game for a quarterback (129.8). Boise State Only Ashton Jeanty has more rushing touchdowns (20).

Before the injury, he had played two of the best games of his career, as he scored five rushing touchdowns and ran for 171 yards against East Carolina and had four rushing touchdowns and 136 yards against UAB.

Army leads the nation with an average of 340.1 rushing yards per game.
