The Black Knights would be competitive in two games, losing by six to East Carolina (32–38) after a comeback attempt fell just short then lost by four the following week to Cincinnati (29–33), giving up what would be the game-winning touchdown midway through the 4th quarter.
Todd Berry began the year in his fourth season as the team's head coach. Berry coached the first six games before being fired following a 10–34 loss to Louisville, finishing his career at Army with an overall record of 5–35. Berry's winning percentage of 5 35 is the lowest of any Army head coach who coached for more than six games. Defensive line coach John Mumford was named interim head coach for the final seven games. Mumford would be retained by the Black Knights' next head coach, Bobby Ross, as well as his predecessor, Stan Brock, serving as the team's defensive coordinator from 2004 to 2008.
2003 saw Army quarterback Zac Dahman break the FBS record for the most losses in a season, with 13, breaking the previous record of 12 held by Dan Robinson of the 1998 Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.
