The team was led by second-year head coach Stan Brock, who, amidst pressure from critics, had changed from a pro-style offense to a triple option-like offensive scheme after the previous season. Some pundits dubbed it the "Brock Bone" or "quadruple" option, due to an added passing element.Getting offensive https://web.archive.org/web/20090822201148/http://forums.recordonline.com/th-army?entry=306 August 22, 2009 , Times Herald-Record, September 19, 2008.

The 2008 Army–Navy Game was the first shut-out of Army by Navy since 1978.
