Berry and offensive coordinator John Bond introduced a new offensive scheme that moved away from Army's traditional triple option offense. While the new offense still included elements of an option offense, the new scheme was more focused on passing.^[3] The Black Knights struggled under this new offense and used three different quarterbacks throughout the season who had a combined TD–INT ratio of 8 to 18.^[4] One bright spot of the season was senior running back Michael Wallace, who finished the season with 1,157 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns.^[5]

The defensive scheme was also overhauled, with defensive coordinator Dennis Therrell moving away from the 4–3 defense (four down linemen and three linebackers) used by Denny Doornbos to an aggressive 4–4 defense (four down linemen and four linebackers) intended to disrupt the opposing offense.^[6]
