American college football season
The 1967 Army Cadets football team represented the United States Military Academy in the 1967 NCAA University Division football season . In their second year under head coach Tom Cahill , the Cadets compiled an 8–2 record and outscored their opponents 183 to 94.
In the annual Army–Navy Game in December, the Cadets lost 19–14 to the Midshipmen . Army's other loss was to underdog Duke , by three points in early October; the Blue Devils also defeated Navy, by nineteen in November.
After their final home game, a 22–0 shutout of Utah on Veterans Day , the Cadets were 7–1 and prime candidates for the academy's first-ever bowl invitation. In the midst of the Vietnam War , Pentagon officials decided against it, citing the "heavy demands on the players' time" as well as an emphasis on football being "not consistent with the academy's basic mission: to produce career Army officers."
No Army players received first-team honors on the All-America team.
