The 1930 Army Cadets football team represented the United States Military Academy in the 1930 college football season. In their first season under head coach Ralph Sasse, the Cadets compiled a 9–1–1 record, shut out seven of their eleven opponents, and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 268 to 22, an average of 24.4 points scored and 2.0 points allowed per game. [1] In the annual Army–Navy Game, the Cadets defeated the Midshipmen 6–0.
