Going to a Bowl-Bowl

  Air Force and Rice in the Armed Forces Bowl. Translated in Football terms-A lot of points vs a lot of points. That's what I expect Saturday in Fort Worth. Both teams can score and both squads had trouble stopping teams this year. I don't expect anything less when they meet at Amon G Carter Stadium. Rice has not seen the option and even though they have time to get ready for it I truly believe they will have a tough time wrapping their arms around it. But it will not be a picnic for the Falcon Defense. Rice Quarterback Taylor Mchargue is a stud who runs the ball a lot and is a pretty good passer. He has a lot of good wide receivers and a bruising running game to fall back on led by Charles Ross. A big key-Rice is excellent when it comes to time of possession,  and one way to slow the Air Force option is not let it on the field. Troy Calhoun told me last week a key for the Falcons will be if they can get Center Austin Hayes back from injury. If he can go, they will slide Jordan Eason from center back to his normal left guard spot. If that happens, the Falcons may have a HUGE day running the football. Cody Getz is close to 100% on that bum ankle and he could make life tough on the Owls.
  I like the Falcons, in a wild one..How bout 40-37 good guys?

Happy Holidays.
