Friday Night Chills

     Despite the expected cold temperatures tonight at Falcon Stadium, fans turning out for the Air Force Nevada football game will be able to stay warm because the scoreboard will shine hot and bright because these teams will put up a ton of points. The Wolfpack is the most balanced team in the nation, rushing and throwing for an average of 260 yards each a game, which is incredible. Their quarterback Cody Farjado is completing 70% of his passes. And oh yes, they have the nations leading rusher in Stefphon Jefferson. The Falcons bring their option offense, which nobody has stopped this year, although an injury to Cody Getz makes him doubtful for tonight. The onus tonight for both squads will be on the defense. Nevada
has not seen an option, and the Falcons have struggled on that side of the ball for most of the season. and because of more injuries Air Force may have several guys playing different positions. Can The Falcons win this game: yes, but they have a small margin of error. First, no turnovers. The Wolfpack are good enough offensively without any help. Two: can't settle for field goals in close, they need touchdowns. Three: the Falcon defense has to keep everything in front of it. Don't let Jefferson break free like Kasey Carrier did last week for New Mexico, which means better tackling. And Air Force needs perhaps as many as 3 turnovers from their defense to have a shot at winning. And it could come down to a last minute drive to win the game.
It should be an excellent game on a cold night. Tickets are available at goairforcefalcons.com. Bring your radios and tune us in on Colorado's 740 KVOR.
