Scary Game

  Never thought I would say Air Force facing New Mexico in Football would be scary but that's what Saturdays game looks like to me, for several reasons.  Air Force has a chance to climb above 500 and go on a winning streak. and they need this game to draw closer to bowl eligibility. The Lobos, behind 1st year head coach Bob Davie, have posted a surprising 4-3 record. They are running the option, mostly out of a pistol formation, and giving teams nightmares in the process. Ask Boise State. The Broncos barely held on to beat New Mexico 32-29. Bob Davie told me this week he was determined, if he got back into coaching, to run some sort of option  based offense. He said guys just hate getting ready for it, and its hard to stop. Davie recalled his days working at Notre Dame trying to slow down Air Force. New Mexico compliments the option by running off a lot of time between plays, shortening the game. The Lobos defense has given up a lot of points this year and will again Saturday. What scares me is the Falcons are so banged up with injuries. Running back Cody Getz is questionable, and if he plays, will not be 100%. Broam Hart suffered a painful, painful hand injury and is doubtful. Air Force also loses Anthony Lacoste in the secondary to an injury, and he was a great threat on kickoff returns, and they may not have defensive lineman Joe Champaigne back. The Falcons have given up plenty of points of their own and that too will not change this weekend. I like the good guys in a tight tight game 34-27.
