9 turnovers in the last two weeks. No big plays. The Air Force offense is in a big time rut, and time is running out to steer out of it. Saturdays 28-9 loss to San Diego State was another reminder the Falcon offense is suffering. Here are some chilling stats from Saturday:
4 Turnovers
1 missed extra point
1 missed field goal
2 missed 4th down conversions (which are just about the same as a turnover)
Air Force looked good early, scoring on its first drive. But then the mistakes began, and continued, and San Diego State was very gracious in accepting them.
The Falcon defense wasn't bad, and got two turnovers of their own. But this team is hurting right now in a number of different areas. As I said Saturday the Falcons have seen the enemy, and its them.
There are two games left. The first, this Friday night in the last home game (senior Night) vs Hawaii. The Warriors have had a long year under first year head coach Norm Chow. This may be the best chance for a Falcon win and a 6th victory which means bowl eligibility. The last game of the season is at Fresno State and won't be easy. So the Falcons have to win Friday if they hope to go to a 6th consecutive bowl. But before anything else happens, they have to look hard at the offense and all the self destructive errors its made. If the Falcons aren't careful, they could be home this December.
