No Awini

A bad Air Force season just got worse when it was announced Quarterback Jaleel Awini is not a cadet in good standing and thus, cannot represent the Academy. It means he can't play football because of an unknown violation of Academy Standards. Its the worst news Troy Calhoun could have received for his young football team. In 3 games we have seen flashes of the potential Awini has. He can throw. He's strong, and durable. But the term student-athlete means school comes first, and for Awini it looks like his sophomore season is done. So in steps Quarterback #3 Karson Roberts. I watched him practice and focused on him. I think people will be surprised how he does. He is the only quarterback on the roster with a touchdown pass-2 actually, both to Jalen Robinette. He looks very comfortable to me under center. He has played a little, and now he gets the bright lights as the new Air Force Starter. All he needs to do is manage the game for the Falcon offense. Don't try to be the hero. And hopefully he gets some help from his defense. They have simplified things in practice this week. Less thinking and scheming, and more playing closer to the line of scrimmage. Thursday Night join us for the Troy Calhoun show at Back East Bar and Grill at 630 on KVOR, and of course we'll have Saturdays game live from Reno at 6 on Colorado's 740 KVOR.
