Air Force Falcons: Key To The 2022 Offense
Don’t force Haaziq Daniels to throw
Daniels is a veteran who should be able to up his passing a little bit after only connecting on 49.5% of his throws, but he can hit the downfield play when he’s got a chance. If he has to throw, though, there’s a problem.
Air Force wins when it doesn’t have to throw. The O completed just one pass in three games, and didn’t even attempt one against UNLV. All were wins. The three losses all came in the three games with the most pass attempts.
It’s this simple for Air Force – throw because you want to, not because you have to. So …
Air Force Falcons: Key To The 2022 Defense
Don’t let the other team’s passing game dictate the action
Teams are able to put the pressure on the Air Force offense a little bit by bombing away, and sometimes that’s okay. The Falcons were able to survive a monster game by Carson Strong and Nevada, but they lost a shootout against Utah State allowing 448 yards and a season-high five scores.
Army is/was Army – it doesn’t throw. However, it hit the big passes in the stunning win, and San Diego State’s occasionally-anemic offense was able to hit the short plays connecting on 85% of the passes. That was just enough to get by.
Air Force Falcons: Key Player To The 2022 Season
DT Christopher Herrera, Sr.
The Falcons are always able to find linemen who can step in and produce, but this isn’t a deep group. There’s not a ton of bulk on the team, so staying healthy is a must and holding up against the run is everything. The 6-5, 275-pound Herrera isn’t an anchor, but he’s the veteran who’ll be the one things work around.
Air Force Falcons: Key Transfer
C Thor Paglialong, Jr.
No, he’s not a transfer, but he’s being put here as the key guy who has to rise up and produce in a starting role – Air Force doesn’t have any key transfers. The veteran lineman started almost half of last year, and now it’s his job to quarterback the fantastic front with Ben Mercer done.
Air Force Key Game To The 2022 Season
Boise State, Oct. 22
The Falcons were able to pull off the win last year on the road, but this time around Boise State should be stronger and a whole lot better. Going to Utah State will matter, and the regular season finale at San Diego State is a problem, but there’s no winning the Mountain Division without taking care of home against the Broncos.
