Baylor vs Air Force Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl, What’s Going To Happen
This should be terrific.
Both teams are going to go on long, clock-killing marches in what should be one of the faster bowl games of the season.
Baylor will run well, but Air Force will do it just a little bit better.
The Falcons were banged up when it lost at Wyoming and Utah State, and it lost at home to a Boise State team that was able to hold up with its great run defense.
For all the good things Baylor does, it’s awful on third downs. It’ll breakdown on a big third quarter drive by Air Force as it takes over the game just enough to have a lead late.
The Bears are going to be right there, but they won’t be able to get the ball back in the final few minutes.
