Air Force vs Nevada Game Preview
Why Air Force Will Win
Can Nevada stop the run?
Sort of.
The defensive front has been fantastic all year long at getting into the backfield, and it hasn’t had to deal with a whole slew of running teams with everyone throwing to keep up, but it couldn’t do enough against San Diego State’s ground game last week, and lost.

But Nevada and Strong will be too much as the offense takes over late with two key scoring drives that force Air Force out of its comfort zone.
