Boise State vs Air Force Game Preview

Why Boise State Will Win

Oh, you think you have a running game, Air Force?

Boise State was doing nothing, the team crashed against UTEP and couldn’t do anything in the first half against San Diego State, and then …

Boom.

The ground game kicked in on the way to 316 rushing yards and five scores in the win. It was all followed up with 316 more yards in the win over Fresno State.

Air Force might be playing well overall, but it lost to Utah State after allowing close to 200 rushing yards, and lost to Wyoming after allowing 180. Those are the two losses.

The five wins came when the D allowed fewer than 180 yards on the ground.

Why Air Force Will Win

Oh, really, you think you have a running game, Boise State?

Air Force not only leads the nation with 360 rushing yards per game, it averages almost 90 yards more per game than the No. 3 rushing team – Ole Miss. Army is the only other team to be over 300 and it averages 317.

Even when it’s not working it’s still cranking out yards in chunks and dominating the action. Boise State might be among the best teams in the country at coming up with third down stops, but and it might lead the Mountain West against the run, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Yeah, Boise State leads the Mountain West against the run and it amazing at coming up with third down stops.

Here’s the problem with that. The Broncos allowed more than 100 rushing yards twice, and they lost. They’re going to allow over 100 yards to Air Force, but the difference now is the rise of the offense under offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter.

The Bronco offense figured it out to go along with the amazing defense.

Don’t blink – with these two ground games keeping things moving this should last about 90 minutes.

Why Boise State Will Win

The Broncos were fantastic in the 42-13 win over Utah State. Everything clicked from the start on both sides of the ball, getting up 28-0 at halftime and cruising from there.

Hank Bacnhmeier needed a moment to warm up, and then he threw for 268 yards and three scores. The running game burst out yards in chunks, and most most importantly for this game, the run defense was a rock. Utah State came up with one decent run, and that was about it.

The Aggies ran for just 111 yards and fewer than three yards per carry, and now the Bronco run defense gets to fully focus on an Air Force offense that ran for 206 yards against San Jose State, and it wasn’t enough.

The Spartans shut down the Falcons until it was way too late. Boise State’s run defense should work even better.

CFN Experts Picks: College

Why Air Force Will Win

The San Jose State game was … odd.

No, Air Force didn’t control the action like it should’ve, but the defense did a great job overall, the run defense didn’t let the Spartans go anywhere, and the secondary only gave up one big play.

Boise State was as close to flawless as possible against Utah State, but Air Force and the offense have the ability to turn it on and roll up the yards in chunks. It’s there – it ran for 369 yards in a dominant performance against Navy – but it has to be just a bit sharper.

There were plays against San Jose State that came close to breaking free, and the team was good on third downs. It starts with hammering away with FB Timothy Jackson. Get him going, and everything else will start to work.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Air Force will be far better than it was against San Jose State, but the Boise State defensive front will hold firm for most of the game.

Most of it.

The Falcons will come up with enough scoring drives to keep this a fight, but Bachmeier will be too accurate and too consistent with no Air Force pass rush to worry about.
