Get off the Field........that's what the Air Force Defense has to do. The Falcons have not been able as of late to get teams to punt. In the last 2 games (Navy and Notre Dame) those teams have punted just 3 times total. On 3rd downs those same teams are 22-36 converting to 1st downs. Not Good at all. I know Air Force is banged up, and turnovers by the offense have created short fields for the Falcons to defend, but they gotta get stops on 3rd down. Otherwise Thursday night could be another long night for the defense..
The offense has it problems as well, namely turnovers. The Falcons have turned it over 10 times in 5 games. And how many of those turnovers have come at the end of big plays by Air Force? Alot. The Falcons have a plus minus reading of -4, which is a number created when you take the number of turnovers your offense has and compare it to the number of turnovers your defense has created. In 2009 it was +22. Hold onto the football.
If Air Force can clean up those two things they have a good shot at beating San Diego State Thursday night. Our coverge begins at 4 and the kickoff is set for 6. Bring your radios out to the game
