Comments

Air Force will be missing backup QB Isaiah Sanders so they’ll need to protect Donald Hammond III well. Fresno State is a team that is hard to get a feel for how good or bad they are. They lose to Minnesota by 3 but then they only beat winless New Mexico State 30-17. I think Air Force will be angry about letting that Navy game slip out of their hands. The Falcons should win this one but it should be a fairly close game. Turnovers and dumb penalties will likely decide this one.
