Comments

This one may be close. Air Force has a little better defense and Hawaii is a little better on offense. Air Force’s option should eat up more clock and make the Hawaii offense a little less effective or potent. This one could go either way but we are going with the Falcons and the option.

AcademyWars.com Prediction

Air Force 35, Hawaii 34

Saturday’s game kicks off at 9:00 PM MT. Watch on the CBS Sports Network.
