Challenges for Air Force

This game was originally supposed to be played earlier in the season but the tragic death of a New Mexico player made it necessary to postpone the game until this weekend. This is a game that the Falcons should dominate. New Mexico has struggled mightily throughout the season. The Falcons should approach this game as a business trip. Go down there and take care of business while avoiding injuries. Come home with a W and be one win from 10 victories.

Saturday’s game kicks off at Noon MT. Watch on the ESPN3 Network.
