Challenges for Air Force

This is the first of three service academy games that will determine the winner of the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy for 2019. You can pretty much throw everything out the window in predicting these service academy games. The reason? All three schools run similar offenses and are very familiar with one another. Air Force has shown so far that they very well could be the best team of the three. However, they have to prove it on the field of play.

Saturday’s game kicks off at 3:00 ET. Watch on the CBS Sports Network.
