BOULDER — When it comes to Saturday's Colorado-Air Force game at Falcon Stadium (1:30 p.m., CBS), plenty of attention has been focused on the Buffaloes' task of stopping the AFA run game — and rightfully so.
The Buffs had difficulty stopping TCU's run game in last weekend's 38-13 loss, with the Horned Frogs racking up 275 yards on the ground, including 261 in the decisive second half.
No doubt, the option-oriented Falcons pose an even bigger challenge. AFA led the nation in rushing the last two seasons and started off 2022 with a bang last weekend, running for 582 yards (691 total offense) in a 48-17 win over Northern Iowa.
