The Florida Atlantic Owls (2-1) are looking to extend their winning streak to three as they get their second road test of the year. They will head up to Colorado to face the Air Force Falcons, who run a unique triple-option attack on offense.
"It's a much different offense," defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said while comparing Air Force's triple-option offense to Georgia Southern's spread-option offense, which FAU beat 38-6 two weeks ago. "The options have similarities but the way they go about it is much different. These guys always have a fullback in a three-spot position. Georgia Southern created a lot of different plays, it's kind of its own read-option type of deal, this is a more veer downhill option game with the fullback being a big part of what they do, so you have to be very conscious of the fullback and play the ball inside out.
