With only a few weeks practice under their belts, the San Jose State Spartans came into Saturday night’s game with an excellent game plan and ready to play. After giving up 396 yards rushing to the Falcons last year, and after watching the Falcons come up with 391 yards rushing against Navy, the Spartans knew the game depended on them stopping the run, and stacked the box knowing that Air Force’s passing attack is less formidable than it was last year, and knowing that the Falcons were missing starting guards Nolan Laufenberg and Kyle Krepsz. The Falcons did manage to get 206 yards on the ground, but were often stymied on early downs and didn’t manage many explosive plays.
Air Force Falls to Spartans, 17-6
