Air Force Football: Mistakes plague Falcons in upset attempt against Michigan State

Uncharacteristic mistakes and bad timing cursed the Air Force Falcons as they were defeated by the #4 Michigan State Spartans Saturday in East Lansing, MI.

When attempting to pull off an upset, a team has to play a focused, flawless game and get some turnovers and penalties from the team you are trying to upset. For the Air Force Falcons, they did the exact opposite by committing a host of penalties in the first half, giving the Michigan State Spartans a touchdown defensively off a fumble, and being turned away twice inside red zone twice in the second half to lose in East Lansing by a score of 35-21.
