Air Force travels to the University of New Mexico to take on both a team and a community that has been reeling sine the tragic death of Nahje Flowers, the defensive tackle who was reported dead at just 21 years old. The game was originally scheduled to take place that weekend of the 9th, but in light of the loss both schools were given an impromptu bye week which now brings us to this Saturday at 12pm.
Prior to the bye two weeks ago New Mexico had been struggling on the season and to the surprise of no one have continued to struggle now with the added adversity of losing a teammate, especially when that teammate had been an anchor on the defensive line for the past three seasons like Flowers had been.
