The dominant Army team of the 1940’s called their dynamic duo of running backs Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside. Air Force fans wouldn’t go for terms as mundane as that and have begun referring to FB Brad Roberts and TB John Lee Eldridge as Thunder and Lightning. On Saturday, UNLV got a heaping dose of both as Roberts hit the interior 29 times for 144 yards and 4 TDs and Eldridge swept around the edges 8 times for 116 yards and one 60 yard touchdown, leading the Falcons to a 42-7 victory.
Defense also played a large part in the victory.
