Everyone knows Air Force is a run-oriented team, but stopping the Falcons' offense is not that simple.
The complication comes from AFA's variety of running plays, mixed with occasional passes, as Utah State coach Matt Wells outlined this week. The Falcons' scheme includes “mid-line, belly, belly-G, trap, trap option, long toss, all of the play actions, post-wheels, dig-post combinations, getting unbalanced tackles over, tight end ineligible down the back side, twins over, you name it,” Wells said. “They’re doing all of it out of every formation.”
Good thing the Aggies had two extra days to prepare for a division rival that has given them more trouble than any other — including Boise State — the past three seasons.
