Get ready for a Mountain West battle as the Wyoming Cowboys and the Air Force Falcons will face off at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday at Falcon Stadium. Wyoming has a defense that allows only 17.64 points per game, so Air Force's offense will have their work cut out for them.
It was all tied up 7-7 at the half for Wyoming and the Colorado State Rams last week, but Wyoming stepped up in the second half. The Cowboys took their contest against Colorado State 17-7.
Meanwhile, Air Force was the big favorite in their most recent game, and for good reason. They made easy work of the New Mexico Lobos and carried off a 44-22 win. QB Donald Hammond III had a stellar game for the Falcons as he passed for 327 yards and four TDs on ten attempts. That was the first 300+ yard effort for Hammond III this season.
Their wins bumped the Cowboys to 7-4 and the Falcons to 9-2. A pair of offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Cowboys are stumbling into the matchup with the sixth fewest passing yards per game in the nation, having accrued only 129.5 on average. To make matters even worse for Wyoming, the Falcons rank second in the league when it comes to rushing yards per game, with 304.4 on average. So the Wyoming squad has its work cut out for it.
