The Ram-Falcon Trophy will be on the line when the Air Force Falcons (6-3) and the Colorado State Rams (3-6) meet in Mountain West Conference rivalry game at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday, November 13 at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, Colo.

What you need to know about Air Force

The Falcons fought the good fight in their 21-14 overtime loss to the Army West Point Black Knights last Saturday. The contest was a 0-0 toss-up at halftime, but Air Force was outplayed the rest of the way. A silver lining for them was the play of QB Haaziq Daniels, who passed for 226 yards and one TD on 22 attempts, in addition to picking up 54 yards on the ground.

Air Force has won four straight games over Colorado State with all but one of those wins coming in blowout fashion. The Falcons' triple option attack presents a tough matchup for any opposing defense, but it could be absolutely lethal against a Colorado State defense that got physically dominated by Wyoming, allowing the Cowboys to rush for a whopping 385 yards and two touchdowns. 

What you need to know about Colorado State

Meanwhile, Colorado State came up short against the Wyoming Cowboys on Saturday, falling 31-17. The losing side was boosted by WR Dante Wright, who snatched two receiving TDs.

The Rams have arguably the best tight end in the country in Trey McBride, and he should digit targets on Saturday night. McBride presents a major matchup problem for the Air Force defense. For CSU to have any chance at coming away with a win, they'll need to be much better against the run. A loss would knock the Rams out of postseason contention.
