Interesting start time for this game as the people in Boulder might have to begin partying early since this rips in 11 a.m. local time. Always hard to prepare for Air Force with that old-school option offense they run. Though the Air Force Academy is in the state of Colorado, this is the first time that the Falcons trip Boulder because Oct. 13, 1973. Things got terrible that afternoon as some Air Force staff were pelted with eggs while adopting chaos by CU students who opposed the violence from the Vietnam War. The next year colorado traveled to Air Force and the colleges haven’t played since.
Air Force has played only 1 match and it was Aug. 31 when it ran over FCS school Colgate 48-7 because AFA increased to 24-0 all time from FCS schools. In typical style, when they did not have to the Falcons did not even try to throw. And in fact they attempted while rushing for 423 yards on 65 carries just 1 pass. By comparison, Colgate had 75 yards. It was the very first time in program history the Falcons attempted only one pass, and it is the fewest passes tried since maybe not throwing it once. The start was got by junior quarterback Donald Hammond III yet he was not even. He did rush for three dents.
Colorado looks upset visiting with Nebraska in overtime and vastly improved beneath coach Mel Tucker. The colleges combined for the Buffs for 38 fourth-quarter points. The first and only lead of CU was overtime. Steven Montez ended with 291 of those yards and the scores as Colorado outscored the Huskers 31-14 after intermission, coming after halftime, with 375 yards and 2 touchdowns. K.D. Nixon had six catches for 148 yards — like a 96-yard touchdown catch, the longest play from scrimmage at CU history. The Buffs hadn’t beaten a ranked team.
Tucker is a fantastic defensive coach and his defense held Nebraska to just 3.9 yards per carry. Don’t see one-dimensional Air Force performing much on offense. Game simulations possess Colorado.

Saturday, 3 PM ET, Kelly-Shorts Stadium, Mount Pleasant, Mich..
It’s the Mid-American Conference opener for both. Akron might be among the worst clubs in the nation with a loss at Illinois and a 31-20 home defeat to UAB. The Zips have an extremely youthful and also the Illini and Blazers both took advantage.
At the loss to UAB QB Kato Nelson had a career day in finishing 25 of 44. Receiver Dustin Burkhart also had a career game with eight catches for 217 yards. The last time that an Akron receiver had over 200 yards was by Jabari Arthur, who had 223 yards against Western Michigan.
On the other hand, the most memorable item from the UAB game was Akron breaking out that the”turnover pencil” after forcing a turnover. That is spectacular.
The major issue here is whether Central Michigan quarterback Quinten Dormady playswith. The move in Tennessee and Houston had a great game in throwing in a 38-21 win over Albany for 285 yards and 3 touchdowns. However, he abandoned last week 61-0 pasting at the hands of No. 17 Wisconsin with an injury. Central Michigan managed three first downs and just 58 yards while Wisconsin had 599 yards of total offense. The Chips, you may not know, ‘ are now coached for Florida coach Jim McElwain. CMU had gone 208 consecutive games.
Dormady, McElwain said,”substituted his knee” on a sack and threw an interception on the Chippewas’ following series. If Dormady can not go here, it will be David Moore, a junior transfer from Garden City (Kan.) Community College.
Game simulations possess the Chips winning 17-14. This is supposed to be a moneyline spread that is bigger but I am sure the fear is that Dormady wont play. It won’t matter.
