I don't think AF has given up 30 this year.

Let's make that happen!

I have been watching for some hints as to Coach O approach to this game vs AFA. He have been very vague about his prediction and confidence. Last year AFA beat UNLV to the pulp at 42-7. Coach O did seems to know the scores from last year and he is very careful to release his plans against AFA.

 

[1Tripoda]

Air Force is always a disciplined team, but this year under Odom, I believe UNLV is the more disciplined team.

You should never and never think anyone in the MWC or the notion more disciplined than the AFA academy. Dont ever think or wish that it is true. Your chance hitting the Powerball chances are greater than the probability than any school outside of the academy displine issue.You will never win a discipline challenge against schools like Army, Navy, and AFA schools.
We do have more highly rated talents. Coach O is using his talents to win games.

My prediction:

We demoralize them.

That being said, they are the opponent that I respect the most since they preserve our freedoms.

I just cannot predict any sort of blowout. I know that they have been struggling, and we keep getting better. But this is a big game for both teams. They are at home, the room for error is very slim now. I see them bouncing back after the past 2 weeks.

I still feel like we win, but it is hard for me to predict a victory more that 10 points.

I don’t care the margin as long as we win. I’ve been pacing since 6 am.

Exactly. Blowout, nail biter, don't care.

Get to 9 wins..Control fate for hosting conference title game.

[OldSchoolReb]

48-45 Rebels ....How about a little win in OT for the Rebels....Can't wait...

 

[j. spilotro]

Not liking how every single sign points to UNLV.

 

[Bullmastiff 1]

LETS GO!!!!

 

[1Tripoda]

Holy shit!!!! TD

 

[Rebel_Luv]

That looked easy

 

[1Tripoda]

Less than one minute into the game

Oh shit, Maiava to White is going to be there all day

 

[unlove]

3 & out then long TD pass to White perfect start.

 

[220reb]

Ricky White off to a fast start!!!

 

[Rebel_Luv]

Perfect pass. We haven't had a quarterback to do that. Can make that throw in a while at least consistently

 

[lobbybuu]

I know the old heads are not going to like this, but this is over.

 

[unlove]

No jinx!!

 

[unlove]

Is J. Williams playing?

 

[WhiteMamba]

Tough to say if that was a bad throw or a bad route.

 

[1Tripoda]

Damn it, INT by Maiava

 

[1Tripoda]

Tough to say if that was a bad throw or a bad route.

bad throw

 

[VegasPete7]

I really like how this defense sets the edge and flies to the ball.

 

[WhiteMamba]

bad throw

Not sure I agree with that, he don’t usually have much velocity on his throws but that seemed weaker than normal like he was expecting the Wr to stop before the DB

 

[dcut03]

A better throw on that DeJesus pass and it's a touchdown

 

[WhiteMamba]

I know the old heads are not going to like this, but this is over.

🙄

 

[Rod_the_Rebel]

Hmm - feels about this game

 

[VegasPete7]

Tied 7-7 and we should be up 10. Not good.

 

[unlove]

Bad execution on a few offensive series and stupid penalty allowed a solid drive by AF. Tie game Gotta play smarter against AF.

 

[unlove]

We need a sustained drive and give our defense a test.

 

[Rebelsin54321]

Got to get the run game going

 

[j. spilotro]

It was early, but felt like UNLV was going to take total control of the entire game until that interception.
