-- Air Force is coming off a disappointing loss to Navy (with Commander-in-Chief Trophy implications) and has only a couple of days to get ready for this one. But does that disadvantage Colorado State, which has to prepare for Air Force's option attack? Not likely. CSU coach Sonny Lubick is an old hand at scoping out Fisher DeBerry's scheme, and his Rams have won four of the last five meetings straight-up. Furthermore, the Thursday night dynamic greatly favors the Rams - Colorado State is 6-0 ATS on Thursday nights, while Air Force is only 1-8 SU in Thursday games (with five of those losses to the Rams). Like Air Force, Colorado State is rather one-dimensional, but QB Caleb Hamie is 72% accurate - that's second in the nation. Air Force likely to have harder time with that. And Rams defending the run in credible fashion (3.5 ypc, 75 ypg), ranking 13th in the USA.
JAY'S PLAY: COLORADO STATE
