Why Air Force can cover
The Falcons have three players that have rushed over 100 yards on the season, led by senior running back Brad Roberts. Roberts has a team-high 288 yards rushing, including a 24-carry, 174-yard performance in the 41-10 win over Colorado on Saturday. Roberts averaged 7.3 yards per carry en route to three touchdown runs. In a Week 1 win over Northern Iowa, he carried just eight times for 114 yards (14.3 average) and one TD.
Also powering the ground attack is junior running back John Lee Eldridge III. Against Colorado, he carried eight times for 88 yards and one score. For the year, he has carried 16 times for 173 yards (10.8 average) and one touchdown. In all, 13 players have rushed for 15 yards or more this season for the Falcons with six of those finding the end zone.
Why Wyoming can cover'

That's because the Cowboys feature more of a balanced attack than the Falcons do, led by junior quarterback Andrew Peasley. After a poor opening-week performance at Illinois, where he completed just 5 of 20 passes for 30 yards, Peasley has fared much better, completing over 63%'of his passes in each of the past two weeks. In a double-overtime win over Tulsa in Week 2, he completed 20 of 30 passes for 256 yards and two touchdowns. In last week's 33-10 win over Northern Colorado, Peasley completed 19 of 30 passes for 144 yards.
Junior running back Titus Swen powers the Cowboys' rushing attack. Against Northern Colorado, he carried 15 times for 76 yards (5.1 average) and three touchdowns. In three seasons at Wyoming, he has carried 242 times for 1,336 yards (5.5 average) and 11 touchdowns.
