Why Air Force can cover
If the Falcons can beat Wyoming, Air Force would improve to 3-0 for the first time since 2016 when the team opened 4-0. Senior fullback Brad Roberts had a game-high 24 carries for 177 yards and tied a career-high with three touchdowns in last week's win over Colorado. Roberts also had three scores against New Mexico in 2020. Roberts scored on a 14-yard run on Air Force's opening play, and later had a 20-yard TD in the second quarter. He added a 46-yard score in the fourth. It was his 11th career 100-yard game in 19 games played.
Defensively, junior defensive back Camby Goff recorded the second interception of his career vs. Colorado. Goff has recorded an interception in two consecutive games, with the first coming in the season opener vs. Northern Iowa. Goff also added two pass breakups. For his career, Goff has 61 tackles, including 32 solo, with six pass breakups, two sacks and two forced fumbles.
Why Wyoming can cover'
Despite that, the Falcons are not a lock to cover the Air Force vs. Wyoming spread. 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. He had a solid season last year, playing in all 13 games and leading Wyoming with seven rushing touchdowns.'
