Recap:
The duct tape that was holding Air Force together is starting to fall off. The defense continued to play well under the circumstances, while the offense regressed mightily. Depth that normally wouldn’t see the field are playing critical minutes all over the field, even starting in some spots. The result was a mediocre San Jose State team, overwhelming the Falcons.
