The Air Force Falcons begin their 2018 football campaign at home on September 1st when they host the Seawolves of Stony Brook. Opening up the season with a Football Championship Series opponent has become the norm for the Falcons in recent years and they have had great success in these match-ups. However, this year’s opponent could be a real test for the Falcons early.
Just who are these Stony Brook Seawolves? Last year’s team finished 10-3 under Head Coach Chuck Priore and lost in the FCS quarterfinals to James Madison. This year, the team is ranked 22nd in the preseason American Football Coaches Association poll and return eight starters on an offense that averaged just under 30 points per game and displayed a balanced attack with 161.
