Ball control, time of possession and lack of penalties. If one had to describe three things that define the Air Force Falcons football program those three thoughts would be at the front of the line. Saturday, the Falcons did not live up to any of those three keys in winning football as they found themselves unable to develop a consistent running game as they fell to 1-3 on the year and 0-2 in Mountain West play with a 28-25 loss to the Nevada Wolf Pack.
Nevada’s ability to take away the middle of the field made it impossible for the Falcons to establish the fullback dive, which is the hallmark of a good triple option attack.
