San Jose State vs. Air Force: Keys to a Spartans victory

The Spartans bring a 3-7 record to the Week 12 matchup against the 7-3 Air Force Falcons.

Here are some keys to a possible Spartans victory.

SJSU needs to limit the Air Force's ground game.

The Falcons are averaging 310 rushing yards per game in a triple option offense that makes defenses pay for committing to the wrong potential ball carrier. The Spartans' defense struggled against the run in their 45-31 loss at Boise State two weeks ago, allowing the Broncos to rush for 292 yards.

SJSU offense needs to take advantage of scoring opportunities.
