Air Force flies into Albuquerque on a roll

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Stat of the week: the Air Force Falcons are averaging more rushing yards on offense this season than the average of total yards — running and passing — their defense has given up.

That’s the challenge the New Mexico Lobos will face on Saturday in their season finale against the Falcons at University Stadium.

“Without a doubt, we’re playing the hottest team in this (Mountain West) conference this week,” UNM coach Bob Davie said after Monday’s practice.

How hot is Air Force?

The Falcons (8-3 overall, 6-1 in Mountain West Conference play) have won five games in a row.
