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.
