California, Air Force bring contrasting styles to Armed Forces Bowl
A coach I know well and respect very much, San Diego State’s Rocky Long, used to tell me there’s no way to stop the triple-option on a chalkboard. We’d sit in his office when he was SDSU’s defensive coordinator under Brady Hoke and he’d draw it up for me.
His Aztecs did stop the option on the field, however, last week in the Mountain West championship game when they topped Air Force. And that put the Falcons on a collision course with Cal in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas, on Dec. 29.
