Game Previews:

What to Watch For:

  • Air Force: The Falcons should keep rolling right along, but do need to clear up their turnovers from last week.
  • Wyoming: The offense will need to find a way to combat the AFA defense. Also, the Cowboys have a history of playing the option well. Will that continue?
  • UNLV: Can the Rebels show they are for real but keeping up their strong play?
  • Boise State: Can the Broncos find any resemblance of an offense?
  • Colorado State: Same with the Rams, will they find their mojo with the Air Raid to be competitive this year?
  • Nevada: Will the Wolf Pack rise to the occasion against a P5 team or reveal their inexperience?
  • New Mexico: Can the Lobos rebound from a bad defeat and show they are a different team this year?
  • San Diego State: The Aztecs beat Utah a year ago. Can they find the winning formula once again?
  • Fresno State: The Bulldogs took a tough loss last week but face another tough opponent this week. Will they be up to the task?
  • Hawaii: Can they find a way to win this week? Look for them to play much better against an FCS foe. If not, it won’t be good.
