  • San Diego State: Do they have an offense and can their defense lead them to against a struggling them?
  • Boise State: Do they have an offense and can their defense lead them to against a struggling them? (yes, the copy & paste was intentional)
  • New Mexico: Will the defense be able to neutralize a high-powered offense and can they find ways to score?
  • UNLV: Will the offense be able to figure out a tricky defense and continue to put up points in the next step of their strong season?
  • Air Force: Can the Falcons keep the momentum going against one of their chief rivals?
  • Fresno State: How will they look coming off a bye week and playing without their star quarterback?
  • San Jose State: Can their good offense beat a good defense?
  • Wyoming: Can their good defense beat a good offense?
