Game Previews:

What to Watch For:

  • Utah State: The Aggies had a record-breaking offensive performance, but how will they fare against one of the best defenses in the nation?
  • Air Force: Everyone knows the Falcons will keep their opponents from putting up a lot of points. But will their offense be able to find a rhythm and put some points on the board?
  • Boise State: The Broncos are giving up explosive pass plays in droves and that may not let up this week either against another good passing attack. They need to show some positive changes on defense, and any signs of life on offense.
  • San Diego State: Will the Aztecs be able to right the ship in time to hold their own against another tough PAC12 foe?
  • San Jose State: The Spartans got in the win column last week. Have they found some defensive success in time to take on Toledo?
  • UNLV: The Rebels have a chance to beat a P5 team in a very winnable game. This will be their first chance against a team equal to their level of talent. All eyes should be on how effectively they run the offense, especially the passing game.
  • Hawaii: After picking up their first win of the season, the Rainbow Warriors are rewarded with a date against #13 Oregon. It likely won’t go well, but it will be worth seeing if their offense can
  • New Mexico: The Lobos ride a one-game win streak into their biggest rivalry matchup. Can they ride their offensive momentum into another victory?
  • Wyoming: The Cowboys have another game against a team from Texas, but this one will be tougher. Can the defense rise to the occasion?
  • Colorado State: The Rams will have a lot of hype coming into this game thanks to their media darling opponent. Can they ignore the spotlight and establish a passing game on offense with a new QB under center?
  • Fresno State: The Bulldogs are favored in this game against another P5 team. Which team will show up, the one who upset Purdue or the one who nearly lost to Eastern Washington?
  • Nevada: Can Nevada keep it close for awhile? It will be interesting to see if they can score at all before the game gets out of hand.
