Air Force O:7 D:5Air Force returns a total of 12 starters from last year squad that posted a 4-7 record. They fell short in a couple of heartbreaking contests, and couldn't avoid the injury bug all season long.
Seven are back on offense that will be led by quarterback Shaun Carney. As usual, the Falcons have a deep running back corps and the unit should come close to matching if not surpass the 30 points per game it averaged a year ago.
The Falcons have been ripped apart defensively the last two seasons. The Mountain West is a very unforgiving conference if you can't stop anybody, so look for the Falcons to make a conscious effort in cutting down on the 31 points per game it's allowed the last two seasons.
They're coaching and experience could see them flirt with a bowl invite at the end of the season.
