San Diego State, coming off game in which it had trouble tackling, faces Falcons triple-option offense that again leads nation in rushing
The Air Force football team prides itself on precision and discipline, two traits San Diego State could use heaping helpings of coming into Saturday’s Mountain West game between the teams.
The Falcons are atop the rushing ranks once again. They average 340.5 yards a game, a number boosted last week with 400 yards against San Jose State.

Speaking of fundamentals, the tackling problems that plagued SDSU against Boise State must be eliminated against Air Force for any chance of success.The Falcons took it to extremes in the third quarter of last week’s game against San Jose State, controlling the ball for 14 minutes, 10 seconds of the 15-minute period.The Spartans didn’t score again — in part because they barely saw the ball again — while Air Force scored four second-half touchdowns in its 45-20 win.
