Falcon Stadium on the campus of the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

On the television side, the game will be broadcast nationally on Fox Sports 1. On the radio, the game will be broadcast on the Lobo Radio Network / Lobo Sports App / 770 AM and 96. 3 FM KKOB in Albuquerque.

The Air Force has a lead from 23 to 14 in the series and has won the last two competitions between the two schools. Last season’s match was a 44-22 victory for the Air Force.

The New Mexico Lobos will be looking to end their 12-game winning streak tonight when they visit the Air Force Falcons in a televised match on Fox Sports 1 and Radio Lobo Network.. Lobos would enter the game with a 0-3 score, while the Falcons were 1-2.

The game will be the Air Force’s first since October 31 due to COVID-19 issues within the USAFA. The last time they beat Boise State in the Final 49-30.

New Mexico Lobos lost to Nevada last week, 27-20, in a match in which Lobo coach Danny Gonzalez felt the team had a chance to win but let it slip in the fourth quarter..

The Falcons may be a bit rusty at first due to the long pause between competitions, but don’t expect them to struggle in every match..

The Air Force is known for its Triple Choice Attack, usually with 4 different players having a shot to carry the ball in a particular game. Against Boise State it was really effective, leading 415 yards on the ground against the Broncos.

Falcons have countless players who can pose threats on Earth. Brandon Lewis had 10 mounts for 112 yards and landings against Boise State. If the quarterback Haaziq Daniels is to go run 96 yards and land against the Navy. He is recovering from a shoulder injury. If he couldn’t go, Warren Bryan would start and had a hit against the Boise State, darting 87 yards in 19 campaigns.

Typically for the past several weeks, the pass defense has been called the Lobo factor x. They might not need it much this week to counter an air force attack. And given Lobos’ ability this season to stem the rampage, there’s a change in the x factor for this week.

This week the x factor will be the one starting in the middle. Tevaka Tuioti is listed as of this writing as a game time decision. He missed last week due to a concussion and is still in protocol. He was able to move football really well against Hawaii before he was sent off.

Tri-Hall was going strong both in his time against Hawaii and in his debut last week against Nevada. He turned the ball once in both matches which ended up turning in decisive turns.

No matter who starts with Lobos, it will be crucial tonight not to turn the ball due to the Falcons’ ability to operate around the clock. The Falcons had over 37 minutes of possession time against Boise State.

Defenses of Rocky Long have a history of slowing an Air Force offensive over the years. The last time the Rocky Long defense encountered the Air Force was in 2018 when he was the lead instructor in the Air Force and the Falcons slowed to just 215 yards on the ground..

The last time Rocky was in Albuquerque opposite the Falcons, Lobos caught the Air Force at 227 yards to the ground. Much below the average hawk.

Knowing that defense can slow down the air force running game, it would be up to the attack to produce enough and not turn the ball in order to win. The running game has to be strong with the triple threat of Bryson Carroll, Bobby Cole and Nathaniel Jones. Whoever starts in the middle, Toyoti or Hole, is very capable of moving football up and down the field.

I think the Lobos will finally get over the hump. I love the Lobos win 28-17.
