After a 2-0 start, Air Force lost to Wyoming in what was a back-and-forth defensive battle. The Falcons' defense has been excellent all year, and it was their offense that let them down last week. Entering this contest, they rank 17th best against the pass and in the top 30 when it comes to allowing points.

Nevada has barely utilized the passing game, as they're averaging just 151.5 passing yards per game. As a result, Toa Taua has already notched 78 rushing attempts, but he's averaging only 3.6 yards per carry. Taua, who's in his fifth year, has already totaled 3,363 yards on the ground in his career. Look for him to see around 20 carries again.

On the flipside, Air Force leads the nation in running, averaging 410.7 rushing yards per game. Last week though, they were held to just 171 yards on the ground, with leading rusher Brad Roberts totaling just 54 after he opened up the season with two great performances. Running back John Lee Eldridge recorded 104 rushing yards, and now he's up to 277 total yards on 9.6 yards per carry. The Falcons will look to the ground game to shake off last week's disappointing loss.
