AAA's LATE NIGHT DESTRUCTION PASS (BREAK OUT THE BROOMS!)
(NCAAF) Air Force vs. Utah State, 09/24/2016 6:15 PM, Score: 27 - 20
Point Spread: 5.00 | -110.00 Utah State (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on Utah State.

Setting the scene: Air Forces was off last week and we think that rest is going to lead to rust in its first Mountain West Conference game of the season.

The Falcons: They opened with a 37-21 home win over Abilene Christian. On September 10th they beat Georgia State 48-14. The defense looked pretty good, holding Georgia State to 169 total yards, while the offense posted 531, including 464 of the rushing variety. QB Nate Romine had 124 rushing yards, but was just 3 of 9 passing for 67 yards.

The Aggies: Utah State is 2-1 to open the year, last week beating up on Arkansas State 34-20. RB Tonny Lindsey Jr. had a 98 yards and two TD's. QB Kent Myer was 11 of 25 for 136 yards, one TD and one INT. The defense was tough, LB Brock Carmen would post a career-best 12 stops, including 1.5 tackles for a loss to go along with a sack. Note that the defense has posted 26 tackles for a loss through its first three games and its average of 8.7 per contest puts it second in the conference and 19th nationally.

The bottom line: Utah State has won 25 of its last 28 at home. It also plays with revenge after falling 35-28 to Air Force last season. We think the Aggies have a defense tailor made to slow down AF's high-powered option, while also possessing a dangerous one-two punch on the offensive side of the ball. While we obviously wouldn't be shocked by an outright upset, we will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can. Play on UTAH STATE.
