Air Force vs New Mexico Game Preview

Why Air Force Will Win

New Mexico can’t get the offense moving.

Air Force will close out its first half drives with points – that might seem simple, but that’s enough. New Mexico can’t do much if it has to press with the passing attack to get back into the game.
