Jim Feist's 20-Star Mountain West Conference Game of the Year!CF (379) TCU VS (380) AIR FORCE
Take: 20-Star (379) TCU
Reason: Mountain West Game of the Year: TCU.
It’s never easy to prepare for the Air Force ground attack, but TCU has experience: These teams met last season and the Frogs rolled, 44-10! TCU (4-0 SU, 2-1 ATS) has a powerful ground game of its own (200 yds rushing pg) and a fierce defense, just like last year. Coach Gary Patterson likes offensive balance and has a veteran attack with junior QB Andy Dalton (6 TDs, 2 picks, playing since his freshman season) and RB Joseph Turner. The defense dominated in a 14-10 win at Clemson. The Air Force Falcons come off a disheartening 16-13 OT loss to rival Navy. "We came here to win the football game. We did not do it. Physically, that was an extraordinary football game." TCU has the run defense to contain Air Force. Play TCU!
Jim Feist's Inner Circle Game of the Month - Saturday!CF (335) NEW MEXICO VS (336) WYOMING
Take: 5-Star (336) WYOMING
Reason: Inner Circle Game of the Month: Wyoming. Wyoming (3-2) is playing decent for new head coach in Dave Christensen, who is demanding more physical play. They come home from a long road trip to Florida International last week, a 30-28 comeback. Christensen has brought in a no-huddle, up-tempo, spread offense, but he has no QB stablity. They have rotated QBs freshman Austyn Carta-Samuels (3 TDs, 1 pick) and senior Karsten Sween. New Mexico (0-5 SU/1-4 ATS) has been terrible under new coach Mike Locksley, a better recruiter than Xs and Os guy and it shows during their 0-5 start. They had a frustrating 20-17 home loss to rival New Mexico State, allowing a TD with 39 seconds left. The home team has far too much offense. Play Wyoming.
