Two teams couldn't be more different offensively.

Air Force is a team that doesn't really put much air under the ball.

BYU is a team that has built a tradition on their passing proficiency.

The two will go head-to-head on Saturday in Colorado Springs.

Air Force coach Troy Calhoun made special mention of BYU's quarterback Max Hall and his favorite targets Austin Collie and Dennis Pitta.

"They have a lot of weapons," Calhoun said. "They've got a bunch of veteran players, guys that are talented, and then you mash in there Unga. They will just pound at you with those big backs."

BYU leads the conference in passing offense with 307 yards per game.

The Falcons lead the conference in rushing with 275 yards per game, but are dead last in passing at 85 yards per game.

BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall doesn't think Air Force is as one dimensional as the stats show.

"They have the go to staple of an option based run attack," Mendenhall said, "but the variety they have within that is pretty impressive. I think they have found a way within their identity to capture the best of both worlds."

Something is working for the Falcons. They are 8-2 overall and 5-1 in the conference.

Air Force will hope that BYU is still a little punch-drunk from their loss to TCU.

While it is true that BYU hasn't been blowing teams away since that loss, Mendenhall feels that his team is ready to play.

"The resolve and the will and the diligence they are demonstrating is something I'm happy with," Mendenhall said. "I think that gives them their best chance to win in the next two weeks. Neither game will be easy, both are difficult."

Bowl Eligibility Derby

The Cowboys may have ridden out of Tennessee last Saturday with a win, but they'll need to win their next two games to become bowl eligible.

Two fellow 4-6 conference foes stand in their way.

Wyoming faces UNLV on Thursday night in Las Vegas and welcome Colorado State to Laramie the following week.

"Beating Tennessee was a feather in our cap," Wyoming coach Joe Glenn said. "We all know what's out there for Colorado State. We know what's out there for UNLV. We know what is out there for Wyoming. We all have a chance to get ourselves bowl eligible."

After hosting the Cowboys, the Rebels will head to San Diego to face the 1-9 Aztecs.

CSU will host the 4-7 New Mexico Lobos on Saturday.

The Lobos, who are playing their final game of the season, hsope to dash the Rams hopes of a bowl game.

Utah takes its turn beating on the Aztecs

The San Diego State Aztecs are the only team in the Mountain West Conference that has yet to win a conference game.

That trend looks to continue.

The Aztecs face the No. 7 Utah Utes at Qualcomm Stadium on Saturday.

Utah coach Kyle Whittingham doesn't want his players to let up against the hapless Aztecs.

"Like every conference game it is important," Whittingham said. "We've got to work hard in practice and stay focused. Our guys have been able to do that for ten weeks in a row now."

The Aztecs know what a huge challenge it is to play a top ten team, but coach Chuck Long feels his team is improving.

"We've got a lot of young guys in there on our football team," Long said. "They're just trying to find their way and they are getting better."
