AF OL; 280-280-265-285-275 from LT to RT SMALL for todays day and age. Nowhere near the size and power of OU (thank God!).
DL needs to wreck havoc in the BACKFIELD and force TURNOVERS! LB's need to fill lanes and seal edges with the CB's.

You know the triple option requires smaller linemen?
It’s not and advantage.
The reason all the service academy’s run the triple option is because despite playing football they still have to meet military height and weight standards (each branch is different) so they run and offense that doesn’t require 320lbs linemen. Being smaller and quick allows to to move an cut easier.

I think what Shane means is that you don't need massive lineman to chop block the d-line's knees, which is exactly what we will see tomorrow.Posted On: Sep 7th 2018, 2:56 PM #380321
Air Force fan here looking for a good game with no injuries to either team (and no lightning delays as we had two in Colorado Springs last Saturday). Note you will indeed see the legal cut block but hopefully will not see or get called for the illegal chop block. Two different things! A chop block occurs when a blocker is engaging an opponent above the waist and his teammate makes a delayed block at or below the knees. It's always illegal.

who ever decides that 2pm kickoff is good for attendance obviously never sat in the stands during a football game in South Florida in SeptemberPosted On: Sep 7th 2018, 6:21 PM #380327
Word is the coaches wanted it to make it more difficult for Air Force with the heat and humidity at sea level.
If that's all they need I could have stayed home and watched it in the AC! Ha
