Glad to see no one, defensive line especially, were injured. I always cringe when I see the chop/cut block.

some of those blocks were blatant attmepts to take out a guys knees from behind. I'm glad the offense didn't play around today.

Rushing yards against an option team aren't exactly indicative of our performance.

Thought it was a solid win. Hopefully there weren't too man injuries to account for.

2 weeks to rest and focus on a pro-style offense... are you kidding me?

This is going to be a great win.

You heard it from the office linebacker first. Couldn't agree more.

I know this has already been talked about, but...
Watching this game again... there were countless numbers off late hits and dirty hits by AFA. Twice within 10 minutes have their players dove at the back of our players knees after the play was over. I can't believe that they think this is part of football. That was some disgustingly dirty play by Air Force.

And we only managed to sack Jefferson once because there was blatant holding on every pass attempt by AF.

All of the service academies get a disgusting amount of deference from the referees. I respect them as institutions, but their football teams are dirty. It's hard to imagine a worse potential opponent than a perennially underrated cut-blocking option team that gets to skate on penalties.

Completely agree. I love the way our players just shrugged it off and didn't get confontational. I personally would not have been so even keeled and cool headed if someone was diving at the back of my knee after a play had ended.
