Pregame: Air Force at Wyoming; throw out the first meeting
February 23rd, 2011, 9:26 pm · 1 Comment · posted by Frank Schwab
The first time Air Force played Wyoming, the Falcons won 72-51 on Jan. 22. This game seems like it is against a different opponent.
Wyoming switched coaches in early February, and switched some strategy – for example, the zone defense Air Force took advantage of has been replaced by more man defense. The Falcons are planning on seeing more wrinkles tonight because Wyoming had the last week off, allowing the coaching staff to make more changes. In many ways, it feels more like an early-season nonconference game than a second meeting against a familiar conference foe.
How Air Force adjusts during the game will be a big factor tonight. With a win, the Falcons clinch no worse than seventh place in the Mountain West, with a chance to move up a couple of spots.

I'm Frank Schwab, Air Force beat reporter for The Gazette. I've been at the paper since 2003, and covered the Broncos for seven seasons. I covered the University of Wisconsin in the late 1990s, so I'm well versed in running football teams (Ron Dayne) and defensive basketball teams (Dick Bennett). I love to chat on www.twitter.com/GazetteAirForce, and will respond to comments and emails at frank.schwab@gazette.com.
