A we re going to have to be at our absolute  both teams Are coming off season opening blowouts Iasi saturday. Army trounced division Laa Colgate six and North Carolina beat Cincinnati 51-16. While the Colgate game was a mismatch it did provide an inexperienced army team with the Opportunity to accomplish a couple of things. A one it allowed us to play a lot of people Quot Sutton said and two it gave our defensive unit where nine of 11 Guys Are new a Chance to get through those first game jitters and learn to play together As a  quarterback Willie Mcmillian who ran for 17 1 Yards and Lour touchdowns while playing just the first half kept the Blowout in perspective. A any time you can learn from your mistakes and win you Are a lot better off Quot Mcmillian said.

A file knee injury against Cincinnati and Dwight Hollier who anchors what is considered one of the Best line Back my corps in the nation. He a out at least until october with a broken foot. A if you had told me six months ago we would have to play without natron and Dwight i might have tried to resign. Brown said. With no defensive starter weighing More than 255 pounds army must contend with a North Carolina starting offensive line that averages 280 pounds including tackles Rickie Shaw 6-foot 5 and 290 pounds and Andrew Oberg 6-7, 288. Army which rolled up 500 total Yards against Colgate relies on Mcmillian a running of the Wishbone of min Quot a Sorn thing army has excelled at since the mid a Volls Quot Mcmillian is one of the Best quarterbacks Well face All year Brown said.

The aztecs have lost their last five games at Falcons stadium. The last time the teams met Here in 1989, air Force quarterback Dee Dowis scored six touchdowns and gained 249 Yards Rushing. Dowis is gone and Luginbill a aztecs now have to contend with Roh Perez the Falcon senior who is Rushing for Over 102.7 Yards per game. Perez is not a Dee Dowis but he s an excellent player Luginbill said. A and i think the offence suits him. Air Force runs a ground eating Wishbone attack that features the quarterback and the fullback a in this Case Jason Jones who has averaged 106 Yards a game. Perez and Jones have each scored touchdowns in each of the Falcons first three games. Falcon coach Fisher Deberry has his own problems �nt0p ? running attack that averaged More than 300 Yards a game and a passing attack that also averages More than 300 Yards a game.
