Bombs away on the Zoomies

CSU gets to take on those other instate rivals this weekend, the Zoomies of Air Force, who started off this lovely 12 games losing streak since for the Rams.

The 24-21 comeback victory for the Falcons, in which they trailed at half 21-3, put the Rams into a funk, one they have stayed in for a year.

My buddy Ben, who has this great blog, wanted me to predict the Rams would turn their fortune and go on a 12-game winning streak, but I can’t do that.

I will predict that the Rams pull this one off, and it will give them confidence to finish the season well, early struggles considered.

Air Force always plays hard, but they can’t out-athlete the Rams, something most teams have done this year. They are tough and disciplined (and not afraid to injure), but I think that actually plays into the Rams’ hands.

CSU has trouble with team that have speed that disrupts schemes on both sides of the ball. Against Air Force the Rams should be able to line up and pound the ball, setting up the play-action pass.

On defense, the Rams will have trouble containing mobile quarterback Shaun Carney and quick scat back Chad Hall, but no other Falcon on offense poses a true big play threat. The two-deep defense that the Rams so love will be a great match-up against the Falcons short-passing and semi-option offense.

I feel the game will be close, and hopefully CSU’s special teams can live up to their potential and actually make a special play.

I truly feel that the Rams are one win away from breaking out, it is just a question of will they finally get it going too late to save anyone’s job.

The players say that they are playing for their coach, so do it the way Sonny used to.

By winning.
