Locked and loaded in the press box

[Doogie]

Pregame notes:

--Air Force starting lineup changes: Nick Charles in at LG, in place of AJ Wallerstein...and on defense LB Patrick Hennessey starts in place of Alex Means and PJ Adeji-Paul starts in the defensive backfield in place of Reggie Rembert
--Sid has yet to get food all over his shirt
--Was on field for stretching...can confirm that Adam Weber doesn't have an eye-black tribute to Michael Vick
--Student section is absolutely electric
--Lines outside I'm told are horrible...if coming next week, don't wait until 20-min. before kickoff to enter
--As Marcus Fuller noted, the AF players were doing push-ups in their full pads...impressive
--You know it's a big game when Mark Rosen is here on a Sat. night and Mike Morris is as well

Doogie, any thoughts on the play of the team up til now? Offense appears to be ragged again, but D seems to be stepping up.

Triplett super...too bad Collado bit on the fake reverse...new pro-style not working through a game-and-three-quarters...although Weber has been in shotgun a lot...miss Stommes at LT...looks like they are throwing it shorter here in 2nd half....running game doesn't exist...failed on 3rd & 1 two times...couple dumb penalties again....a holding brought back a long gain and Triplett hit a guy out of bounds, although Triplett has been so good that one can be excused.
