Tim Jefferson needs to deliver big game if Falcons want to drop Navy

Air Force arrives in Maryland as a slight underdog for Saturday’s game with Navy. The Falcons defense is depleted by injury. The Falcons have an unknown quality about them about two games that were barely games against South Dakota and Tennessee State and a nearly complete disaster against TCU.

This is the game when the Falcons can make a statement about themselves and their future in 2011.

This is a game when Tim Jefferson must deliver.

I don’t see Air Force winning if this game is decided solely by ground attacks. Navy is at home and Navy will be attacking Air Force’s banged-up defense.

Jefferson must make big plays through the air for Air Force to emerge as victors. Coach Troy Calhoun must show nerve and imagination in his play calling, and Jefferson must show accuracy. I think Air Force must crack the 150-yard barrier through the air if it wants to walk away as the winner of this game.

What do you think?

I don’t think 150 yards are required as much as a 150+ passing efficiency.

This game is super critical for AFA. Lose it and AFA ‘s top 2 goals (CIC trophy and Conference Championship) are already shot for the season.

David,

I concur!

Jefferson passed for 120 yards with an efficiency of 237.
Proctor passed for 132 yards and a a 110 efficiency.

Turns out that once again the games turns on kicking.

Whats with the passive defense. Is Wallerstadt compensating for personnel shortcomings or does he expect to win by waiting for the other team to screw up.
