For the record: CSU 0-5, 0-2 in the Mountain West.
Streaking: CSU’s 12-game losing streak started at Air Force last season.
Who’s hot: Kicker Jason Smith is 6-for-6 in field goals the past three weeks.
Who’s not: The defense has given up touchdowns on the opening drive in three of five games and yielded last-minute or overtime scores in two of the five losses.
Key stat: QB Caleb Hanie was held to fewer than 200 yards passing for the first time this season by a San Diego State team that was next to last in the country in pass defense.
FYI: CSU hasn’t lost to Air Force in Fort Collins since 1997.
Coachspeak: “As long as our guys are playing hard, that’s the key. And I think they are. This will be a nice test for all of us from this point on.” – Sonny Lubick
