Can UConn stop Air Force's power rushing attack? That will be the question the Huskies will need to answer going into their Week 9 road matchup with the Falcons. Air Force is second in the nation in rushing, averaging just over 337 yards per game using the triple option. UConn coach Jason Candle knows Air Force's unique offense will take discipline and technique, especially at the high elevation. “I think (the triple option) stresses your eye discipline, makes you play assignment football and sound football,” Candle said on Monday. “You got to take on blocks with the correct shoulder. You have to have great hand placement. You got to defeat and destruct blocks at a high level, and then you ultimately have to be a great tackling team, or this piles up on you fast.”UConn is coming off a 35-17 win over UMass, aided by a defense that held the Minutemen to 53 yards on the ground. A win on Saturday will set the Huskies (4-3) up well for the rest of the season as they will inch closer to bowl eligibility.
