-Long said eye discipline will be key on defense.
"The staff will tailor some plays for Christian [Chapman] to take advantage of what he does best.
Translation: simpler reads and rollouts.
-Air Force blitzes a lot and play a lot of man coverage.
-Christian carries himself a lot more confidently than he did during the spring. Was pleased with how he handled stepping in when Maxwell went down.
-Long on Roberts: makes the reads correctly most of the time and his pitches are accurate. Also doesn't miss wide open receivers.
"He does not miss 'em. Puts it where they can catch it and keep running."
Air Force has had 11 rushers earn over 100 yards in games this year. Long not focused on one in particular other than Owens running the dive plays.
-Long said Noble Hall probably won't play (abdomen inflammation).
SDSU down to six d-linemen.
Sanchez/Barrett/Kelley
Watson/Jackson/Phillips/Rochelin.
Long says that's more worrisome than Maxwell Smith's absence.
