Zac Larrier QB vs. Taylen Green QB
Zac Larrier has been instrumental in the Air Force Falcons’ 8-3 record this season. Completing 37 out of 62 attempts with 37 completions en route to 744 passing yards for his 37 completions from 62 attempts (59.7% completion percentage), his impressive 744 passing yard total is testament to both deep passing ability and strategic playmaking ability. Larrier boasts his longest pass ever at 94 yards showcasing arm strength. However, 7 total sacks (losing 34 yards total) is indicative of potential vulnerabilities against defensive pressure.
Boise State Broncos quarterback Taylen Green provides an alternative style of play. Although his completion rate may not match up to his opponent’s (53.3%), Green has managed to accumulate 1298 passing yards this season. Green’s statistics demonstrate a more cautious approach, emphasizing possession and gradual advancement. His performance- including 8 passing touchdowns against 6 interceptions- shows an ideal mix between aggressive plays and cautious strategies. His longest pass of the season stands at 59 yards, suggesting an accurate short-to-medium range passing game. However, Green’s lower passer rating of 121.9 compares poorly with Larrier’s 186 in terms of passer ratings; specifically in his completion percentage and interceptions. Green showed great resilience under pressure, only being sacked six times for 30 yard losses and making quick decisions against Air Force’s formidable defense.
Air Force’s Aerial and Ground Attack
Air Force’s offense is led by dynamic running back Emmanuel Michel, who has amassed 733 yards and 9 touchdowns on average at 4.5 yards per carry averaging. Michel is key in helping Air Force break through Boise State’s defense while Jared Roznos with 332 receiving yards and two touchdowns adds diversification to Air Force’s playbook.
Broncos’ Balanced Offensive Playbook
Boise State counters with Ashton Jeanty, an impressive backfield force rushing for 1006 yards and 12 touchdowns this year. His ability to find gaps and break tackles will test Air Force’s defensive line while Eric McAlister’s presence as wide receiver (873 yards, 5 touchdowns) provides Green with another effective weapon in his passing game arsenal.
