The receiver line has also helped Nick Nash firmly establish himself, with 170 receiving yards from 10 targets and a staggering TDy average of 17 yards, and he still managed to score two TDs. In this case, Nash’s role is crucial for limiting the opponent’s air force, as he must effectively coordinate the San Jose State’s offense.

In the case of T Robinson, who boasts good numbers in the receiving aspect with 21 yards, as explained earlier, all his catches were worth every inch of yards gained. Even with the present scope and focus on contributions to the play, Roberson’s positions will be fundamental to integrating passing options into Air Force strategies on the where-what-do-what axis.
