How to watch Air Force football vs. Wyoming on Saturday evening

Wyoming running back Harrison Waylee may miss the game against Air Force due to a leg injury. Air Force is expected to have players returning from injury.

Wyoming (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West) is set to face off against Air Force (5-0, 3-0) in an exciting college football matchup. The game is scheduled for kickoff at 5 p.m. on Saturday. Fans can catch the action on CBS Sports Network, available on DirecTV 221, Dish Network 158, Xfinity/Comcast 170/846, and CBS Sports streaming devices.

The broadcast crew for the game includes Rich Waltz as the play-by-play commentator, Aaron Taylor as the analyst, and Justin Walters on the sidelines. Radio coverage will be provided by KVOR AM 740 in Colorado Springs and 104.3 the Fan in Denver. SIRIUS XM 381 will also carry the game.

There are a few key things to know heading into this matchup. Wyoming's running back, Harrison Waylee, is questionable for the game due to a leg injury sustained in the previous victory over Fresno State. Waylee has been a crucial player for Wyoming this season, rushing for 540 yards with an impressive average of 7.2 yards per attempt.

On the other side, Air Force may see the return of defensive lineman Payton Zdroik, who has missed the past two games with a knee injury. Additionally, Jayden Thiergood, another defensive lineman, has been slowly working his way into the mix this year and is expected to benefit from the bye week.

It's important to not put too much emphasis on last year's game between these two teams. Air Force's roster was heavily impacted by injuries in that game, resulting in a 17-14 loss at Laramie. Linebacker Alec Mock, who suffered from severe sickness leading up to the game, emphasized that they were simply outplayed and refused to make excuses.

In terms of numbers, both Air Force and Wyoming have only one loss each, which came from Wyoming's 31-10 defeat against then-No. 4 Texas. This is a rare occurrence, as in the past 21 years, Air Force has only played a game this late in the calendar with both teams having one combined loss once before in 2021.

The home team has had the upper hand in the Air Force-Wyoming series, winning the past four consecutive games. The only exception was in 2017 when Wyoming's quarterback Josh Allen led the Cowboys to a 28-14 victory at Falcon Stadium.

If Air Force secures its sixth victory of the season against Wyoming, it will mark their fourth consecutive full season of gaining bowl eligibility. This would be an impressive feat for coach Troy Calhoun, with 13 out of 16 full seasons resulting in bowl eligibility.

Air Force enters this game with an impressive 10-game winning streak, with only Georgia (23), Washington (12), and Florida State (11) having longer streaks. However, Wyoming ended Fresno State's 14-game winning streak in their previous matchup.

This game promises to be an exciting clash between two talented teams. Both Wyoming and Air Force have shown their strengths throughout the season, making this a must-watch game for college football fans.
