Falcons March On
In impressive fashion, Air Force closed out a surprising season with a surprisingly easy win over last year's Mountain West powerhouse, TCU. Scoring early, the Falcons never trailed. While they hung on to a 14-point lead going into the half, turnovers and big plays allowed them to expand that lead to 49-14 with 5:40 left in the 4th. The win mark's Air Force's 6th in a row, and paves the way for an unexpected 10-win season. The Falcons will try for win #10 in 3 weeks as they take on the Soutern Miss Golden Eagles in the Fort Worth Bowl.
