gameday at falcon stadium
At the base of the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains, game day at Falcon Stadium is truly a remarkable experience. Pre-game fly-bys, the march-on, the Drum and Bugle Corps and the spirited cadet section, make Falcon Stadium the place to be on Game Day page 5 -- goairforcefalcons.com -- page 5

falcon football traditions
One of the only performing mascots in the NCAA, the Falcon swoops in on the lure at halftime during every home game. Prior to every service academy game, the “prisoners of war� are exchanged at midfield. The POWs are exchange cadets from the other academies who sit with their respective academies during the game. page 7 -- goairforcefalcons.com -- page 7
cadet wing spirit
After every Falcon score, the cadets storm the field and do pushups for every Air Force point on the board. After every game, the Falcons stand hand-in-hand in front of the cadet wing as the Drum and Bugle Corps plays the alma mater.

commander-in-chief’s trophy The seniors from the winning team in the battle for the Trophy make a trip to the White House for a ceremony with the President of the United States. No other college or professional athletic team has visited the White House as often as the Air Force football team. The Falcons have made 20 trips to Washington, D.C., since 1982. The Falcons have met President Ronald Reagan five times, President George H.W. Bush three times, President Bill Clinton six times, President George W. Bush twice, President Barack Obama three times and President Donald Trump once.

commander-in-chief’s trophy No other games on the schedule arouse such passion and unrelenting battle followed by respect and admiration as the service academy contests. After nearly three hours of raging war on the field, each team respectfully stands at attention for each other’s school song. These warriors know that following the battles on the playing field, they will one day fight and serve together in the armed forces. Service academy week is a special time at the Air Force Academy. Prior to the game, the prisoners of war are exchanged. Each academy has several exchange cadets from their fellow academies. Prior to the service academy game, these cadets are exchanged by the wing or brigadier commanders of the academies so they can sit on their own side during the game. The “prisoner of war” exchange is usually highlighted by the cadets having a message taped to their backs. Service academy games are the ultimate experience of sportsmanship, competitiveness and respect. Falcon fans are well aware of this, as nearly 700,000 people have watched the Falcons play Army and Navy in the last 15 years, averaging over 45,000 fans per game. Nine of AFA’s top 15 crowds have come against Army and Navy.

Brian Bullard Award
Seniors Weston Steelhammer and Lochlin Deeks earned the Brian Bullard Award in 2016. Steelhammer (right) earned All-American honors and was a finalist for the Lott IMPACT Award. The safety led the team in tackles and broke the school record for career interceptions. Deeks (left) recorded 32 tackles and a pass breakup in 2016. The defensive lineman recorded 63 career tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss
The Bullard Award is voted on by the team based on the criteria that typifies Brian Bullard - unselfishness, 110 percent effort, total team commitment and pride in his role on the team whether he’s a starter or not. A memorial is located in the Falcon Athletic Center so that every football player sees it every day. The memorial has Brian’s picture and the name and photo of each year’s winner. A 1982 graduate of Air Academy High School in Colorado Springs, Brian attended the Academy the following year. After playing on the junior varsity his freshman year, he made the varsity and lettered as a sophomore in 1983. During Thanksgiving vacation that year, Brian, a member of Cadet Squadron 27, and cadet Dianne Williams of Cameron, Mo., were returning from Kansas and were caught in a snow storm. The two died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Williams was a member of Cadet Squadron 33 and played on the women’s varsity golf team. The Brian Bullard award is presented annually at the Falcon football team banquet. Brian was the epitome of everything Air Force Football stands for. Brian’s life is used not only for motivation, but as the benchmark each Falcon football player should strive to attain. The criteria established for the award were taken directly from the life of Brian Bullard. The recipient of this prestigious award cares about the team first and himself second. He loves his team and his teammates and will do everything he can to make his brothers better. He is a source of encouragement for everyone and truly leads by example. He gives his all and truly enjoys every practice. He shows great pride in his role on the team and is a pleasure to coach. Though he played just two seasons with the football team, Brian left quite an impression.

denver - the mile high city
Less than 45 minutes from the Academy and with over 300 days of sunshine per year, The Mile High City of Denver has it all. Truly a sports capitol, Denver has nine professional sports teams, including the Denver Broncos (NFL), Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Colorado Rockies (MLB), Colorado Rapids (Major League Soccer), Denver Dynamite (Indoor Soccer League), Denver Outlaws (Major League Lacrosse) and the Colorado Mammoth (National Lacrosse League). Recent success among the teams has driven the excitement for these teams a mountain high. The Broncos won the Super Bowl in 1998 and 1999. The Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 1996 and 2001. The Rockies played in the World Series in 2007. Located just east of the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Divide, Denver has a mild and dry climate with more days of sunshine per year than San Diego and Miami. Golf courses are open year round as the average winter temperature is 45 degrees, warmer than Boston, New York City and St. Louis. The city sits at 5,280 feet above sea level. In fact, there is a step on the State Capitol Building that is exactly one mile above sea level. Even at a mile above sea level, the city is dwarfed by its backdrop. The foothills being just west of the city and the peaks of the mountain range reach heights of more than 14,000 feet. Despite the proximity to the mountains, the city receives just 8-15 inches of precipitation per year, about the same as Los Angeles. The United States Census Bureau estimates that, in 2006, the population of the City and County of Denver was 566,974, making it the 27th most populous U.S. city. The Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated 2006 population of 2,408,750 and ranked as the 21st most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area. Denver has the largest city park system in the nation. There are 650 miles of off-street, bike paths, 90 golf courses and 200 parks. Within a 90-minute drive from downtown Denver, there are opportunities for some of the country’s best skiing, hiking, fishing, rafting and mountain biking.

colorado springs - the pikes peak region
The immortal words of an eastern visitor in 1893 live perpetually at the base of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. When teacher and poet Katherine Lee Bates took a wagon ride to the summit of Pikes Peak she was inspired to write a song that is still recited today. Her view from atop the 14,110-foot peak was the basis of her song “America the Beautiful”. The history of Colorado Springs traverses back to 1870 when Gen. William Jackson Palmer first visited the region and was captivated by its grandeur. A year later, he began designing his city of dreams. From its beginning on the corner of Pikes Peak and Cascade Avenues in downtown Colorado Springs, the city has grown more than 183 square miles and to nearly 400,000 people in the city and 600,000 in the metro area. Colorado Springs is known nationally for its natural attractions. The Garden of the Gods, the area’s No. 1 natural attraction, is a majestic out-cropping of red sandstone rocks which are more than 300 million years old. Colorado Springs is also home to the Pikes Peak Highway, a 19-mile drive up the world’s highest toll road. The area’s No. 1 manmade attraction is the Air Force Academy’s Cadet Chapel. Another major attraction is the Broadmoor Hotel and Resort. Built in the early 1900s, this five-star resort, hosted the 1995 U.S. Women’s Open Golf Championship and the 2008 Senior U.S. Open, and is nestled into the base of Cheyenne Mountain. The Pikes Peak region is home to the nation’s only mountain zoo. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, with an elevation of more than 6,800-feet, has received several changes in the past two years. For the outdoors enthusiast, the city and the state offer a plethora of recreational activities. A short drive to the northwest features some of the nation’s finest ski resorts, including the cities of Vail and Aspen. A short jaunt to the southwest or northwest will find some of the best white-water rafting, fishing, hiking and cycling that the country has to offer.

human performance lab
Ben Garland, a 2010 Academy graduate and four-year letterwinner on the defensive line, working out in the newly-remodeled human performance lab. Garland played in 16 games for the NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons in 2016. The Human Performance Lab, led by Lt. Col. Michael Zupan, enhances team and individual performance. Educational workshops, performance assessments and training sessions are given to coaches and athletes, which result in consistent high performances and outstanding achievements for all the athletic programs at the Academy. The nationally acclaimed sports vision program improves a player’s performance through overloading the visual system, which helps players work on certain visual aspects of the game. This training has shown to enhance visual skills critical to athletic performance, such as hand-eye coordination, depth perception, and speed of eye movement, up to 150%. The hyperoxic training program allows athletes to train in an oxygen rich environment to increase aerobic and anaerobic performance output by 10 to 15%. This live high – train low model allows for greater performance gains with less impact on the athletes.

sports medicine The mission of Athletic Training is to provide all necessary athletic training and physical rehabilitative services in support of intercollegiate, physical education, intramural and recreational activities. These services include emergency and acute injury/illness triage, the prevention, evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, proper referral, documentation and tracking of injuries sustained by cadet-athletes, as well as physical conditioning and nutritional and psycho-social consultation. Under the direction of the head athletic trainer Tony Peck, the athletic training staff includes 15 board-certified athletic trainers, with 14 post-graduate degrees. The staff provides athletic training services to all 4,000 cadets at the Academy involved in intramurals, physical education, fitness testing and 27 intercollegiate sports. Head football athletic trainer Erick Kozlowski leads veteran athletic trainer staff of Ernie Sedelmyer, Mark Peters and Derrick Fitts bring a wealth of experience to the football program. The staff uses the most up to date techniques of the highest standards of care for the cadet-athletes. The football sports medicine team uses a multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary approach to concussion management, sophisticated nutritional programs, movement screening, and progressive corrective exercise programs to improve performance, decrease injury potential and reduce the time lost due to injury. The Academy is one of 12 NCAA schools participating in the NCAA/DOD Grand Alliance Concussion Research Study. This fall the football team will participate with the Advance Research Core (ARC), Head Impact Measurement Data Collection. The team will utilize the Riddell SRS Head Impact Telemetry to measure the magnitude (linear and rotational acceleration) location, direction and duration as well as the exact time of impact. The athletic training branch facilities include three stateof-the-art athletic training rooms totaling approximately 20,000 square feet. Locations include the Jim Conboy Athletic Training Room, the Cadet Gymnasium athletic training room and the Cadet Field House athletic training room. The sports medicine division receives outstanding support and assistance from the medical professionals assigned to the 10th Medical Group. The departments of the 10th Medical Group provide assistance on a regular basis over and above their normal duty requirements, and frequently during their off duty time, include orthopedics, radiology, physical therapy and dentistry. Many other medical professionals from other specialties such as neurology and dermatology provide assistance and consultation as well. The teamwork and the highly educated professional staff in both the sports medicine division and the 10th Medical Group make the football sports medicine team at the Air Force Academy one of the best in the nation. Lt. Col. Judd Robins, MD, leads the team of Air Force Sports Medicine Physicians including Lt. Col. Jon Jackson, MD, and Maj Matthew Weirath.

falcon stadium
A picturesque setting at the base of the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains and boasting some of the grandest pageantry in all of college football, Falcon Stadium is without a doubt one of the premier college football stadiums in America.
Unprecedented Support Air Force’s attendance average is more than seven times its student body size (4,000), making Falcon Stadium the most-well attended in all of Division I football.
Sitting at 6,621 feet above sea level, the thin air has been kind to the Falcons. Air Force has won 63 percent of its home games in the stadium with a 185-111-4 all-time home record. Falcon Stadium’s elevation is the second-highest of any Division I-A stadium in the nation. The stadium’s current capacity is 46,692. Falcon Stadium, built in a natural bowl in the foothills, was built in the fall of 1962 at a cost of $3.5 million. Falcon Stadium opened on Sept. 22, 1962, when a then-overflow crowd of 41,350 saw Air Force defeat Colorado State, 24-0. AFA held a formal dedication on Oct. 20, 1962, when Air Force hosted Oregon. The Ducks won the game, 35-20. The stadium was originally built solely for football, but several non-athletic events, such as the Academy’s annual graduation, are conducted there. Since 1962, the stadium has seen several significant upgrades. In 1991, the Academy installed nine skyboxes and remodeled the existing press box. The facility currently seats 450 people indoors, along with 88 in the skyboxes. In addition to its game-day uses, the press box is also used by the athletic department as a banquet/meeting room.
Throughout the 1990’s and early 2000’s, the stadium’s capacity was 52,480 but in 2005, the stadium’s capacity was reduced to 46,692 (the current capacity). The removal of the bleachers on the east side greatly increased the fan experience with additional food and beverage vendors and more room to move around the stadium.
In 2002, the Academy added permanent lights. The cost of just under $500,000 was at no expense to tax payers. The Air Force Academy Athletic Association picked up the tab. That same season, a school record crowd of 56,409 packed the stadium for a game against Notre Dame. Prior to the 2006 season, FieldTurf was installed at a cost of $750,000. Prior to the 2016 season, two brand new scoreboards were installed, one in the north end zone and one in the south end zone. The video board in the south end zone is the largest in the Mountain West and among the service academies. The board is over 2,500 square feet of HD video display (dimensions are 31-2 by 82-8) and includes a state-of-the-art audio system. The scenic backdrop, the game-day experience and the recent upgrades have ensured that Falcon Stadium is among the best venues in all of college football. The proof is in the ranking as CBS Sports (March 2011) ranked Falcon Stadium the 22nd best in college football, higher than any other Mountain West institution.

falcon athletic center The Falcon Athletic Center (FAC), completed in July 2003, has proven to be one of the nation’s best facilities. The facility was part of a military construction project that not only built the new building, but altered the existing Cadet Field House. The $30.3 million project included 161,000 total square feet, including the Falcon Athletic Center’s 109,000 square feet and a 51,000 square foot renovation of the Cadet Field House, completed in March 2004. Student-athletes’ schedules at the Academy are institutionally driven, unlike that of most civilian schools where student-athletes have much more free time. Student-athletes at the Academy are allotted from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. daily for athletic pursuits. That time must be used for practice, transit to and from the dormitory area and the Cadet Gymnasium or Cadet Field House, medical taping and treatment and conditioning in the weight room. In addition, competition at the NCAA Division I level has become a year-round proposition for all athletes, whether they are cadets or their counterparts at civilian institutions. Understanding that the Academy enrollment of 4,000 consists of roughly 25 percent student-athletes (1,000), the existing athletic
facilities were taxed. The same was true for the existing medical treatment and weight room facilities. In addition to the student-athletes, the Academy also uses these facilities for its massive intramural sports program. The 3,000 cadets who are not intercollegiate athletes participate in intramural activities adding about 1,200 to 1,500 cadets in the athletic facilities at the same time. The 23,000 square foot, twostory weight training facility is on the first level, along with areas for equipment storage. The new sports medicine facility, equipment room, football coaches offices and football locker room are on the second level of the building. The reception area for the football offices displays the history of Falcon football. The third floor is home to the Hall of Excellence which features the history of the Academy’s intercollegiate and intramural programs, along with the inductees into the Athletic Hall of Fame. This area gives guests and visitors the opportunity to visit the history of Academy athletics along with a theatre and interactive displays. The fourth level is for athletic administration.

Falcon Fuel The Air Force Academy demonstrated teamwork in its truest sense with a project that will benefit all 4,000 cadets with refueling stations. Teammates from the department of athletics and the Cadet Dining Hall got together to work on a plan to provide the extra, vital nutrition to the cadets.
sion I schools are using to characterize areas close to athletic workout facilities where student athletes may get nutritional food (recovery shakes, bars, fruit, etc) post-workout.
“We have 4,000 elite athletes at the Air Force Academy,” Director of Athletics Jim Knowlton said. “We needed to find a way to get additional nutrition to these cadets as they go through the demanding Academy experience. Everyone we reached out to was 100 percent on board, starting with our superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson.” AD Team Members have coined the term “Falcon Fuel” for the fueling stations being implemented for cadet-athletes and the entire cadet population. Falcon Fuel aligns with the Healthy Base Initiative (HBI), the Department of Defense initiated demonstration project to encourage a healthy and fit alternative to the trend toward obesity. HBI covers four components: tobacco reduction, healthy eating, active living, and healthy communities. Falcon Fuel directly supports the following HBIs: 1. Empower the military community to make better nutritional choices 2. Increase physical activity In addition, failure to meet weight standards is a leading cause of involuntary separation from the military with obesity in the civilian community limiting the Department of Defense’s ability to recruit qualified personnel. “I am thoroughly excited about this new initiative to provide fueling opportunities for all of our cadet athletes! Nutrition is an integral piece of the performance puzzle that is finally gaining some traction,” Shelly Morales, cadet nutritionist said. “The selected nutritional products stocked in the stations will hopefully serve as an educational tool for our athletes on proper fueling. The goals are to help improve the performance of athletes, aid in the recovery after exercise, and encourage a “foods first” philosophy to reduce the risk of ineffective or dangerous supplement use.” On April 15, 2014, the NCAA Legislative Council decided that Division I student-athletes can receive unlimited meals and snacks in conjunction with their athletics participation. The rule is an effort to meet the nutritional needs of all student-athletes. Prior to this change, scholarship studentathletes received three meals a day or a food stipend. “Fueling Stations” is the current terminology many Divi-
The goal with this project was to create an attractive addition to the weight rooms which enhances the overall experience of its cadet-athletes and cadet population while adding a recruiting tool in the process. The transformation was two-fold and included a revamping of four weight rooms located in the Falcon Athletic Center, Cadet Gymnasium, reconditioning weight room and the Cadet Fitness Center. The placement of 12 total refrigerated units in the weight rooms highlights each facility. Cadet-athletes and the remaining cadet population will have immediate access to Falcon Fuel in the reach-in refrigerated units, stocked with highly nutritional foods, based on scientific research for pre/post-exercise nutrient requirements, selected by the cadet nutritionist Shelly Morales. Cadet-athletes will have access to Falcon Fuel during transition from lift to practice or vice versa. The cadet population will have access during a set window. Falcon Fuel provides cadets with pre, during, and post workout nutrition sources to enhance workout preparation and recovery, including carbohydrates and protein to ensure they are able to keep up performance without crashing. Appropriate nutrition provides the edge for improved strength, speed, stamina, and recovery. Falcon Fuel will cost about $500,000 annually and will be covered largely by USAFA’s existing food budget. Each fuel station will be managed by the athletic department strength and conditioning staff and filled with food items procured from Mitchell Hall’s food account and the NCAA Student Assistance Fund. “As an institution we chose to reinvest existing dollars spent on feeding the Cadet Wing by better aligning where and when supplemental nutrition is offered,” John Coulahan, associate athletic director finance and lead for the initiative said. “To this end, Falcon Fuel doesn’t replace the three squares offered by our dining facility but rather provides all 4,000 cadets nutrition during pre- and post-workouts when their bodies will benefit most. By comparison USAFA’s initiative is a bargain—for example Baylor University will spend $1.5M (Champion Magazine); Nebraska and Wisconsin $1.2M (USA Today) respectively on new annual costs to fund athletic nutrition--and their programs only target intercollegiate athletes. We view every cadet as an athlete, and we’ve put our money where their mouth is.”

holaday athletic center The dream became a reality on Oct. 1, 2010, as the USAFA Endowment, on behalf of the United States Air Force Academy and the Association of Graduates, hosted a ground-breaking ceremony for the new Holaday Athletic Center. The project was made possible by a generous lead gift of $5 million from Bart and Lynn Holaday, Class of 1965--the largest gift from a graduate to the Academy in the institution’s history. The Holaday Athletic Center, an indoor athletic training facility, is also unique in that it is the largest privately funded capital project in Academy history. Construction began in October 2010 and was completed in July 2011. The 92,000 square-foot center houses a regulation-sized field that can accommodate football, lacrosse and soccer, in addition to many other athletic activities. Cadet athletic development and performance will be enhanced through reduced weather delays, increased practice time and improved replication of game conditions that the facility provides. “Today is one of the most exciting days in the history of Air Force athletics,” said Air Force Director of Athletics Dr. Hans Mueh on the day of ground-breaking. “Air Force athletics is not just our 27 intercollegiate sports, but also encompasses intramurals, physical education classes and cadet physical fitness training. Air Force athletics touches every cadet here at the Academy and because of this generous gift from Bart and Lynn Holaday and others who have given, we will continue to have the very best facilities to provide total team and player development, benefiting all cadets and enhancing the Academy’s overall success in intercollegiate and intramural athletics.” Three days after the ground-breaking ceremony, construction began to level the ground north of the Cadet Field House and continued steadily throughout the winter. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on July 22, 2011.

the air force academy The United States Air Force Academy offers a four-year program of instruction and experience designed to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. Each cadet graduates with a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Air Force. Course of Study Cadets are exposed to a balanced curriculum that provides the knowledge, skills and responsibilities essential to a career Air Force officer. The entire USAFA experience is integrated and mapped to achieve a set of desired outcomes in every graduate. The core academic curriculum includes courses in basic sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Cadets take additional elective courses to complete requirements for one of 31 major areas of study. About 50 percent of the cadets complete majors in science and engineering; the remainder graduate in the social sciences and humanities. Some of the most popular majors include management, aeronautical engineering, foreign area studies, history, behavioral science, civil engineering, astronautical engineering, electrical engineering and engineering mechanics. Faculty Composition The majority of the Academy’s faculty members, more than 500 total, are Air Force officers. They are selected primarily from career-officer volunteers who have established outstanding records of performance and dedication. Each has at least a master’s degree and more than 55 percent have doctorates or other terminal degrees in their field of study. About 30 percent of the faculty are civilians who bring great depth of disciplinary and educational expertise and provide academic stability and continuity. Faculty members are intensely focused on cadet learning as an integral part of their officer development. The Air Force Academy has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for the most accessible and involved faculty. To provide greater contributions by a diverse faculty, the Academy has several distinguished visiting professors and endowed professors who serve one or more years. Officers from other services, as well as officers from allied countries are also members of the faculty. Distinguished civilian and military lecturers also share their expertise with the cadets during the academic year. Athletic Program The Academy’s athletic program is designed to improve physical fitness, teach athletic skills and develop leadership qualities. To achieve its goals, the Academy offers some of the most extensive physical education, intramural sports and intercollegiate athletic programs in the nation. Cadets take at least three different physical education courses each year.

Military Education and Training An air, space and cyberspace-oriented military education, training and leadership program begins with basic cadet training and continues throughout the four years. Seniors are responsible for the organizational leadership of the cadet wing, while juniors and sophomores seek to develop team and interpersonal leadership and instructional skills. Cadets are projected into as many active leadership roles as possible to prepare them to be effective Air Force officers. Fundamental concepts of military organization -- drill, ethics, honor, Air Force heritage and physical training -- are emphasized the first summer during basic cadet training. Freshmen then study the military role in United States society as well as the mission and organization of the Air Force. Sophomores receive instruction in communication skills and juniors study the combat and operational aspects of the Air Force. The Academy offers courses in flying, navigation, soaring and parachuting, building from basic skills to instructor duties. Some cadets may fly light aircraft with the Cadet Flying Team. Summer training for cadets is divided into three, three-week training periods. There are a variety of programs available and each cadet is required to complete two training periods each summer with leave during the other period. All new cadets take six weeks of basic cadet training in their first summer. Combat survival training is a required threeweek program during cadets’ second summer. For other second-summer training periods, cadets have options such as working with Airmen in an operational unit at an Air Force installation, airborne parachute training, soaring or basic freefall parachute training. During their last two summers, all cadets are offered leadership training as supervisors or instructors in the summer programs listed above. Extracurricular activities also are an integral part of the education program. The cadet ski club, drum and bugle corps, cadet chorale and forensics are a few of the programs available. Nominations Nominations to the Academy may be obtained through a congressional sponsor or by meeting eligibility criteria in other categories of competition established by law.

History of The Academy In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needs of the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service academies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay. In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commission narrowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs, Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property. In July 1955, the first Academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficiently completed for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million. Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

director of athletics jim knowlton Jim Knowlton begins his third full year as the director of athletics at the Air Force Academy. Knowlton joined the Academy as the 11th director of athletics on March 22, 2015. He oversees 27 intercollegiate varsity sports, physical education, intramurals and all physical testing and evaluation at the Academy. Air Force has soared to never-before-seen heights under Knowlton’s leadership. The Falcons won four conference championships (men’s swimming, hockey, lacrosse, men’s outdoor track) in 2016-17. Combined with the five won the previous year in Knowlton’s first season, nine conference titles in back-to-back years is the best in school history. Falcon coaches won six coaches of the year awards while 38 cadetathletes won 47 All-American honors last season. Air Force narrowly missed its second straight conference title in the Learfield Director’s Cup standings. Air Force finished second in the league and 64th nationally. The Falcons led the three service academies in the standings for the sixth consecutive season. Air Force bucked a six-year national trend of sagging attendance at football games in 2016. Air Force averaged 29,587 fans per game, equal to 63 percent capacity which bested the Mountain West average of 24,142. The Academy also saw a 14 percent increase from 2015 which ranked third in the conference and 14th nationally. Air Force won a record 20th Commander-inChief’s Trophy title in 2016. Coaches, players and staff from the Academy visited the White House in May 2017 to accept the trophy from President of the United States Donald J. Trump. Air Force’s community outreach is also at an all-time high. The Falcons hosted Brad Paisley prior to the Navy game for a free concert and plans are solidified for Blake Shelton to visit Falcon Stadium in September 2017. That outreach included hosting the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Spring Symposium. This landmark event, across the national collegiate sports landscape, brought together over 100 collegiate athletic directors from across the country to learn more about leadership and character development as well as sexual assault prevention. Facility improvement has been a major initiative under Knowlton’s guidance. Air Force will break ground on a major Falcon Stadium renovation when the 2017 season ends. There will be new locker rooms, media rooms, training rooms and other much-needed renovations to the north end zone of the stadium. These renovations have been made possible by a pair of $5 million donations, both coming from Air Force football alumni. In addition, locker room renovations took place in football, men’s and women’s basketball, ice hockey and volleyball while the department’s Falcon Room received a complete renovation. All total, there has been $22 million in athletic renovations in the last year. Knowlton also spearheaded a transformational partnership extension, as the department announced a 10-year agreement between USAA and IMG. USAA became the first premier sponsor of Air Force athletics which includes all interAir Force Football
service athletic contests across all intercollegiate sports. The USAA relationship is a momentous step for the Academy as a whole. USAA is committed to supporting the military and their commitment to the relationship is second to none. The athletics department also staged the first-ever Night of Excellence dinner and auction event supporting Air Force athletics. The event was held at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs and included a three-course meal and silent and live auctions. The event raised $160,000 with all proceeds going directly to the Air Force Academy’s Excellence Fund which supports cadet-athletes, equipment and team travel. Knowlton’s first year at the Academy was tremendously successful. The Falcons celebrated a school-best Learfield Director’s Cup standing of 52nd which led the Mountain West for the first time in school history and was tops among the three service academies for the fifth straight year. Air Force celebrated five conference championships (men’s cross country, men’s indoor and outdoor track, men’s swimming and diving and lacrosse) which tied as the most in a single year in Academy history. A school-record 12 coaches were named coach of the year and 52 cadet-athletes earned All-American status, the best in school history. The Academy had four multi-sport All-Americans, including two firstever Division I women’s All-American honorees, and three athletes earn trips to the Olympic Trials. Senior marksman David Higgins became the first to earn a spot on an Olympic team as a cadet, earning a spot on the shooting team. Several other initiatives were started that have the athletic department on the move. The athletic department vision has been put into a strategic plan that is in step with the Academy’s intent and is posted on the athletics’ website. In addition, Knowlton has furthered the department’s culture to commitment and developed a culture and climate officer that has met with all 27 intercollegiate teams to teach healthy relationship training. An athletic department reorganization incorporated the department’s non-profit entity, the Air Force Academy Athletic Corporation (AFAAC), into the department easing processes and improving communication. The two worked together to extend the department’s Nike contract which doubled the financial support received from the previous contract for athletics. As part of the on-going community outreach effort, a fan engagement committee was formed and athletic department staff and coaches have been active in the community speaking to special interest groups. The department opened a ticket and merchandise store to downtown Colorado Springs and the football team’s annual spring game was played at Fountain Fort Carson High School, bringing military leaders from Peterson Air Force Base and Fort Carson Army Base together with the Academy leadership in 2016. Also in 2016, the department announced the first of a concert series in Falcon Stadium with Tim McGraw headlining a star-studded event in September. One of the most noticeable improvements to the fan experience is two new video boards at Falcon Stadium. The new board in the South end zone is the largest in the conference and among the service academies.
emy. Cadets can refuel their bodies before and after workouts with healthy snacks and drinks. The Air Force Pride Clubs saw donations double to over $1 million while intramural championships were moved to the best athletic venues including Falcon Stadium and Clune Arena. Prior to the Air Force Academy, Knowlton served as the director of athletics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and was responsible for overseeing the Institute’s 12 men’s and 11 women’s NCAA intercollegiate varsity teams and three junior varsity squads, involving more than 600 student-athletes, as well as intramurals. In his time in Troy, Knowlton helped develop the strategic vision for the athletic department, implemented a new athletics branding initiative, increased two-way communication with the student-athletes, created and filled many key positions, and facilitated renovations to the Houston Field House as well as the construction of the $102M first phase of Rensselaer’s East Campus Athletic Village. Knowlton was selected as the National Association of Collegiate Director’s of Athletics (NACDA) Under Armour Division III Athletic Director of the Year in 2011. Knowlton also represented Rensselaer serving on several national committees, including the NACDA executive committee, the board of College Hockey, Inc. and as the chair of the NCAA Division I men’s Ice Hockey committee. Prior to joining Rensselaer, Knowlton served as the director of the Center for Enhanced Performance at the United States Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. In that position, he led a staff of 50 professionals who delivered training for peak performance in athletics, academics, and military endeavors to cadets, soldiers, and athletes both on and off the West Point campus. From 2003 to 2006 Knowlton served as both deputy and interim director for the athletics department at West Point, where he led a staff of more than 200 people and supervised 25 intercollegiate athletic programs with more than 1,000 student-athletes. During his tenure, West Point set the stage to earn its first NCAA national championship in more than 50 years. Knowlton received a bachelor’s degree in engineering in 1982 from West Point, where he was a four-year letterwinner and captain of the varsity hockey team. After 10 years of organizational leadership positions of increasing responsibility in the U.S. Army, Knowlton received a master’s in civil engineering from Cornell University. He returned to West Point in 1992 to teach in the civil and mechanical engineering department, after which he was selected to lead and manage larger and more complex organizations within the Army, ultimately leading a battalion of 750 men and women while stationed at Ft. Carson, Colo., before deploying to Iraq. Knowlton is a registered professional engineer in the state of Virginia. His awards and decorations include the Ranger Tab, the Air Assault Badge, and the Senior Parachutist Badge. Knowlton and his wife, Corey, have five sons: Jimmy, Patrick, Christopher, Mark and Shawn.
Knowlton led several initiatives that have benefited all cadets, in addition to intercollegiate athletes. The department started the Falcon Fuel program, installing re-fueling stations outside weight rooms for all 4,000 cadets at the Acad34
air force athletics Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy’s. The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athletics, intramurals and physical education. The intercollegiate program has 17 men’s and 10 women’s NCAA-sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women’s teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. In addition, the Academy sponsors two non-NCAA programs; boxing and cheerleading. The majority of the Academy’s men’s and women’s programs compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons compete in this conference against teams from Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Hawai’i (football only), Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State, San Jose State, UNLV, Utah State and Wyoming. All sports also compete against non-conference opponents, including many nationally ranked teams. The football team competes annually for the Commander-inChief’s Trophy, which is emblematic of service academy football supremacy. The Falcons have won the trophy 20 times, which is more than any other academy. The USAFA Cadet Field House is one of the most impressive buildings in the country. It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. The three sections have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000. Clune Arena seats 5,858. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,470, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions. The $4.1-million renovation to the Cadet Track Stadium, the outdoor home of the Air Force track and field team, was completed in the fall of 2011 and is one of the premier track and field facilities in the nation. The Holaday Athletic Center, a $15.5 million completely donor funded indoor training facility, was completed in July 2011. The Cadet Fitness Center, a $9.5 million, Military Construction project, home of the Air Force Academy’s fencing practice facility and aerobics/weight lifting facility that contains a nearly 33-foot climbing wall, opened in May 2012.

the air force song History of the Air Force Song In 1938, Liberty magazine sponsored a contest for a spirited, enduring musical composition to become the official Army Air Corps song. Of 757 scores submitted, Robert Crawford’s was selected by a committee of Air Force wives. The song was officially introduced at the Cleveland Air Races on September 2, 1939. Fittingly, Crawford sang it in its first public performance. The first page of the score, which Crawford submitted to the selection committee in July 1939, was carried to the surface of the moon on July 30, 1971, aboard the Apollo 15 “Falcon” lunar module by Colonel David R. Scott and Lieutenant Colonel James B. Irwin. Interestingly, at the moment the “Falcon” blasted off the surface of the moon with Scott and Irwin on board, a rendition of the “Air Force Song” was broadcast to the world by Major Alfred M. Worden, who had a tape recorder aboard the “Endeavor” command module which was in orbit around the moon. Scott, Irwin and Worden comprised the first and only “All-Air Force” Apollo crew and arranged to take the page of sheet music with them as a tribute to Crawford and the United States Air Force.
Bridge Section: Toast to the Host “A Toast to the Host” is part of the original Air Force Song. Many times this is sung as a separate piece. This is the verse which commemorates those who have fallen in the name of our service and our great country. This is the reason for the difference in melody and the reverent, reflective mood. After every football game, the Drum and Bugle Corps plays “A Toast to the Host” as the football team gathers together on the field, joins hands and stands at attention.

Additional verses: Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder, Sent it high into the blue; Hands of men blasted the world asunder; How they lived God only knew! (God only knew then!)

falcon football pageantry Nothing is more indicative of the pageantry of Air Force football than the Wings of Blue. The U.S. Air Force Academy parachute team, the Wings of Blue, has been one of the outstanding parachute units in the country for more than two decades. Since 1967, cadets have dominated national intercollegiate parachuting championships, typically winning decisively over 40 other schools which field about 125 of the nation’s top college competitors. Additionally, they perform about 50 demonstrations each year for millions of spectators. That doesn’t include jumping into Falcon Stadium before the start of every football game, weather permitting. The Wings of Blue, because of their diverse mission, are divided into a demonstration team and a competition team. Advising and supervising the team is a cadre of active duty and reserve Air Force commissioned and non-commissioned officers. The team jumps from a variety of aircraft. However, the team primarily uses its own DeHavilland UV-18B Twin Otters.
Each cadet member must be a qualified jump-master and instructor in the Air Force Academy parachuting program. They must also maintain high academic and military standards to remain with the team. Members of the team average 600 jumps by the time they graduate. The primary mission of the parachute team is not competing or performing, it’s to train other cadets in free-fall parachuting. Each year, over 1,000 cadets complete five free-fall jumps in the basic free fall parachuting course and earn the coveted parachutist badge and rating. The Academy is the only school in the Air Force authorized to grant these awards and is the only school in the U.S. authorized to allow students to perform unassisted freefall delays on their first jump, without any prior static line training. The basic free-fall program is the premier character development program at the Academy and is available to all cadets. It is designed to develop courage, confidence and discipline in each student and
provide leadership experiences for the cadet instructors who teach the course. It is a rigorous training schedule with heavy emphasis on safety. Before cadets make their first jump, they are drilled repeatedly in ground school on proper parachuting procedures. The repetition is intended to have the jumper respond automatically and correctly should something unexpected occur during the jump. Cadets who successfully complete the basic free fall course are then eligible to take the advanced training necessary to tryout for the Wings of Blue. Those who want advanced training must compete for admission. Selection is based upon an individual’s maturity, abilities, academic and military standing. From its uncertain beginnings, when it was reserved for stuntmen, rugged paratroopers and desperate pilots, parachuting has evolved into an exacting science and demanding sport -- a sport dominated at the college level by the Air Force Academy.
The Flight of Sound The complete experience in sight and sound is presented at every home Falcon football game by the “Flight of Sound,” the U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Drum and Bugle Corps. Since 1948, the Air Force Drum and Bugle Corps has entertained audiences across the nation and abroad with their thrilling performances. The Corps, originally assigned to Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, D.C., was transferred to the Air Force Academy in 1963 and turned over to the Cadet Wing in 1972. Since then, the corps has won 16 of the 24 Interservice Academy Drum and Bugle Corps competitions and are the four-time defending champions. The competition is held annually during the Air Force vs. Navy football weekend. Recognized as one of America’s premier musical and marching units, the Corps exemplifies the precision and musical blend of a well-directed band or orchestra and the showmanship of a Broadway production. Performing on the average of 150 times a year, they have become known as the Academy’s ambassadors of precision drill and musical pageantry. The Corps’ primary mission is to support the Cadet Wing activities, including military formations and Academy athletic contests both home and away. An extension of the mission continues in the community with concerts, field exhibitions, band festivals and various military ceremonies. The “D & B” Corps is comprised of 135 cadets and has represented the Air Force Academy at Presidential Inaugural Parades, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades, The Tournament of Roses Parade, Mardi Gras Parades, The Festival of State in St. Petersburg, Fla., Walt Disney World’s International Music Festival and The Long’s Peak Scottish/Irish Festival.

coaches
head coach troy calhoun clude respect, teamwork, courage, spirit, discipline, honesty and toughness, are the bedrock of the leadership qualities Air Force football players utilize while serving as officers in the United States Air Force. Calhoun and his staff have come up with a way to manage the varied demands of their players and lead them into a cohesive team that has fared quite well both on and off the field in his 10 seasons as head coach. In nine of his 10 years, Air Force has been to a bowl under Calhoun’s guidance. The coach has guided Air Force to a 77-53 career record after 10 seasons.
The purpose of the United States Air Force Academy is to develop young people of strong character who graduate and serve as outstanding leaders on active duty and beyond. It’s a purpose Troy Calhoun thoroughly respects and realizes is necessary for our country. Calhoun left the Houston Texans of the NFL as an offensive coordinator in 2007 to embrace the mission of the Air Force Academy and accomplish what was once considered nearly impossible: building a service academy program that often earns a postseason bid while playing in one of college football’s best conferences. Air Force student-athletes must complete the nation’s most demanding academic curriculum while further embedding the heart and character that are crucial for serving the nation. Cadets at the Academy must work through courses that require finishing over 140 semester hours. Strong character traits, to in-
Calhoun’s players are extraordinarily successful finishing their academic and leadership responsibilities. The Air Force football team’s NCAA APR (Academic Progress Report) is annually amongst the finest at the FBS level of college football. From May 2008 through the present, Air Force Football’s multi-year APR has finished above the nation’s 90th percentile eight of the last 10 years which is more than any sport at any service academy. The football program received a public recognition award by the NCAA this season with a mark of 995 which led the Mountain West. In addition to being one of the nation’s best in regards to the NCAA’s APR and GSR, 99 percent of seniors who have played for Calhoun since 2007 have graduated from the Academy and served as officers for our nation. Calhoun is the first coach in the history of service academy team ball sports to lead teams to a post-season bid six consecutive years. They have done this while playing very strong opponents. Calhoun’s 2009 Air Force squad was the only team in the last 50 years of service academy

football to play at least four ranked teams and win a bowl game in the same season. In the 100-plus year history of service academy football, Calhoun is the first coach to lead teams to at least six wins and a bowl game in each of his first six seasons. Air Force finished 10-3 overall last season, posting just the sixth 10-win season in school history and second under Calhoun. Air Force won the Commanderin-Chief’s Trophy for a record 20th time and earned a trip to the Arizona Bowl. The Falcons beat South Alabama, 45-21, to complete a six-game winning streak to end the season. The six-game streak is the sixth-best nationally entering 2017. Air Force won the Mountain Division championship in 2015 with a 6-2 mark and were 8-6 overall. The Falcons also earned a bid to the 2015 Armed Forces Bowl while extending its school record home winning streak to 12 games, posting a 6-0 home mark for the second straight year. Calhoun was named the 2015 National Football Foundation, Colorado chapter, coach of the year for his efforts. Calhoun’s 2014 team finished 10-3 overall while having all 28 seniors graduate from the Air Force Academy. Calhoun was named as a finalist for the Maxwell National Coach of the Year. The Falcons qualified for their seventh bowl game in eight years, and by winning the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, captured their third bowl championship since 2009. Air Force defeated Army and Navy to win its 19th Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy and its third CINC title in the last five years. The Falcons were also one of just two teams nationally to beat two 10-win teams in the regular season. The Falcons beat Boise State and in-state rival Colorado State, who each won 10-plus games. Air Force’s 10-win season was the first this century for the Academy and just the ninth in the last 100 years of service academy football. The team finished 6-0 at home for just the third time in school history. Calhoun’s 2007 squad also finished 6-0 at home. Air Force earned a bid in 2012 to the Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force won its second straight Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy (then-record 18th overall) in 2011, the first back-to-back titles at the Academy since 2001-02 and earned their fifth straight bowl game in the Military Bowl. The 2010 Air Force team finished 9-4 overall and won Air Force’s 17th Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy championship with wins over Army and Navy.

The 2006 Texans were the last team to defeat the Indianapolis Colts on their way to the Super Bowl championship. On offense, the Texans had the NFL’s leading receiver (Pro Bowler Andre Johnson with 103 catches), the NFL’s best quarterback completion percentage (68.4 percent) and their quarterback tied a NFL record against Buffalo with 22 straight completions. Calhoun became a well-rounded NFL coach, working as a defensive assistant, special teams assistant and offensive assistant with the Denver Broncos from 2003-05. He began his NFL coaching career by serving on the defensive side of the ball in 2003. He helped coach the NFL’s fourth-best defense. The Broncos’ defense ranked seventh against the run and sixth against the pass. Denver’s defense yielded a mere 17.6 points per game as they made the playoffs for the first time since 2000.
The 2009 Air Force team finished 8-5 overall and concluded with a convincing 47-20 win over 25th-ranked Houston in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force set 13 Academy bowl team records in the dominant victory. The team also set six school records during the 2009 season. Calhoun was named Coach of the Year by the Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation for his
efforts. Calhoun’s 2007 and 2008 Air Force teams finished 9-4 and 8-5, respectively, and both earned bowl bids. The 2007 Falcons were the only team in Air Force history to win road games at Notre Dame, Utah and Colorado State in the same season. The five-game turnaround from 2006, in which Air Force was 4-8, was the largest in the nation that season by a first-year head coach. The five-game turnaround was the best in school history since the 1958 team had a school-record turnaround of six games. Air Force’s nine wins tied Calhoun for the most wins ever at a service academy by a first-year head coach, matching the mark set by Ben Martin in 1958. The six MWC wins set a new Academy standard and were two wins better than the previous mark for conference wins by a first-year head coach at the Academy. Calhoun was named the Mountain West Conference’s Coach of the Year for his efforts. In addition, he was named Coach of the Year in Region 5 by the American Football Coaches Association and was one of eight finalists for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award. He was also one of seven finalists for the AFCA National Coach of the Year award. Calhoun brought to Air Force a wealth of experience at the collegiate and professional levels that was flooded with success at every stop prior to the Academy. Calhoun came to the Academy after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Houston Texans in 2006. The Texans were one of only two

jake campbell - assistant offensive backfield Jake Campbell is in his sixth season at Air Force as an offensive backfield assistant coach. Campbell returned to his alma mater after four years at ClaremontMudd-Scripps where he was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2011. He coached running backs his first three seasons. Campbell has been instrumental in the development of running backs Jacobi Owens, who has rushed for 1,000 or more yards in back-to-back seasons and finished his career with over 3,000 yards rushing, and Tim McVey, who enters the 2018 season as the school’s career yards per carry leader with an 8.4 norm. McVey became the first player in school history to have over 100 yards rushing and receiving in the same game which he did vs. New Mexico in 2014. Campbell mentored two offensive MVPs (DJ Lillard, 2010 and Spencer Clark, 2011) at CMS. Lillard was the first running back to make first-team all-SCIAC since 2002 while Clark led the team in all-purpose yards in his senior campaign. Under Campbell’s direction, the offensive unit made its way into the school’s record books. The 2010 team broke the school’s record for points scored in a season with 268 and tied the school record for touchdowns in a season at 36. The 2010 offense also led the conference in rushing, third down conversions,
turnovers, sacks given up, and red zone efficiency, while being second in scoring and time of possession. Peter Kimmey, who took over for the starting role at quarterback midway through the year, rushed for 14 touchdowns in Campbell’s system, one shy of the school record. He led the conference in rushing touchdowns and points per game. Campbell is a 1996 graduate of the Air Force Academy. His on field accomplishments and highlights as a running back make him one of the best to ever play the position at the Academy. He captained the 1995 team that won one of the Academy’s three Western Athletic Conference (WAC) championships in its history. Campbell’s efforts land him in the top five in several areas of the Falcon record book. He is currently third all-time in yards per carry for a season, fourth all-time for a career. He is also third all-time for yards per reception for a season and career touchdown receptions. He put together back-to-back 1,000 plus all-purpose yards his junior and senior years as a running back, receiver and kick returner. Campbell was later named to the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph’s Air Force all-decade team of the 1990’s. Prior to joining the CMS football staff, Campbell served 10 years as an officer in the Air Force, reaching the rank of major. Campbell amassed over 1,000 flying hours as a pilot in the T-37, T-1A, and C-9A airframes. He flew the first stateside C-9A aircraft to deploy overseas in support of military operations in Kosovo. Campbell finished his military career as a contract negotiator. He was responsible for leading negotiating teams with Fortune 500 companies in contracts worth well over $400 million to deploy the widely known and frequently used Global Positioning System (GPS).

backs and quarterbacks, as well as the offensive play-calling duties. While at the Prep School, he helped develop numerous eventual Falcon football stars such as Scott McKay, Qualario Brown, Nate Beard and Chris Jessup. Campbell was also a math instructor and taught calculus. Campbell was also a Nike/SPARQ trainer and the lead running back coach for the Nike Football Training Camps held throughout the country. He has worked with some of the best athletes in the country, many who have gone on to professional and Division I careers. Originally from North Highlands, a neighborhood in Sacramento, Calif., Campbell was a four-sport starter in high school. He lettered in football, basketball, baseball and track. Campbell was also an assistant coach for the twotime defending conference champion CMS Athena softball team. Campbell has a son, Brayden.

Tim Cross - assistant head coach/defensive line Tim Cross begins his fourth season at Air Force as the defensive line coach and first as assistant head coach. Cross came to the Academy after spending three years at Texas where he coached strength and conditioning. Prior to his stint at Texas, Cross served as the associate head coach and defensive line coach at Minnesota. Cross’ impact at the Academy has been immediate. He mentored a defensive line in the revamped defense the last three years. The Falcons improved in scoring, rushing, passing and total defense in 2014, including having one of the nation’s most improved scoring defenses with an average of 24.2 points per game, a nearly 16 points per game improvement. The defense ranked among the conference leaders in each category last year and was led by Ryan Watson, who was a first-team all-conference honoree. Watson led the conference in sacks (.82 per game) and was among the league leaders in tackles for loss (1.00 per game). While at Minnesota, he helped the Gophers to a +.92 turnover margin which ranked second in the Big Ten and No. 16 in the nation in 2008. That same year, his defensive line recorded 20.5 sacks and 44 tackles for loss which ranked in the top three in the conference and in the top 25 nationally in both categories.
Air Force Football
He coached defensive end D.L. Wilhite to Big Ten All-Freshman honors from The Sporting News in 2009 and saw his defensive line rack up 32 tackles for loss in 2009. He also coached defensive end Willie VanDeSteeg to first-team All-Big Ten honors in 2008. VanDeSteeg became the first Gopher defender to be named First-Team All-Big Ten since 2004. Prior to his stint at Minnesota, he coached the defensive line at Syracuse from 2005-06 where he helped the Orange lead the Big East and finish seventh in the nation in turnover margin at +.92. His front line at Syracuse averaged 2.8 sacks per game which was among the nation’s top 20. A big reason for the Orange’s success in getting to opposing quarterbacks was Cross’ work with 2006 Big East sack leader Jameel McClain. Cross also coached NFL Draft selections James Wyche and Ryan LaCasse while at Syracuse. Cross first began working at Texas prior to going to Syracuse, serving as assistant strength coach for the Longhorns from 2001-04. Cross assisted in the development and implementation of the strength and speed programs for the UT football squad. He was responsible for creating training programs for a Doak Walker, a Butkus and a Nagurski Trophy winner. Cross also played a key role in the development of numerous All-Americans and All-Big 12 performers, and his teams won at least nine games each season he coached with the Longhorns. Cross began his coaching career in Colorado at Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver, serving as head coach from 1997-2000. He also spent one season as

steed lobotzke - offensive line Steed Lobotzke enters his third year at Air Force and first as the offensive line coach. Lobotzke coached tight ends his firsts two years at the Academy. Lobotzke’s first season at the Academy saw tight end Garrett Griffin develop into a free-agent signee by the New Orleans Saints. This last season, he developed Ryan Reffitt, who replaced Griffin and posted solid numbers. He finished second on the team with eight catches for 173 yards and two scores. Lobotzke came to the Academy after spending the 2014 season at WinstonSalem State where the Rams made a trip to the CIAA Championship. He spearheaded the Ram offense that recorded eight-straight 400-plus yard games and Winston-Salem State ended the year with a No. 10 national ranking. Prior to WSSU, Lobotzke spent 13 years at Wake Forest, including 11 seasons as the Deacons’ offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. He also coached the running backs, tight ends and fullbacks. During his tenure, the Wake Forest offense broke many school and ACC records. In 2012, junior wide receiver Michael Campanaro caught 7.9 passes per game, which led the ACC and was the second-best mark in ACC history. His 79 receptions in 2012 were the fourthhighest single-season mark for a Wake Forest player and were achieved despite
Air Force Football
the fact that he missed almost three games with an injury. Campanaro’s 16 catches against Boston College set an ACC single-game record. The 2011 team came within a field goal of playing for the ACC championship and went to the Music City Bowl. The squad scored 338 points - third-best in Wake Forest history - and only had 12 turnovers, which was the lowest total in school history and the best in the ACC that season. In 2006, Wake Forest won 11 games and the ACC Championship. The offense produced 4,298 yards, the third-highest total in school history and put up Wake Forest’s fourth-best scoring season with 302 points. Wake Forest also ranked sixth in the nation in fewest turnovers. Freshman quarterback Riley Skinner was named ACC Rookie of the Year after leading the ACC in pass efficiency (139.6) and breaking the Wake Forest record for completion percentage (65.8 percent). On November 13, 2006, Lobotzke was chosen as the Master Football Coaches MCS Nike Offensive Coordinator of the Week after Wake Forest defeated Florida State 30-0 in Tallahassee. Lobotzke went to Wake Forest along with head coach Jim Grobe after serving under Grobe the previous four years at Ohio University as the centers and guards coach. In his four seasons at Ohio, the offensive line paved the way for four of the top five rushing seasons in school history. Lobotzke’s ties with Grobe go back to their days at the Air Force Academy when Grobe personally recruited him. The northern California native attended the Academy and lettered on the football team in 1990-1991, playing on the offensive line. As a player, Lobotzke helped lead Air Force to three Liberty

This season marks his sixth as running backs coach after coaching tight ends for five seasons, and his 10th year coaching the specialists (punters, kickers and snappers). This season is his seventh as the special teams coordinator. Miller’s first four years saw the development of Travis Dekker as one of the best tight ends in school history and one of the best in the Mountain West Conference. Dekker caught 25 passes for 382 yards and two scores, while averaging 15.3 yards per catch, in 2007. His 25 catches were the most by an Air Force tight end since Trent Van Hulzen in 1989. Dekker would later sign a contract with the Green Bay Packers. Miller’s work with the kickers has also been impressive. Senior Ryan Harrison kicked a school-record 24 field goals in 2008, while becoming a semifinalist for the Lou Groza National Placekicker of the Year award. Will Conant ranked among the conference’s top kickers, hitting 11-of-13 field goals and 32-of-33 extra points for 65 points to lead the Falcons in 2013. In 2014, Conant hit 19-of-21 field goals and 45-of-46 PATs to hit the 100-point mark with 102. He also averaged 43.6 yards per punt. He was a Lou Groza

He is the school’s career leader in field goal percentage with an .889 mark, hitting 32 of 36 field goals. He is a perfect 88-of-88 on extra points. His five years working with the running backs was highly successful. He oversaw the progress of first-year starter Cody Getz, who rushed for 1,248 yards which is the seventh most in school history. Getz opened the season with a schoolrecord five straight 100-yard games while hitting the 200-yard mark three times to establish a new school record. Jacobi Owens posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and was among the conference leaders in rushing each year. Owens finished his career ranked fourth in school history with 3,005 yards. Tim McVey established himself last season as well, becoming the first player in school history to have over 100 yards rushing and receiving in a game at New Mexico. McVey is the Air Force career leader in yards per carry with an 8.4 mark in his career. A 2002 Academy graduate, Miller spent the 2006 season as the offensive graduate assistant at the University of Illinois before returning to the Academy.

Steve Russ enters his sixth year at Air Force as the assistant head coach and fourth as the defensive coordinator and defensive backfield coach. Russ was the co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers
Russ’ first season as the lone defensive coordinator was impressive, as he completely revamped the defense and turned it into one of the finest in the conference. Air Force improved in all four major categories that season, including a remarkable 15.8 points per game improvement to 24.2 overall which led the conference and was 72 spots higher in the national rankings (33rd). The Falcons also improved in rushing, passing and total defense, including an over 100 yard improvement in rushing defense to 135.6 yards per game. That improvement went from ranking 119th nationally to 28th, which is a 91 spot improvement. In addition, the defense improved in third down defense from 125th to 36th, quarterback sacks from 114th to 24th, tackles for loss from 129th to 42nd. The defense maintained those lofty numbers the last two seasons, ranking first or second in the conference in seven categories. The unit was No. 10 nationally in rushing and 33rd in total defense in 2016. He also coached defensive back Weston Steelhammer to three first-team all-conference selections, an Academy first, and to a pair of All-American honors in 2016. Steelhammer also earned the East-West Shrine Bowl Pat Tillman Award for leadership and citizenship.
Russ, a 1995 Air Force Academy graduate and four-year football letterman, returned to the Academy from Wake Forest, where he coached since 2008, most recently as the secondary coach. Prior to coaching the secondary in 2011 at Wake Forest, Russ spent his first two seasons working with the tight ends and fullbacks and was the linebackers coach in 2010. He coached at Syracuse for three seasons (2005-07) and spent four seasons as an assistant at Ohio (200104). Russ began his coaching career at Air Force as a graduate assistant strength coach in 1995. While playing at Air Force, Russ earned second-team All-WAC honors in 1994 and was selected to play in both the BlueGray All-Star game and the East-West Shrine game following his senior season. Russ received Air Force’s Brian Bullard Award, which is the program’s highest honor, in 1994 and was a seventh-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos in the 1995 NFL Draft. He is one of just seven players in Air Force history to be drafted in the NFL. Following two years of active service in the military, Russ joined the Broncos and spent four seasons with the team and he was a part of Denver’s 1997 and 1998 Super Bowl Championship teams under the direction of head coach Mike Shanahan and defensive coordinator Greg Robinson. He began his full-time coaching career in 2001, joining the staff at Ohio University as the outside linebackers coach. Former AFA assistant coach Brian Knorr was serving as Ohio’s head coach at the time. Russ became the inside linebackers coach in 2001 and added the responsibility of coordinating special teams in 2004. In 2005, Russ moved to Syracuse as the linebackers coach and became the defensive coordinator prior to the 2007 season.

Mike thiessen - offensive coord./qbs Mike Thiessen is in his 11th season as an assistant coach at the Academy. This season is his fourth as the solo offensive coordinator after four years of sharing the duties, and his third as the quarterbacks coach. Thiessen coached wide receivers for the eight previous seasons. Thiessen helped develop Karson Roberts, who took over the starting quarterback role due to injury and threw for nearly 1,600 yards and 11 touchdowns while rushing for 674 yards and 10 touchdowns. Roberts also earned Armed Forces Bowl team MVP honors. He has also helped develop Nate Romine, who has started games in four seasons at the Academy, and Arion Worthman, who was named the offensive most valuable player in Air Force’s Arizona Bowl victory over South Alabama last season. Thiessen had one of the top receiving corps in school history while coaching the position, overseeing the development of two players that had breakout seasons. Jalen Robinette led the Falcons with 43 catches for 806 yards and four touchdowns. His 806 yards are the most by a Falcon since Jason Brown in 2005. Garrett Brown was second on the team with 36 catches for 535 yards and a teambest six touchdowns.

Thiessen was a key contributor in the development of All-American Chad Hall, the conference offensive player of the year in 2007. Hall caught 50 passes, the sixth most in school history, for 524 yards, while rushing for 1,478 yards, which ranks second all-time in school history. Hall played six seasons in the NFL and earned a Super Bowl appearance with the San Francisco 49ers. Over the last several seasons, Thiessen coached Kevin Fogler, who emerged as a key player in the offense. Fogler led the Falcons in every receiving category in 2009 with 25 catches for 567 yards and five touchdowns. In 2011, Jonathan Warzeka and Zack Kauth each had 31 catches to lead the team. Kauth had 620 receiving yards and five touchdowns while Warzeka had 442 yards and four scores. A two-sport star during his collegiate career, Thiessen was an All-American baseball player as a centerfielder in the spring of 2000 and was the Mountain West Conference football offensive player of the year in the fall of 2000. A twoyear starter at quarterback, Thiessen led the team in rushing and was among the conference leaders in rushing yards and touchdowns in 2000.

nick toth, spurs/nickels Nick Toth (pronounced TOETH) enters his first year at Air Force as the spurs and nickel back coach. Toth comes to the Academy after five years at Fresno State where he coached inside linebackers. In his first four seasons at Fresno State, Toth served as the defensive coordinator while also being the position coach for the inside linebackers. His defense drew 17 All-Mountain West selections and one All-American in safety Phillip Thomas in 2012, a unanimous selection. Thomas was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, won the CFPA Defensive Back Trophy and was the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year after leading the nation with eight interceptions. Free safety Derron Smith earned firstteam All-Mountain West accolades in three-straight seasons under Toth, becoming just the 11th player in school history and just the third defensive player to garner first-team all-conference accolades three times in a career. He finished his career with 15 interceptions, ranking in a tie for second in MW history, and was a 2015 sixth-round draft pick of the Cincinnati Bengals. The turnover department was one that Fresno State had struggled with on the defensive side of the ball before Toth’s arrival. Fresno State had ranked 111th or worse in turnovers gained in each of the six previous seasons and had no more
than 16 turnovers in any of those years. After having only nine turnovers gained in 2011, the year before Toth’s hiring, Fresno State came back in 2012 and recorded the greatest turnover turnaround in the FBS since the turn of the century. Finishing with 35 take-aways in 2012 (ranking fifth in the FBS), the Bulldogs’ differential in turnovers gained in one season under Toth was plus-26. His 2013 defense ranked sixth in the FBS with just over three sacks per game and 40 total on the year and also ranked fourth with 8.2 tackles for a loss per game. Over the 2012 and 2013 seasons, Fresno State and Stanford were the only schools in the country that ranked in the top 10 in sacks both seasons. Prior to Fresno State, Toth coached at Texas A&M where he was the outside linebackers coach while also serving as the Aggies’ special teams coordinator in 2010 and 2011. In his first season with the Aggies, Toth oversaw the development of linebacker Von Miller, who captured the prestigious Butkus Award during an All-American campaign in 2010. Miller went on to be the No. 2 overall pick of the Denver Broncos in the 2011 NFL Draft. In 2011, Toth helped direct the A&M defense that led the nation in sacks with 51. Prior to his two seasons at Texas A&M, Toth was the defensive backs coach and special teams coach at The Citadel in 2009. Toth gained three years of experience working as a defensive coordinator from 2006-08. In 2006, he was the defensive coordinator/defensive backs coach at Mercyhurst (Pa.) college and from 2007-08 he was Ashland (Ohio) University’s defensive coordinator.

ron vanderlinden - inside linebackers Ron Vanderlinden begins his fourth season at Air Force as the inside linebackers coach. Vanderlinden came to the Academy after 13 years at Penn State where he coached linebackers. Vanderlinden’s time at the Academy has been memorable, leading linebacker Jordan Pierce to second-team all-conference honors while leading the Falcons and ranking sixth in the conference in tackles with 119 in 2015. Pierce had 19.5 tackles for loss and 7.0 sacks and registered 10 straight games with a stop behind the line of scrimmage during the season. In addition, Connor Healy was second on the team in tackles with 90 while forcing a team-best two fumbles. Both players were in their first season as full-time starters in 2014. As the most recent linebackers coach for the Nittany Lions, Vanderlinden oversaw the school’s traditional “Linebacker U.” He helped develop a linebacker unit that included All-American 2005 Butkus and 2005/2006 Bednarik award winner Paul Posluszny, a consensus All-American and 2006 All-American and 2007 Bednarik Award winner Dan Connor. He also coached Michael Mauti to first-team all Big Ten and first-team All-American honors in 2012. In addition, he had nine former players on NFL rosters in 2013. In 1997, he was hired as the head coach of the Maryland Terrapins, a team without a bowl game and only one winning

season since 1990. In both the 1999 and 2000 seasons, Maryland narrowly missed achieving a winning season and bowl game bid by losing their finale and ended both years with a 5-6 record. Vanderlinden recorded a 15-29 record. Maryland improved significantly during Vanderlinden’s tenure, winning more games in 1999 than the previous two years combined. His staff also recruited players who would be instrumental in the team’s meteoric rise in 2001 to an ACC championship, a Bowl Championship Series game, and a top-10 final ranking. Some of these players included linebacker E.J. Henderson, quarterback Shaun Hill, and wide receiver Guilian Gary. Also during Vanderlinden’s tenure, running back Lamont Jordan set the school record for single-game rushing with 306 yards. Vanderlinden’s 39-year coaching career began in 1978, as a graduate assistant at Bowling Green, where he also earned a master’s degree in 1979. He also coached as a graduate assistant at Michigan. His first full-time coaching position was with Ball State in 1981-82. From 1983 to 1991, he was a defensive assistant at Colorado under head coach Bill McCartney. During that timeframe, Colorado won the 1990 National Championship and three straight Big 8 championships. From 1992 to 1996, Vanderlinden served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Northwestern. There he played a part in the reversal of fortunes of a struggling football program into a two-time Big Ten champion. Northwestern led the nation in scoring defense in 1995 and played in the its first Rose Bowl since 1936. Vanderlinden is a 1978 graduate of Albion College where he played football as a four-year starting center. He was named all-conference two years and was part of the 1976 team that achieved a perfect 9–0 record. Both the 1976 and 1977

mountain west conference spectively in 2005). With UNLV’s Anthony Bennett claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Mountain West is one of three conferences to have multiple No. 1 NBA draft selections since 2000. Also, with San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg earning the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MW was founded in 1999.
THIS IS THE MOUNTAIN WEST From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 18th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. The Mountain West has marked several achievements during its first 17 years, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports television network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the first to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. In the inaugural year of the new College Football Playoff system, Boise State earned the automatic slot into a New Year’s Six bowl game as the highestranked champion from the Group of Five 5 conferences. The Broncos defeated then 10th-ranked Arizona 38-30 in the VIZIO Fiesta Bowl. In 2011-12, the Mountain West was among the first conferences to implement a league-wide state-of-the-art basketball instant replay system.

San Diego State President Elliot Hirshman currently sits on the DI Board of Directors, while MW Commissioner Craig Thompson and New Mexico Director of Athletics Paul Krebs are members of the DI Council. Kendall Spencer, the former chair of the DI Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and UNM track & field athlete, was the first student-athlete in the history of the organization to serve on the Division I Board.

The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders five MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico and Utah State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, respectively, while Fresno State, San Diego State and San Jose State add a West coast influence with their locations in Central, Southern and Northern California. The inclusion of the Hawai‘i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean, while the addition of the women’s soccer program at Colorado College gives the MW an additional presence in the Rocky Mountains.
Changes in the NCAA governance structure set the table for another Conference first, when two members of the MW Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) were included in the June 2014 meeting of the Mountain West Board of Directors. New Mexico track and field athlete Kendall Spencer, the national chair of the 2014-15 NCAA Division I StudentAthlete Advisory Committee, and Air Force Academy volleyball player Emma Dridge joined the BOD members in this historic meeting to advance the discussion on student-athlete involvement in the NCAA and MW governance structure. During the last two academic years, MW student-athletes participated on monthly membership calls and have joined MW administrators in the annual Joint Council Spring Meetings in Arizona. The Mountain West is well-represented within the new NCAA governance structure, including individuals who were appointed to serve on committees tasked Air Force Football

MW COMMISSIONER CRAIG THOMPSON Craig Thompson was the Mountain West Conference’s first employee when he was named Commissioner on Oct. 15, 1998. Ever since, Thompson has navigated the Conference through the ever-changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics. As the league enters its 19th season of competition in 2017-18, Thompson continues to create and improve the opportunities for Mountain West institutions and student-athletes to be successful both academically and athletically. Since the Mountain West opened its doors on January 4, 1999, Thompson has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW has flourished under the guidance of Commissioner Thompson and continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. He has been instrumental in negotiating nearly $300 million in television revenue and has been an innovator in the postseason bowl structure as MW teams have participated in six inaugural bowl games. As conference realignment spread throughout the collegiate landscape, Thompson positioned the Mountain West for the future with the additions of Fresno State and the University of Nevada on July 1, 2012, and San José State University and Utah State University on July 1, 2013. The University of Hawai‘i also joined the league as a football-only member on July 1, 2012, while Colorado College became a member in women’s soccer on July 1, 2014. Thompson’s leadership and vision have helped the conference enhance its television revenue and exposure through revolutionary agreements with CBS Sports Network and ESPN, and becoming the first major collegiate athletic conference to launch a dedicated sports channel featuring exclusive programming around its athletic programs, as well as conference news. In the summer of 2006, the centerpiece of this historic relationship was realized with the launch of The Mtn. – MountainWest Sports Network – the first sports network dedicated to serving a single collegiate athletic conference. The Mountain West was also one of the first conferences to develop its own digital network. The Mountain West Network, powered by Campus Insiders, continues to expand and enhance the league’s profile through live-event streaming and on-demand content. Thompson has been instrumental in strengthening the position of the Mountain West in the college football landscape both in the previous Bowl Championship Series (BCS) format and in the current College Football Playoff (CFP) structure. In 2006, he spearheaded an effort that resulted in better access for the MW and more than doubled the annual BCS revenue on an annual basis for non-automatic-qualifying conferences. The MW has been steadfast in its efforts to find a way to make the collegiate postseason football system fair for all universities. Through its first 17 years of competition, the Mountain West has participated in 76 bowl games, amassing a 42-35 (.545) all-time record in those contests.
College Football Officiating Board of Managers, LLC. He also has served on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee (1995-2000) and was appointed Chair of the committee in July 1999, completing his term September 1, 2000. Over the tenure of his career, Thompson has been a member of the Executive Committee and the Director’s Cup Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), as well as the governing NCAA Council and various Council subcommittees. He has also played a prominent role in hosting numerous men’s and women’s NCAA postseason basketball tournaments in St. Louis, Atlanta, New Orleans and Denver. Prior to his current role, Thompson served as the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference for nearly eight years and as the only commissioner of the American South Conference prior to the merger of the two leagues in 1991. During his eight years at the Sun Belt, he spent the majority of his time addressing national trends and challenges in intercollegiate athletics, television exposure, issues relating to conference membership and promoting corporate involvement. In 1997-98, the Sun Belt instituted a comprehensive sportsmanship policy, which earned Thompson designation as a 1998 Sports Ethics Fellow by the Institute for International Sport. Under Thompson’s leadership, the Sun Belt was active in expansion as it continued to strengthen its posture nationally, adding Florida International University and the University of Denver. Prior to its merger with the Sun Belt, Thompson served as the first and only commissioner of the American South Conference, which boasted an NCAA national champion in women’s basketball during its first year. The American South also gained immediate national cable television exposure on ESPN and sent numerous teams into NCAA postseason play during the conference’s four-year history. Preceding his move to commissioner, Thompson served four years as the Director of Communications for the Metro Conference in Atlanta. While at the Metro, he directed the communications operations and administered conference championship events. Thompson originated the Metro Conference Sportswriters and Broadcasters Association, began a weekly radio program with over 300 affiliate stations, and originated a weekly satellite video program involving all Metro institutions. He also took on administrative duties such as coordination of officials, scheduling of tournament and regular-season play, and handling of legislative rules interpretations. Thompson graduated from the University of Minnesota with an undergraduate degree in journalism. Following graduation, he spent two years as assistant sports information director at Kansas State University, earning numerous CoSIDA publication awards. He then spent three years as director of public relations and promotions for the NBA’s Kansas City Kings. Thompson and his wife, Carla, have a son (Ted) and a daughter (Emma).
Thompson is an integral part of the national landscape in intercollegiate athletics, holding many prestigious NCAA posts. He currently sits on the NCAA Division I Council and CFB Management Committee. In addition, Thompson is a member of the Air Force Football

college football hall of fame Four former Falcons have reached the pinnacle of their sport by getting inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Brock Strom, a 1959 Academy graduate, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1985. Strom was a consensus All-American in 1958 and the captain of Air Force’s only undefeated team in school history. He played an instrumental role in the 1958 team that finished 9-0-2 and played in the Cotton Bowl. Chad Hennings, a 1988 Academy graduate, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006. A unanimous first-team All-America selection in 1987, Hennings received the Outland Trophy as the nation’s top interior lineman. A two-time first-team all-conference selection, he is a member of the Western Athletic Conference all-time team and was named WAC defensive player of the decade for the 1980s. He is a two-time first-team Academic All-American and is also a member of the Academic All-America Hall of Fame. Although he was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1988 NFL Draft, Hennings fulfilled a four-year military commitment, serving during the first Gulf War. In 1992, he rejoined the Cowboys and embarked on a nine-year NFL career that brought him three Super Bowl titles. Long-time coach Fisher DeBerry was inducted in 2011, the first year he was eligible to be on the ballot. DeBerry served as head coach at Air Force for a brilliant 23-year career which concluded with his retirement on Dec. 15, 2006. He led 17 of his 23 teams to winning records and 12 captured a bowl bid, posting a 6-6 record. His career record of 169-109-1 is the best in school history in terms of games won and winning percentage. He coached the Falcons to three conference championships. The team won a share of the Western Athletic Conference championship in 1985, his second season, and again in 1995. In 1998, DeBerry guided the team to its first outright title with the WAC Mountain Division championship and a win over Brigham Young in the title game in Las Vegas. He was named WAC Coach of the Year for the third time in his career. The 1998 team’s 12-1 record completed the first back-to-back 10-win seasons in school history following a 10-3 campaign the previous year. The 1998 squad finished the season ranked 10th nationally. His Falcons dominated the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy series with archrivals Army and Navy. Air Force won the trophy 14 times and shared it once in DeBerry’s tenure. He compiled a remarkable 35-11 record against the Black Knights and Midshipmen and is the winningest coach in service academy history. Scott Thomas, a 1986 graduate, joined the group as part of the class of 2012. Thomas was a consensus All-American in 1985 while leading the Falcons to a school-best 12-1 record, a No. 5 national ranking and victory over Texas in the Bluebonnet Bowl. He led the team in interceptions with six that season and became just the seventh player in NCAA history at the time to have a kickoff, punt and interception return for a touchdown in the same season. Former Air Force coach, L.T. “Buck” Shaw was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972. Shaw coached the Falcons in 1956 and 1957. Shaw is most known for his seven stellar seasons at Santa Clara, but also coached at North Carolina State, Nevada and California, as well as two stops in the NFL with San Francisco and Philadelphia.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Air Force could not get its usually reliable triple option rolling. South Alabama’s defenders clogged the inside lanes and used their speed to keep the Falcons from getting to the edge. Air Force countered by going to the air, something it rarely does. Arion Worthman threw for 207 yards to balance out Air Force’s run-heavy offense, Jacobi Owens scored two touchdowns and the Falcons overcame a sluggish start to beat South Alabama 45-21 in Arizona Bowl on Friday. ‘’They really were committed to the run and force us to throw,’’ said Worthman, who also had 71 yards on 21 carries. ‘’We were able to hit some passes early and throughout the entire game.’’ Air Force (10-3) struggled to get its triple-option going, falling into an 18-point first-half hole. Once the Falcons got rolling, they couldn’t be stopped, scoring 42 straight points to turn it into a rout. Worthman was the trigger, jump-starting Air Force’s option while completing 7 of 10 passes, including a 75-yard touchdown to Jalen Robinette to open the second half. The surprise contribution from Worthman - he had 339 total yards entering Friday - caught the Jaguars off-guard and opened up the run game a little more for the Falcons. ‘’They did some things in the passing game that we didn’t see coming into the game,’’ South Alabama linebacker Darrell Songy said. ‘’We just needed to adjust better during the game.’’ South Alabama (6-7) appeared to be headed toward its first bowl win after jumping on the Falcons early, starting with Dallas Davis’ 75-yard touchdown pass to Josh Magee on the game’s first play. The Jaguars couldn’t sustain their early offensive success or stop the Falcons to lose a bowl game for the second time in three seasons. Davis threw for 245 yards and a touchdown, but also had an interception and lost a fumble. Magee had five catches for 154 yards. ‘’I told the kids in the locker room that we’ve been a Division I program for four years and we’re not where you want to be yet,’’ South Alabama coach Joey Jones said ‘’But they pushed the cart way up the hill today.’’ South Alabama landed the first blows by hitting a few long passes. Davis followed his opening TD throwing by hitting Chris Lewis on a 51-yard pass to set up Dami Ayoola’s 2-yard TD run. Davis next found Magee on a 37-yard pass, then scored himself on a 4-yard run that put the Jaguars up 21-3. South Alabama also seemed to have the combination for stopping Air Force’s tricky tripleoption, the Falcons to a pair of field goals into the second quarter. ‘’They shocked us to a degree,’’ Air Force coach Troy Calhoun said. ‘’No matter how well you try to prepare, their speed in the open field and their defensive front knocked us on our heels a little, too.’’ Air Force finally unlocked its option late in the half after hitting a couple of mid-range passes. Ronald Cleveland scored on 14-yard run , then Owens on a 2-yard run after Santo Coppola returned Davis’ fumble to 1-yard line. Once down 21-3, Air Force found itself at halftime after converting the 2-point conversion . The Falcons took their first lead by doing exactly what South Alabama did to open the game: a 75-yard TD pass on the first play of the second half, from Worthman to Robinette. Tyler Williams later took a pitch left to the pylon for a 6-yard TD and Owens scored on a 22yard run to put Air Force up 45-21, well on its way to ending the season with a victory. THE TAKEAWAY Air Force is typically dominant running team, but had a nice balance in the Arizona Bowl to win 10 games for the second time in three seasons.
