Air Force - v - Colorado
Posted: Sat Sep 10, 2022 6:52 pm

So, if you fumble the ball 4 times, and your opponents recover it 3 of though times, what do you do ..?
Win the game!
If you are the Air Force.
There is 2:57 left in the 4th Quarter, and the Falcons are up 41 - 10.
It's a rainy miserable day, in Colorado Springs. Ball is wet and slippery.
But still, the team who lost the turnover battle, controlled the pace of the game.
4th and 7 ... Colorado punts.
That's a concession.
The last time this game was played on Air Force's field, was October 5th, 1974. The day I was born.
Colorado won that game 28-27
As I watch Air Force take a knee to finish out the win ... I think about how far these schools have come, gone, and back again in the time I've been alive.
I would say, if I were the Big XII, I'd consider extending an invite to the Air Force Academy as a potential expansion.
