AIR FORCE PLAYER OF THE GAME
Cade Harris, sr., slot receiver
Harris gave the Falcons their best individual offensive performance of the season, running for 71 yards on eight carries.
He had a long run of 26 yards, which is the Falcons’ longest gain of the season.
“I thought compared to the last couple of games we definitely came out and executed better,” Harris said. “There were still a few things here and there, but overall I felt a lot better about our offense in the first half and how we were playing and how physical we were and how we were executing.”
WHAT I WATCHED
The Gazette’s Brent Briggeman follows up on items of intrigue he identified prior to the game.
Air Force’s offense
There were certainly positives, particularly when considering the lack of production in first two games. The Falcons had a season-high in rushing yards by halftime and had three drives of 10 or more plays in the first half. But the drives didn’t produce the points needed to help the team capitalize on a first half. Penalties proved costly on two of the drives. The offense never got going after halftime.
