Overview
- Air Force, which beat UNLV on Saturday, piled up 430 rushing yards while throwing just three times to claim a 41-31 victory at Falcon Stadium.
- Quarterback Evan Medders carried the attack, rushing for 152 yards and three touchdowns and taking over the starter’s role after Liam Szarka’s season-ending leg injury.
- UNLV held a 17-13 lead at halftime but could not stop Air Force’s sustained option drives, and the Rebels’ recent defensive momentum did not prevent a decisive fourth-quarter collapse.
- The Falcons maintained their long ball-security streak with no fumbles reported and used the home altitude and disciplined gap-based execution to wear down UNLV.
- The loss drops UNLV to 4-3 (2-1 Mountain West) and hands Air Force a 5-1 (3-1) mark, with UNLV off next week and Air Force slated to visit Wyoming in its next conference game.
