Overview
- Air Force opened the season with a 34-0 shutout of Duquesne at Falcon Stadium, relying on long, clock-consuming drives to dominate possession.
- The Falcons rushed for 431 yards on 71 carries with 17 players contributing and Liam Szarka scoring two rushing touchdowns.
- Rocco Conti (74 yards) and Kemper Hodges (72 yards) led the ground attack while Szarka completed 3 of 5 passes for 19 yards.
- Air Force's defense held Duquesne to 107 total yards, forced two first-half interceptions by Max Mustell and Korey Johnson, and never allowed the Dukes into the red zone.
- The win keeps Air Force's unbeaten record versus FCS opponents intact and preserves its season-opening streak as the team turns to a home game with North Dakota State next week.
