Howell: CU-Air Force series good for area football fans

After fielding an Air Force punt, Colorado's Dave Logan weaved his way through the Falcons, sprinting 52 yards to the end zone.

Logan's big play was only part of a relatively easy 38-17 CU win on Oct. 13, 1973.

Relative, because nothing's ever easy about facing Air Force.

"Honestly back then they were as they are now," Logan said. "When you would ask a common fan, what do you think Air Force football is like now, their answers, you could just plug into what they were like back then. Very disciplined, very tough physically, didn't make a lot of mistakes.
