The Cowboys would find their first win of the season in their Mountain West conference opener, taking down the Air Force Falcons by a score of 31-19 on the Pokes’ 99th homecoming game.
The Falcons would open with the first offensive possession, but wouldn’t be able to make it past midfield as the Cowboy defense would stand tall. They’d even attempt to convert a 4th and 3 from their own 44, but would come up a yard short, allowing the Cowboys to set up shop in plus territory.
Running back Sam Scott would instantly go to work, breaking off a 17 yard run on the first play from scrimmage.
