If you were to describe the Colorado State – Air Force game in one word, it should be ‘snowball’. Yes, there was precipitation, and the student section for CSU you had a little too much fun with it, lobbing snowballs on the field and at the Air Force bench, causing a 15-yard penalty at one point.
But ‘snowball’ is a microcosm of what happened to the Rams. Air Force just kept gaining momentum offensively and defensively as the game wore on. Ultimately, the defense kept CSU completely in check the entire second half. Outside of a 13 point second quarter counter-punch by CSU, Jay Norvell’s squad really had no answers. The result was a clear establishment of the class of the state of Colorado.

Braden Fowler-Nicolosi threw for nearly 300 yards, but this is why you can’t rely on a stat line to tell the story. The game went to halftime tied, but was one sided affair as the Falcons rushing attack got churning and their defense sheered the sheep. Air Force keeps the Ram-Falcon Trophy for the seventh year in a row, winning 30-13 in Fort Collins.
Next up for Air Force is Army. This is their biggest game of the season as they will play at Mile High Field in Denver for the right to retain the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy.
Colorado State has a rivalry match of their own, as they head North to take on Wyoming in Laramie.
