June 19 A truce begins between Hamas and Israel

It was the first time the Falcons offense scored a touchdown since the third quarter of the Sept. Dietz ripped off a run of 19 yards, Savier Stephens had a 12-yard carry, Asher Clark had a 29-yard burst and freshman receiver Mikel Hunter ran 36 yards on an end-around.They were better, Calhoun said of his offensive players And yet, I didnt think so in the first quarter. I think theres a perfect case in point where the parts are there, but the way that you have to operate and execute all 11 guys, unity-wise, the executions got to be better.-While you wouldnt have confused Air Force with Boise State as far as play-calling, Calhoun definitely opened it up a bit. It was one of those where Morris was ran down the field, then turned and was coming back the other way and he was set up perfectly for a big shot by Thompson, who was setting up TCUs wall.Morris was down on the field for several minutes, and a stretcher was brought out for him before he got up and left the field under his own power.I dont think its a concussion, I think it was a lights out, Calhoun said. At first, you just thought, Gosh, is he OK It was a NyQuil shot.-To me, Air Forces biggest games of the season now are next weeks game against Wyoming and its Oct. 31 game at Colorado State.An upset of Utah, which clearly is down from last season, or even BYU is within the realm of possibility.

But far more importantthan pulling an upset is making sure no ground is lost.Air Force has kind of established a beachhead as the top team outside the MWCs Big Three of TCU, Utah and BYU And the Falcons cant afford to lose it..
