Senior running back Jasen Oden rushed for 89 yards and two touchdowns and senior receiver Joe Hansley caught two scoring passes for the Rams (3-4, 1-2). Senior tight end Steven Walker also caught a touchdown pass as Colorado State totaled 456 yards and converted 10-of-15 third-down opportunities.

Junior running backs Shayne Davern and Jacobi Owens and sophomore running back Benton Washington each rushed for a touchdown for the Falcons (3-3, 2-1). Air Force accumulated 269 of its 406 total yards on the ground while dropping out of a tie for first place in the Mountain Division of the Mountain West.

The Rams scored a late first-half touchdown to start a string of 24 consecutive points to open a 38-13 lead. Oden scored on third-quarter runs of 6 and 4 yards and redshirt freshman kicker Wyatt Bryan booted a 22-yard field goal with 13:29 left in the game.

The Falcons scored 10 straight fourth-quarter points and pulled within 38-23 on Washington's 2-yard run with 4:22 left. But they could get no closer as senior quarterback Karson Roberts was 9-of-15 passing for 104 yards and one interception.

Stevens threw three first-half touchdown passes, beginning with a 23-yarder to Walker with 6:51 left in the first quarter. The Falcons answered just 1:27 later on Davern's 60-yard scoring run, but the point-after attempt was no good.

Stevens connected with Hansley on a 16-yard scoring pass to give the Rams a 14-6 lead with 3:03 remaining in the first quarter. Air Force again pulled within one on Owens' 12-yard scamper with 3:18 left in the half before Stevens hit Hansley on a 44-yard scoring strike with 43 seconds to play for a 21-13 halftime lead.
