The team is wearing the Air Force patch to honor the men and women of the U.S. Air Force. The team is also honoring 10 of the Air Force s Heritage Wings and Groups by wearing patches on their home uniforms; and six USAF Air and Space Expeditionary Wings by wearing patches on their away uniforms for the fifth straight year. The Heritage Wings and Groups date back to the foundations of the Air Force, beginning on Aug. 1, 1907, when the U.S. Army Signal Corps established a small Aeronautical Division to take charge of all matters pertaining to military ballooning, air machines and all kindred subjects. But, it was not until May 26, 1909, that military aviation was born, when Lts. Frank P. Lahm and Benjamin D. Foulois made their first ascent and qualified as the airship s first Army pilots. The National Security Act of 1947 created a separate Department of the Air Force, headed by a Secretary of the Air Force; from that law, today s Air Force was officially born on Sept. 18, The 10 patches represent active duty units that have colorful and distinguished histories. These heritage units not only represent the legacy of the Air Force past, but also the promise of its future. Each Air Force mission and capability is represented with this cross-section of units. The Air and Space Expeditionary Force concept is the Air Force s vision for the 21st century to organize, train, equip and deploy forces for contingency operations while remaining ready to meet national crises. AEF also helps create a mindset and culture that embraces the unique characteristics of air and space power - range, speed, flexibility and precision. Military personnel that are deployed become a part of one of these six wings. Heritage wing/groups: 8th Fighter Wing - Kunsan AB, Korea 31st Fighter Wing - Aviano AB, Italy 3rd Wing - Elmendorf AFB, Alaska 14th Flying Training Wing - Columbus AFB, Miss. 2nd Bomb Wing - located around the world 19th Air Refueling Group - Little Rock AFB, Ark. 9th Reconnaissance Wing - Beale AFB, Calif. 341st Space Wing - Malmstrom AFB, Mont. 1st Special Operations Wing - Hurlburt Field, Fla. 315th Airlift Wing - Charleston AFB, S.C.

After starting the season as the No. 3 quarterback and moving up to No. 2 after an injury to Kale Pearson, Roberts moved into the top spot after Jaleel Awini was deemed no longer a cadet in good standing. Roberts responded with career highs of 161 yards rushing and two touchdowns on a career-most 23 carries. He also completed five-of-10 passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. His rushing yards, touchdowns and carries all either are the most or tie as the most by a Falcon this season.

He has led the Falcons in tackles five times this season and has five 10-plus tackle games. Nichol notched four straight 10-plus tackle games with career-best 13 tackles vs. Utah State, 10 at Boise State, 12 vs. Wyoming and 11 at Nevada. He also led the team with 11 vs. San Diego State. The junior first-time starter has registered at least one tackle for loss in six games this season, including a career-best 2.0 vs. San Diego State. He leads the team with 7.5 tackles for loss on the season. Nichol had seven tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass breakup last week vs. Notre Dame. FULLBACK BROAM HART: Junior fullback Broam Hart continues the tradition of strong fullback play in Air Force s running offense. Hart leads the team in rushing with 408 yards and three touchdowns on 94 carries. He is averaging 4.3 yards per carry. Hart had his best day as a Falcon in the season opener, recording career highs of 101 yards and two touchdowns on a career-most 18 carries. His 100-yard effort is the first of his career. Hart rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries at Nevada, averaging 6.8 yards per carry. JUNIOR PK WILL CONANT: Junior Will Conant is off to a great start in his career as Air Force s starting kicker. Conant has hit all 19 of his PATs and 10-of-12 field goal attempts. He had had a very successful debut game vs. Colgate, hitting all four PATs and nailed his first-career field goal attempt, a 52-yard boot. Conant is just the 11th kicker in school history to hit a field goal of 50-plus yards. The 52-yard effort is the longest by a Falcon since Ryan Harrison vs. Army in Conant became just the sixth player in school history and first Harrison in 2007 to have two field goals of 50-plus yards in a season when he connected on another 52 yard field goal vs. San Diego State. In addition the 52-yarder, Conant also hit from 48 yards vs. San Diego State. He nailed a 47 yard field goal vs. Notre Dame. His last four field goals have come from 45, 48, 52 and 47 yards. Conant is fourth in the conference in field goals with a 1.25 average. He is fourth in field goal percentage with a 83.3 mark and is tied for first in PAT kicking with a perfect mark. GREEN MAKES SUCCESSFUL DEBUT: Junior nose guard Robert Green had a successful debut to the 2013 season last week vs. Notre Dame. He recorded two unassisted tackles and a tackle for loss for one yard. Green also blocked a field goal attempt to end Notre Dame s opening drive. The Falcons scored on the next possession to take a 7-0 lead. Green had been slated as the starter at nose guard in the preseason before an injured knee sidelined him for the first seven games of the season. 100-Yard Rushers Under Calhoun Air Force is 1-3 this season and overall under Troy Calhoun (since 2007) when it has a 100-yard rusher W Kip McCarthy vs. So.

12 Head Coach Troy Calhoun The Air Force Academy s purpose is to develop young people of strong character who graduate and serve as outstanding leaders for our country. Air Force student-athletes must complete one of the nation s most demanding academic curriculums while further embedding the kind of heart and character that are a crucial foundation for service. It s a purpose Troy Calhoun thoroughly respects and appreciates. While embracing the mission of the Academy, Calhoun has also found a way to build a very competitive football program within one of college football s strongest conferences. Calhoun is the only coach in the 100-plus year history of service academy football to lead teams to at least seven wins and a bowl game in each of his first five seasons. Calhoun was a semifinalist for the National Coach of the Year award for his efforts on and off the field. His players have also been amazingly successful finishing their academic and leadership responsibilities. The Air Force football team s most recent NCAA APR is an astounding 974 which once again places the Academy amongst the nation s best in the sport of football. Calhoun, who is in his seventh season, has also lifted the Falcon football program to unprecedented heights within the Mountain West Conference. Calhoun is after taking over a program that had posted three straight losing seasons before his arrival. They have posted wins at Notre Dame and Utah and led the Falcons to a school-record six straight bowl games. In Mountain West Conference play Calhoun is Air Force finished the 2007 season 9-4 overall and placed second in the Mountain West Conference with a 6-2 mark in Calhoun s first year. The Falcons earned their first bowl bid in five seasons, advancing to the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas. The five-game turnaround from the previous season, was the largest in the nation by a first-year head coach and tied as the third-largest overall in the nation. The five-game turnaround is the best in school history since the 1958 team had a school-record turnaround of six games. Calhoun was named the conference s coach of the year for his efforts. In addition, he was named coach of the year in Region 5 by the American Football Coaches Association and was one of eight finalists for national coach of the year honors.
