West : Air Force Beats Colorado State On the Ground

Running back Greg Johnson scored 2 touchdowns and fullback Andy Smith ran 66 yards for another as Air Force beat Colorado State for the sixth straight time, 29-23, in a Western Athletic Conference game Saturday at Fort Collins, Colo.

Air Force failed to complete a pass, but generated 356 yards on the ground.

Johnson’s second score, a 10-yard run early in the fourth quarter, gave the Falcons a seemingly comfortable 29-10 advantage. But Colorado State rallied behind a pair of Scooter Molander touchdown passes to pul within six, 29-23. The Rams got one more possession in the closing minutes, but gave up the ball on downs deep in their own territory with 1:24 left.
