WHAT BAD WEATHER?

The temperature was 27 degrees, with a wind-chill factor of zero, and the snow that fell during the game was blown everywhere by winds of up to 25 m.p.h. at Air Force Academy, Colo.

Detmer extended his NCAA record of consecutive 300-yard passing games to 20 and tied the record of 22 consecutive 200-plus games set by BYU’s Steve Young in 1983.
