Air Force guaranteed itself a winning record for the third time in Troy Calhoun’s three seasons with a dominating performance against the Rebels.

The Falcons gained 557 yards and limited the Rebels to 282 to win for the third week in a row and improve to 7-4 and 5-2 in the Mountain West Conference. UNLV fell to 4-7 and 2-5.

Air Force sophomore tailback Asher Clark rushed for a career-high 180 yards and a career-high three touchdowns, and sophomore Tim Jefferson completed 8-of-13 passes for 126 yards.

After getting stuffed on a fourth-and-1 near midfield on the game’s first possession, the Falcons scored the next four times they had the ball – three times driving 80 or more yards for touchdowns – and went to halftime with a 24-3 advantage. UNLV scored mid-way through the third quarter to pull within to touchdowns, but Air Force responded with a nine-play, 72-yard drive capped by Nathan Walker’s 2-yard run.
