FAULCONER TALK
"We have responded well with a good week of training coming off our first setback of the season versus Florida Atlantic.  Air Force is off to a great start at 3-1-1 and we have seen some things on film that they do very well. They have several freshmen that are making an impact and are contributing in a big way to their early success. I know our team is looking forward to finally playing at home and the challenge of playing another strong opponent in preparation for conference play." -- Head coach Eric Faulconer
