Colorado Springs, Colo. (AP) — Kemper Hodges dominated the ground game for Air Force, accumulating 200 yards and scoring four touchdowns, as the Falcons edged Connecticut 35-26 in a Saturday game. The Connecticut Huskies (6-2) relied solely on their pass offense, yet they failed to complete a single pass during the match, instead racking up 366 rushing yards and five touchdowns.
Connecticut (4-4) pulled within a two-point margin, 28-26, in the fourth quarter after Kalieb Osborne connected with Alex Godavitarne on a 55-yard touchdown pass and Kenji Christian breaking free for a 46-yard scoring run. However, Air Force swiftly countered, dominating the clock and never relinquishing the lead. Hodges sealed the victory with a one-yard touchdown run with just three minutes left on the clock.
Hodges also scored on 3, 7, and 62-yard runs during the first half, extending Air Force's halftime lead to 21-14. Gage LaDue added a 4-yard touchdown run for the Huskies in the third quarter, marking his first career scoring run. Osborne completed 263 yards and two touchdowns through the air for Connecticut, while Christian led the Huskies with 68 yards on the ground, and Godavitarne added a 55-yard touchdown reception.
