AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) — Cody Getz had 222 of Air Force’s 459 yards rushing to lead the Falcons to a 42-21 win over in-state rival Colorado State on Saturday.
Getz’s career-high mark made him the first player in Air Force history to begin a season with four consecutive 100-yard rushing games and the first with two 200-yard games in the same season since Chad Hall in 2007. The Falcons (2-2, 1-1 Mountain West) defeated the Rams (1-4, 0-1) for the seventh straight year.
Connor Dietz threw two touchdowns for Air Force, the nation’s No. 2 rushing team entering the game. Five players scored for the Falcons, with Ty MacArthur finding the end zone twice.
M.J. McPeek threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns for Colorado State after coming on in relief of starting quarterback Garrett Grayson, who left the game with an injured left shoulder late in the first quarter.
