<p>Falcons move to 2-0 with win over Wyoming</p>

<p>By JAKE SCHALLER</p>

<p>LARAMIE, Wyo. • In a game decided by defense, Air Force’s was downright dominant.</p>

<p>In front of an announced crowd of 23,168 at War Memorial Stadium, the Falcons limited Wyoming to only 216 yards of offense and forced five turnovers — three of which led to scores — to key a 23-3 victory over the Cowboys.</p>

<p>In the Mountain West Conference opener for both teams, the Falcons improved to 2-0. Wyoming, which has dropped three straight to Air Force, fell to 1-1.</p>

<p>“Our defense played very, very hard,” Wyoming coach Joe Glenn said. “Air Force’s defense was just too hard for us.”</p>

<p>Air Force’s defense also took pressure off the Falcons’ offense, which contributed to the victory mostly by avoiding mistakes — it committed one turnover — and making just enough plays.</p>

<p>Interesting fact: Wyoming is the only D-1 school in the country whose football stadium is at a higher elevation than ours. That being said, pretty nice game all around.</p>

<p>LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) -- A defense that forced five turnovers, a superb kicking game and one long run proved to be a winning combination for Air Force.</p>

<p>Kyle Halderman's 74-yard run set up quarterback Shea Smith's 1-yard touchdown run and Ryan Harrison kicked three field goals to lead Air Force over error-prone Wyoming 23-3 on Saturday.</p>

<p>Harrison was pretty cool. He was a cadre member for Charlie squad here at the prep school during BMT.</p>

<p>He did a heck of a job at the Parent's weekend game too.</p>

<p>starvin....and others who may not know........"CBS C" is the new name of the old CSTV (College Sports Network) and usually, if you have cable, requires you to subscribe to a version of the cable packages where you can get this viewing. I subscribe for the season and cancel at the end of the season so we can get the Falcons games when they are broadcast on that network! GO FALCONS!!!!!!!</p>
