Early in the second quarter against Navy, Associated Press No. 22 Air Force (6-0) scored a 94-yard touchdown when quarterback Zac Larrier connected with wide receiver Dane Kinamon.
The Falcons are the highest-ranked Group of Five program and have the inside track to a New Year's Six bowl appearance. They lead the country in rushing offense (334.2 yards per game) and have one of the most efficient passing attacks.
Entering Week 8, Larrier was 20-of-28 for 468 yards (16.7 yards per attempt) and four touchdowns. At halftime against the Midshipmen, Larrier was 3-of-3 for 150 yards (50 yards per attempt) and the touchdown to Kinamon. He also had completions of 22 and 34 yards.
Despite Air Force dominating Navy during the first half, it's only a 7-0 game at halftime. The Falcons outgained the Midshipmen 221-20 but missed a field goal and lost a fumble on two of their first three series. The long pass was the only score, and Air Force might need to air the ball out more to break open Saturday's game.
More often than not, the Falcons have made the most out of their opportunities.
