AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) — The blue-and-white sign leading into Falcon Stadium certainly grabs an opposing team’s attention: “Warning: Lack of oxygen.”
Set at 6,621 feet above sea level, the stadium celebrating its 60th anniversary this season has provided quite a home-field advantage for the Air Force Falcons. That’s especially true in the 15 seasons under coach Troy Calhoun, whose teams have gone 66-23 at the venue located at the base of the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains.
The Falcons already have plenty of pieces in place. Just look at the early accolades coming their way. Junior offensive lineman Everett Smalley was named to the Outland Trophy watch list, while Sanford found his name mentioned for the Chuck Bednarik and Bronko Nagurski awards. Roberts, who is coming off a 1,352-yard season on a school-record 298 carries, was included on the Walter Camp Award watch list for player of the year.
