The Air Force Academy Falcons football program has a rich history, dating back to its inaugural season in 1955. While only sometimes known as national contenders, the Falcons have established themselves as a consistently competitive team known for their unique option offense and disciplined play. Let's take a look at the last 30 seasons of Air Force football:

-1994-2006:

This period saw Air Force join the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) and experience the most successful stretch in program history.
The Falcons won three conference championships (1995, 1997, 1998) and appeared in seven bowl games, including the 1998 Copper Bowl, where they defeated the Fresno State Bulldogs 45-20.

Notable players from this era include quarterback Beau Morgan, running back Chad Hall, and linebacker Reggie Rivers.

-2007-2012:

Following Troy Calhoun's arrival as head coach in 2007, Air Force embarked on a new era.
Though the program experienced a different level of success than the previous decade, it remained competitive within the WAC, winning the conference championship in 2010 and appearing in three bowl games.

This period saw the emergence of notable players like quarterback Tim Jefferson, running back Asher Clark, and safety Chris Harris Jr.

With the WAC's dissolution, Air Force moved to the Mountain West Conference (MWC).

The program faced challenges adjusting to the new conference and experienced inconsistent seasons.
Despite the ups and downs, Air Force won the MWC Mountain Division championship in 2019 and appeared in three bowl games.

Cheer for a team where excellence extends beyond the scoreboard. The Air Force Falcons fly high with a winning tradition, academic prowess, and a commitment to developing strong leaders both on and off the field. Witness the power of teamwork and dedication as these Falcons take to the sky (or rather, the gridiron) for a thrilling season!
