Air Force Post-Game Notes
at Navy (Sept. 29, 2007)

Team Notes

Air Force is using game captains this season. The captains for the Navy game were senior fullback Ryan Williams and sophomore safety Chris Thomas. They were joined by honorary captain Col. Bart Weiss, a 1986 graduate of the Academy. Weiss was Air Force's starting quarterback in 1984-85 and led the Falcons to a 12-1 mark as a senior in 1985.
Air Force extended its consecutive games scoring streak to 173 games with Ryan Harrison's second-quarter field goal. The last time Air Force was shutout was Dec. 31, 1992, vs. Mississippi (13-0) in the Liberty Bowl. The 170-game streak is the longest in school history and ranks as the eighth-longest active streak in the nation.
Air Force's opening scoring drive (Harrison 28 FG) used up 13 plays and 5:58 off the clock. The 13 play-drive ties as the most in a drive this season. AFA also used 13 plays in a touchdown drive in the season opener vs. South Carolina State. The 5:58 off the clock is a new season best. The previous was 4:50 on a touchdown drive vs. South Carolina State.
Air Force's second-quarter touchdown (Hall 16 run) is its first touchdown in the first half since the season opener vs. South Carolina State. The Falcons scored 24 first-half points in the SCSU game. Since then, the Falcons had scored three points vs. Utah, three points vs. TCU and were shutout vs. BYU in the first half prior to the Navy game.
The Navy game is the first this season that Air Force didn't force any turnovers.
