Highlights
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) The Air Force Falcons dropped a hard fought double-overtime game Saturday afternoon, falling to Hawaii 34-27.
Dru Brown threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Kemp on the first play of the second overtime.
Jalen Rogers intercepted a Nate Romine pass on fourth down to seal it for the Rainbow Warriors, who won consecutive road games for the first time since 2010.
Brown and Kemp also connected on a 13-yard score in the first OT after Romine summersaulted into the end zone for a 5-yard score.
Luke Strebel had a chance to win it on the final play of regulation, but his 32-yard field goal attempt went wide right.
"They put me in a great spot to make a big play. Unfortunately, sometimes they don't go your way,'' Strebel said. ''You look back on it and you think, `I make that 99 times out of 100. It's easy.' It's a shame that that had to be the one.''
Shayne Davern paced the team with 98 rushing yards, while Timothy McVey had 78 and Romine had 74. All three had touchdown runs for the Falcons.
Brown finished with a career-high 312 yards passing for Hawaii (4-4, 3-1 Mountain West), including a 40-yard TD strike to John Ursua to tie it at 20 with 11:51 remaining. He also threw two interceptions after entering with a streak of 112 passes without a pick.
The Falcons (4-3, 1-3) lost at Falcon Stadium for the first time since Nov. 21, 2013, against UNLV.
''I don't think we're going to panic,'' Romine said. ''We know what we're capable of.''
There was a scary moment early in the third quarter when Air Force defensive back Jesse Washington was injured after being tackled during an interception return. Washington had full movement in his extremities and was taken to a hospital as a precaution, the team announced.
