This impressive display of running prowess included a long rush of 63 yards and culminated in one rushing touchdown. The team's efficiency was evident as they converted three out of four red zone opportunities into scores and successfully made one out of two goal-to-go situations.

The Falcons' special teams contributed with field goals, making two out of four attempts with a longest successful kick from 32 yards. Their punting unit also performed solidly with an average net yardage per punt standing at approximately 38 yards across five attempts.

Defensively, the Falcons were relentless; they recorded two sacks for a loss of 20 total yards and intercepted twice for return yardage totaling sixteen. These interceptions were crucial in halting any momentum that the Aztecs attempted to build.

On offense, despite limited passing plays resulting in only fourteen passing yards from one completion out of three attempts, it was their formidable running game that kept them ahead on the scoreboard. The team's time on offense amounted to nearly forty minutes which helped keep their defense fresh and ready to stifle any threats posed by San Diego State.

The Aztecs struggled against this stout defensive effort from the Falcons and could only manage three points throughout four quarters. They found some success during third-quarter play where they matched the Falcon's field goal but failed to capitalize further as no touchdowns were scored by either side during this period.

Looking ahead for fans eager to follow their team's progress; The Air Force Falcons will next face off against Baylor Bears at Amon G. Carter Stadium on December twenty-second at seven-thirty PM Eastern Time. This upcoming game can be watched live on ESPN for those who wish to tune in and support their team as they continue their season campaign.
