Mays' 2-yard gain on his only run against Air Force gave him 1,200 in his career. He is 21st on the Aggies' all-time list, 35 yards behind Joey DeMartino and Archie Gibson, who are tied for 19th.
If Mays is lost for an extended period of time, his absence could be critical. When Mays has rushed for over 50 yards, the Aggies are 7-3 over the past two seasons.
Falcons honor former quarterback
Air Force is honoring former star quarterback Dee Dowis by wearing a No. 6 decal on its helmets during the season.
Dowis, whose mastery of the Falcons' option offense made him a Heisman Trophy finalist, was killed in a traffic accident near Atlanta on Aug.
