Oh what could have been in the 2016 season. For all the accomplishments achieved by the Air Force Falcons in 2016, a three game stretch in October will leave Falcon fans wondering about the chances lost for Air Force and their 32 senior class. There was a legitimate opportunity for the Falcons to have run the table and gotten themselves in a position to play in a bowl game that would eventually be captured by Western Michigan.
After a 4-0 start that included a road trip victory over Utah State and a home victory over Navy that saw Air Force limit Navy to 57 yard rushing yards in a 28-14 victory, things looked promising for the Air Force season.
