Falcons Defeat Scrappy Laffayette, 35-14

In what turned out to be quite a week for FCS football teams, the Lafayette Leopards came into Falcon Stadium and gave the Air Force Falcons a pretty good run for their payout money.

The game started out as expected with the Falcons producing two long touchdown marches sandwiched around a 3 and out. Then the Leopards, led by two quarterbacks who had not seen any action in a college football game, started to bring their team back by producing a 13 play, 88 yard march for a touchdown. After the two teams traded touchdowns at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half, it started to look like we might have a tight game.
