COLORADO SPRINGS – You could call it the disaster in Colorado Springs.
A completely ineffective offense and a defense that wore down over the course of the contest doomed the Midshipmen in the first leg of the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy series.
Sophomore quarterback D.J. Hammond directed an offense that got stronger as the game went along as Air Force seized control in the second quarter and never let up in manhandling Navy, 35-7, Saturday before an announced crowd of 40,175 at Falcon Stadium.
Hammond completed 6 of 10 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown as the Falcons outscored the Mids 35-0 after falling behind by a touchdown early in the second period.
