Air Force beats Western Michigan 38-24 in Potato Bowl

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Western Michigan couldn't cap its turnaround season with its first bowl victory in school history. Air Force beat the Broncos 38-24 on Saturday night in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, dropping them to 0-6 in bowl games. Pinned at their own 8, Western Michigan embarked on a nine play, 92-yard drive that was capped by the second of three touchdown passes from Zach Terrell to Corey Davis. After holding the Falcons, Western Michigan's Daniel Braverman returned a punt for a touchdown and appeared to pull his team even. Air Force defensive back Dexter White scooped up the loose ball and returned it 60 yards for the clinching touchdown. Western Michigan started strong, recovering a fumble on the first play from scrimmage that set up a 25-yard field goal by Andrew Haldeman and led 10-6 after Davis' first touchdown grab, a 47-yarder. Sophomore running back Shayne Dalvern scored his second touchdown of the game on a career-long 55-yard run to give the Falcons a 13-10 advantage. Dalvern also carried six yards on a fake punt in the second quarter that picked up a first down and allowed his team to take a 20-10 lead when Devin Rushing capped the 15-play, 80-yard drive on a fourth day play.
