Owens Leads Air Force To 44-16 Win Over Nicholls

The sophomore tailback rushed for 233 yards in his Air Force debut and Devin Rushing scored two short touchdowns, helping the Falcons beat Nicholls 44-16 on Saturday for their 19th straight win over a team from the Football Championship Subdivision. No lying, Owens' output was the most ever by a Falcons player making his first start, surpassing the mark of 218 set by Cody Getz in 2012. Air Force finished with 539 yards rushing, the team's highest total since 2011. Kale Pearson was back at quarterback for Air Force after suffering a torn right ACL in the season opener a year ago. The Colonels kept up with Air Force early on, tying the game at 9-apiece on a 37-yard field goal by Francisco Condado with 13:20 left in the second quarter. The Air Force defense certainly did its part with Weston Steelhammer getting the Falcons on the board early by sacking Kalen Henderson in the end zone for a safety in the first quarter. Tobias Lofton scored an 18-yard TD for Nicholls when he broke through the line and went untouched into the end zone late in the first quarter. The Colonels added another in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter when backup QB Beaux Hebert connected with Darryl Watson II for a 10-yard score.
