Air Force falls to Houston at Armed Forces Bowl, 34-28

December 31st, 2008
A record-setting ground game couldn't help the Air Force Academy Falcons overcome early mistakes, as the University of Houston Cougars downed the Air Force 34-28 in the Armed Forces Bowl on Dec. 31.

The Falcons fumbled the ball on the opening kickoff, and Houston's Brandon Brinkley recovered the ball at the Air Force 25-yard line.

Four plays later, the Cougars hit end-zone paydirt on a one-yard run by running back Bryce Beall. With Jordan Mannisto's successful point-after kick, the Cougars took a 7-0 lead, less than a minute into the game.
