AIR FORCE 20, TCU 17 (OT) =========================
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Ticker) - Air Force kicker Ryan Harrison booted a 33-yard field goal to give Air Force a 20-17 overtime victory over Texas Christian on Thursday night. Harrison's game-winner followed a miss by TCU kicker Chris Manfredini, who bounced his 36-yard attempt off the left upright on the first possession of overtime. Air Force running back Jim Ollis scampered 71 yards on 4th-and-one from its own 29 after receiving an option pitch from quarterback Shaun Carney to bring the Falcons (3-0, 2-0 Mountain West) all the way back from a 17-3 fourth-quarter deficit. The win kept first-year coach and former Academy graduate Troy Calhoun undefeated in his return to the college game after spending the last four seasons in the NFL as an offensive assistant. Andy Dalton finished 29-of-45 for 320 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Frogs (1-2, 0-1).
