DALLAS -- Air Force coach Troy Calhoun remembers going to the Cotton Bowl for a Texas-Oklahoma game when he was stationed not far from the Sooners campus about 25 years ago.Suffice it to say New Mexicos Bob Davie has plenty more experience on the sidelines of the historic stadium near downtown Dallas, coaching in the bowl game as an assistant seven times in a span of 12 seasons in the 1980s and 90s.But hey, at least Calhoun can say hes been to the Texas state fair on a game day.I think I ate a little cotton candy, Calhoun said.Yes, the fair will be going on outside the 92,000-seat stadium Saturday when the Falcons (4-1, 1-1 Mountain West) face the Lobos on the other side of Dallas-Fort Worth after five trips in nine years to the Armed Forces Bowl on the TCU campus.Calhouns mind will be on more than the midway. Air Force is coming off a conference loss at Wyoming a week after improving to 4-0 with a win over Navy, which went on to hand No. 13 Houston its first loss last week.I dont know that we quite ride momentum, Calhoun said. Not that you arent allowed to. I just dont know that theres merit in that. Makes for good talk. I realize the emotion if you get things caught up and whatnot. But I think theres got to be a steadiness thats involved, too.One thing is steady about both teams: the running game. New Mexico (2-3, 1-1) averages a nation-leading 354 yards rushing per game and Air Force is seventh at 280.Weve tried to build our program on that model of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Davie said. Because you do to a degree have to do more with less. Thats not an insult to anybody or anything. Thats the world we live in. I put us in that world and we try to do the same thing.Things to consider going into Air Forces sixth Cotton Bowl appearance, and first since the last of four regular-season games on SMUs old home field in 1969:WATCH OUT FOR THE PASS: Air Force quarterback Nate Romine and receiver Jalen Robinette have hooked up for a 75-yard touchdown pass in each of the past two games, the career long for both players. Thats been the key to consecutive 100-yard receiving games for Robinette, who has five for his career. His 15 touchdowns receiving are second in school history.STILL RUN FIRST, THOUGH: The Falcons spread their rushing attack among several backs. Fullback D.J. Johnson leads at 329 yards, followed by Jacobi Owens at 283 and Shayne Davern at 184. Romine has 164 yards. The touchdown leaders are Tim McVey and Tyler Williams with three apiece.TOUCHDOWN TIM: McVey has 19 touchdowns in 19 career games, including six this season. He leads the nation with a 37-yard average on kickoff returns, including a 99-yarder against Georgia State that was the first for Air Force since 2010. In last years loss at New Mexico, he was the first player in school history with at least 100 yards rushing and receiving in the same game. He also had five touchdowns in his first career start.THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES: Davie was a linebackers coach with Texas A&M when the Aggies beat a pair of Heisman Trophy winners in the Cotton Bowl: Auburns Bo Jackson after the 1985 season and Notre Dames Tim Brown two years later. Theres great memories in that Cotton Bowl, and itll be a great game for our players, particular our Texas kids, Davie said.SPEAKING OF TEXAS KIDS: New Mexicos leading rusher, Teriyon Gipson (399 yards in three games), went to high school in Dallas. Hes among 11 starters and 24 players from Texas on the Lobos roster. Air Force has six starters and 27 players.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.orgLou Gehrig Jersey .Y. - New York City has been selected to host the NBA All-Star weekend in 2015, with the game played at Madison Square Garden and the slam dunk contest and other skills events held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
