Preparation met opportunity against Air Force. And the Cadets' longtime western nemesis, which had defeated Army seven straight games and maintained possession of the coveted Commander in Chief's Trophy since 1989, never stood a chance. Amidst a season bulging with defensive masterpieces, Army put the final brush strokes on another "Rembrandt" Saturday, limiting the high-powered Air Force wishbone attack to just 69 yards rushing. The Falcons, led by Heisman Trophy vPry candidate quarterback Beau andcel top Morgan, wandered onto Academy grounds boasting the nation's k second leading rushing attack, ,j averaging 353.9 ground yards per contest. They crawled back toward the Rockies, smothered under an avalanche of an Army defense that allowed Morgan just six yards rushing on 11 carries. "It was a great effort by our cer nr defensive football team," Army head coach Bob Sutton raved. "We were well-prepared and well- coached by our defensive coaches." So well prepared that Air Force crossed midfield just three times all day, twice in the first half and once in the second half. In fact, the Falcons did not manage a single first down in the second half until just under 10 minutes remained in the game.
