FacebookAIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- Asher Clark rushed for 95 yards and two touchdowns and Air Force overcame the loss of quarterback Tim Jefferson to beat New Mexico 48-23 on Saturday.
Backup quarterback Connor Dietz threw for one touchdown and ran for another, and Nate Walker ran for 95 yards and a score as the Falcons (7-4, 4-3 Mountain West) snapped a three-game skid and assured themselves of a winning season.
Stump Godfrey had two touchdowns and James Wright ran for another for the Lobos (1-9, 1-5).
Jefferson was injured on a 12-yard run late in the second quarter. He was tackled by two Lobos defenders and stayed on the ground. He was helped off the field with a towel on his bloody nose.
Jefferson ran for 78 yards and a touchdown before leaving, but he did not return in the second half.
Dietz took over and led the Falcons on a 10-play, 76-yard drive in the final 2:10 of the first half. He hit Zack Kauth with a 28-yard touchdown pass with 4 seconds left before the break to give Air Force a 21-7 lead.
The Lobos got a 24-yard field goal from James Aho to start the third quarter, but Air Force pulled away behind Dietz. The Falcons responded with a 65-yard drive, all on the ground, and made it 28-10 on Walker's 1-yard plunge with 9:52 left in the third.
Two drives later, Air Force sacked Godfrey on a fourth-and-2 at the Lobos 37. Dietz scored from 14 yards out six plays later to make it 35-10.
Godfrey hit Ty Kirk with a 14-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth, but Clark gave Air Force a 41-17 lead with a 2-yard run.
Godfrey scored from 6 yards out with 6:11 left to make it 41-23.
Early on, it looked like Air Force would struggle against the Lobos. Clark fumbled on the Falcons' first play from scrimmage and the Lobos recovered at the Air Force 24. Five plays later Wright scored on a 1-yard run to give New Mexico a 7-0 lead.
After missing a 46-yard field goal, Air Force gained control. Jefferson led the Falcons on a 15-play, 70-yard drive that finished with Clark's 7-yard run to tie it.
Air Force took a 14-7 lead after New Mexico fumbled a punt at its own 37. Jefferson scored from 8 yards out four plays later.
