TEAM NOTESAIR FORCE LEADS NATION IN APRThe Air Force football team has the nation’s top Academic Progress Rate (APR) score with a 997, according to the NCAA’s latest multiyear NCAA Division I scores. The Falcons were sec-ond last year with a 993. This season marks the eighth straight year in the top 10. Each year, the NCAA honors selected NCAA Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate. This announcement is part of the overall Division I academic reform effort and is intended to highlight teams that demon-strate a commitment to academic progress and retention of student-athletes by achieving the top APRs within their respective sports. The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s ac-ademic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship (recruited and on varsity roster for non-scholarship schools). The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team’s academic per-formance. NCAA Division I Football APR Leaders# School APR Score1. Air Force 9972.

THE RAM-FALCON TROPHYAir Force and Colorado State compete each year for the Ram-Falcon Trophy. The 2019 season marks the 40th year of the trophy competition with Air Force holding a 24-15 lead. The tro-phy’s origin is tracked back to Shelly Godkin, a former ROTC commander at Colorado State. He watched the teams play in 1978 and sought to translate his impressions into a trophy sym-bolic of an annual game. The first Ram-Falcon trophy game was in 1980.

THE KUTER TROPHY The General Laurence S. Kuter Trophy, named after the first PACAF commander, is a tribute to the friendship between Hawai’i and Air Force and to the cooperation between the people of Hawai’i and their Air Force. The trophy was conceived by the University of Hawai’i, spon-sored by the Pacific Air Command, and the Air Force Academy helped design it. The Kuter trophy is presented to the winner of the annual football game between the two schools.

INDIVIDUAL NOTESKAUPPILA ON NCAA DIVISION I FOOTBALL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEEAir Force senior Garrett Kauppila has been named to the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee. He is one of two players from the Mountain West on the committee.During its June 2018 in-person meeting, the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee voted to change its structure to provide football student-athletes increased opportunities for providing feedback to the committee. This led to the formation of a Student-Athlete Con-nection Group. The goal of the Student-Athlete Connection Group is to gather broad-based feedback from Division I football student-athletes on issues the Football Oversight Committee is reviewing. Members of the group will be asked to participate in quarterly teleconferences to provide feedback to the oversight committee. There may also be opportunities to share feedback via surveys.“It is an absolute honor and privilege to represent the Air Force Academy as well as the Mountain West Conference on the NCAA Football Oversight Committee. As a member of the committee, my sole intentions are to provide a voice of reason and pursue innovative change that takes into account the needs and desires of student-athletes,” Kauppila said. “Specifi-cally, I intend on representing my teammates and ensuring that their ideas and perspectives are heard and considered at the highest level. I am confident that the formation of this com-mittee will result in the progression of both college football and the lives of student-athletes around the nation.”

KYLE JOHNSON NOMINATED FOR DEFENDER OF THE YEAR AWARD Senior ILB Kyle Johnson is Air Force’s nominee for the 2019 Defender of the Year Award spon-sored by the Charlotte Touchdown Club.

AIR POWER LEGACY SERIES

Air Force football honors the flying heritage of the Air Force each year with the Airpower Leg-acy Series. The team wears a special designed helmet and uniform modeled after a different aircraft for select games. This year’s selection will be announced later this season. The team is 8-0 when wearing the special uniforms.

The Airpower Legacy Series began in the 2016 season with the football team wearing an alter-nate uniform for the Georgia State game to celebrate the Tiger Shark teeth nose-art which has been represented on mul-tiple Air Force aircraft dating back to World War II. During the WWII era, fighter plane pilots were called “Flying Tigers” and were part of the U.S. Army Air Corps, which later be-came the Air Force. The helmets worn for the game featured a shark-teeth design like those painted on the aircraft.

While 2016 focused on the past, the Fal-cons honored the present, and future, of air power in 2017 with the F-35 theme. The F-35 completed its first flight in 2006. In 2012, the F-35 program increased to 30 aircraft. In 2016, the F-35A was declared combat ready by Gen. Hawk Carlisle, the commander of the Air Com-bat Command. The helmet had five different designs. On one side of every helmet will be the familiar Air Force logo often seen on aircraft, which includes the length-wise bars intersecting the roundel. On the other side was a decal representing one of the five Air Force F-35-A operational fighter squadrons in the Air Force.

The team honored the AC-130 in 2018. The Falcons debuted the uni-form in the season opener Sept. 1 vs. Stony Brook and wore them again at home against New Mexico. The helmet featured the AC-130 on one side, plus squadron patches on the other. The AC-130 gunship is a heavily armed, long-endurance ground-attack variant of the C-130 Hercules transport fixed-wing aircraft. It carries a wide array of anti-ground oriented weapons that are integrated with sophisti-cated sensors, navigation, and fire-control sys-tems. Unlike other military fixed-wing aircraft, the AC-130 relies on visual targeting. Because its large profile and low operating altitudes (around 7,000 ft) make it an easy target, it usually flies close air support missions at night.

tackles for loss (3.5) vs. Navy. His 3.5 TFL were the most by a Falcon last season.
