Labor Day Weekend

It was awhile back, but we came home for Labor Day weekend. My mom emailed me a couple pictures from the visit. Enjoy!

First Leg of Commander-In-Chief's Trophy Set for Saturday in Colorado Springs

Navy (3-2) at Air Force (3-1)

Coming off a stunning 24-17 victory over 16th-ranked Wake Forest last Saturday in Winston-Salem, Navy will travel to Colorado Springs, Colo. on Saturday to take on Air Force in a nationally-televised contest on VERSUS.

Navy has won the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy a school-record five-consecutive years. The Mids are just one win away from tying the all-time record for consecutive service academy wins set by Air Force who won 12 in a row from 1997-2002. Navy has won 11-straight service academy games dating back to the Army-Navy in 2002 outscoring the opposition 374-178 (34-16.2) during the 11-game winning streak.

Scouting Air Force

Air Force enters Saturday's contest with a 3-1 record, claiming wins over Southern Utah (41-7), Wyoming (23-3) and Houston (31-28), while dropping a close decision to then No. 20 Utah (30-23).

The Falcons are ranked sixth nationally in rushing offense (281.8), 119th in passing offense (57.0), 85th in total offense (338.8) and 54th in scoring offense (29.5).

On the defensive side, Air Force is ranked 55th in rush defense (129.0), 60th in pass defense (201.0), 48th in total defense (333.0) and 30th in scoring defense (17.0).

Since we got so many compliments on our wedding website, I decided to start our own blog! I think it will be a fun way for our friends and family to keep up on our happenings. Stay tuned for more!
