selling out for the run, we felt that was our best chance, Caragher said of the pass plays that allowed Air Force to save its two remaining timeouts. O

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Quarterback Arion Worthman threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Robinette with 32 seconds left and Air Force beat San Jose State 41-38 in Mountain West Conference play Saturday night.But questionable clock management by the Spartans made the Falcons comeback a bit easier.San Jose State (3-8, 2-5) had apparently won the game when Jermaine Kelly recovered a fumble by Ronald Cleveland at the SJSU 1 with 1:39 left.Backed up to their own end zone, the Spartans ran just 12 seconds off the clock on three plays before punting to set up the game-winning strike for the Falcons (8-3, 4-3).Air Force coach Troy Calhoun defended the Spartans decision to throw the ball on second and third downs before being forced to punt.Theyre trying to make a first down, theyre trying to win the game, he said. I admire the aggressiveness. It was good football on their part. Sometimes things that are good football do or dont work out, but its the right approach.Spartans coach Ron Caragher called a run on first down, but the Falcons were waiting and stopped it for no gain. Quarterback Kenny Potter was given a run-pass option on second down, but was pressured and had to throw the ball away.The way they were selling out for the run, we felt that was our best chance, Caragher said of the pass plays that allowed Air Force to save its two remaining timeouts. On third down we knew we needed to get the first down. We went the best (pass) route we could.Safety Weston Steelhammer had two interceptions for Air Force, the last one with 16 seconds left, bringing his NCAA-leading active career total to 17. He has six this season.Potter threw 340 yards and two touchdowns and he ran for three, including a 1-yard sneak for a 38-34 lead with 3:53 left. He has 14 career rushing touchdowns, equaling Jeff Garcia (1991-93) for most by a San Jose State quarterback since 1950.But the Falcons got the final word, leaving their coach feeling proud.Our strongest muscle is the one thats inside our chest cavity, Calhoun said. Thats what we rely upon -- the heart and soul and character of our guys.Worthman, making just his third start, totaled 215 rushing yards and scored on runs of 4 and 25 yards. He became the first Air Force quarterback to rush for 200 yards since Beau Morgan had 217 against Fresno State in 1996.The sophomore completed just three passes out of the Falcons run-oriented, triple-option attack.Hes quite alert and a fast learner, Calhoun said. Anytime you have a guy whos that sharp, just these experiences are immeasurable as he plays down the road.THE TAKEAWAYAir Force: The Falcons have matched the four-game win streak they also assembled to begin the season and are on their way to playing in a bowl game for the ninth time in 10 seasons under Calhoun.San Jose State: No relief in a difficult season for the Spartans, who will finish with their fourth straight non-winning campaign under Caragher, who is 18-30, including 12-24 the past three seasons.UP NEXTAir Force: The Falcons close the regular season at home next Saturday against No. 20 Boise State, which needs a victory over Air Force and a Wyoming loss at New Mexico to win the MWC Mountain Division title.San Jose State: The Spartans end their season next Saturday on the road against long-time rival Fresno State. The Bulldogs remain winless in seven Mountain West games and dropped to 1-10 overall after a 14-13 home defeat to Hawaii, their ninth consecutive loss.

MADISON, Wis. -- For an encore to the upset victory over LSU, No. 10 Wisconsin will host Akron.This matchup doesnt have quite the same zip as a showdown against an SEC power. But the Badgers have vowed to stay focused , and to build on their big win with Big Ten play looming in a few weeks.You want to go into those games with as much momentum as possible, Wisconsin running back Corey Clement said.The two-week honeymoon period in the schedule starts on Saturday with the home opener at Camp Randall Stadium against the Zips, a Mid-American Conference team.Akron, which has been picked to finish third in the MAC East division, is coming off a 47-24 win over FCS school VMI in its opener last week. The Zips were the big-school target in that game.Now theyre looking to score a huge upset.We realize the monumental task we have, Akron coach Terry Bowden said.First off, the Zips will be challenged up front by the bruising Badgers defense, which outmuscled LSU in a 16-14 win in the season opener last week at Lambeau Field. For the most part, the front seven controlled the line of scrimmage in that game. Outside linebackers Vince Biegel and T.J. Watt disrupted the backfield.Wisconsin has held its last nine nonconference opponents at Camp Randall to an average of 5.6 points a game. The Zips are piecing together five new starters on the offensive line.The Badgers could get a little pushy on Saturday.When you play Wisconsin, youre going to be challenged physically in the trenches first, Bowden said.Other notes and things to watch as Wisconsin tries to win its 21st straight home opener:HOUSTONS ARMWisconsin senior quarterback Bart Houston had a so-so debut in his first collegiate start, going 19 of 31 for 205 yards against LSU. Houston showed some accuracy, but also threw two interceptions -- one returned for a touchdown, and another picked off in the end zone.Houston said he needs to improve while scrambling.Its sort of that ffine line, coach Paul Chryst said.dddddddddddd Its not so much the science of quarterbacking but the art of quarterbacking.ABOUT AKRONThe Zips finished 2015 at 8-5, its best record since becoming an FBS program in 1987. Akron also won its first bowl game as an FBS school, having beaten Utah State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. But Akron returns just seven starters from that team.SPREAD IT OUTAkron quarterback Thomas Woodson was named the MAC Offensive Player of the Week for the East Division after throwing for a career-high 407 yards and school record six touchdowns in the victory over VMI . Akrons spread offense will give the Wisconsin secondary a different test after facing LSUs big receivers last week. Chryst said the Badgers will have to play disciplined defense and stick to their assignments.BEEN THERE, DONE THATWhile he might have more than a dozen new starters, Bowden himself has a lot of experience in big games. Bowden has been to four bowl games in a 23-year career on the sideline. His father is former Florida State coach and Hall of Famer Bobby Bowden. Akron associate head coach and defensive coordinator Chuck Amato used to be a head coach at North Carolina State, as well as an assistant at North Carolina State.Youve got some coaches who have coached a lot of games, where were not in awe, Bowden said, and so I think the player sometimes feed off their coaches.MILESTONE MARKERClement carried a career-high 21 times for 86 yards and a score against LSU. He is 197 yards short of becoming the 16th player in Wisconsin history to rush for 2,000 yards, a mark that the speedster could very well reach either this week, or next week against Georgia State at home.---Online: AP College Football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
