FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) -Chad Hall and Shaun Carney set school yardage records and Air Force beat Colorado State 45-21 on Saturday night.
The Falcons (5-2, 4-1) scored four first-half touchdowns on their way to the win.
Hall, a senior wide receiver, ran for four touchdowns and a single-game school-record 256 yards. It was his third 100-yard rushing performance against the Rams, and his fifth overall.
Carney completed only one pass in the first half, but the 12-yard completion to Hall was enough to set the school record for passing yards. Dave Ziebart, who played from 1976-79, had the old record of 4,789 yards. Carney finished the game with 52 yards passing and a touchdown.
Colorado State quarterback Caleb Hanie threw three first-half interceptions and the Falcons capitalized, returning one for a touchdown and turning another into a scoring drive.
Colorado State's losing streak reached 13 games. Air Force was the first team to beat CSU during its current tailspin, erasing an 18-point halftime deficit last year to beat the Rams 24-21. The Rams' last win was more than a year ago, when they beat UNLV 28-7 last Oct. 7.
On the first drive of the game, the Falcons marched 80 yards on 14 plays, capped by Hall's two-yard touchdown run. He added three more, from two yards, six yards, and 13 yards.
Falcons linebacker Drew Fowler intercepted a pass in the first half and returned it 26 yards for a touchdown.
Colorado State cut Air Force's lead to seven in the second quarter on a touchdown run by Gartrell Johnson.
Hanie threw four interceptions in the game and just one touchdown, a 7-yard pass to Damon Morton in the third quarter.
The game was delayed 45 minutes because lightning knocked out power to some parts of the stadium.
