DALLAS -- Jalen Robinette and the Air Force Falcons havent even led since a win over service academy rival Navy that had them unbeaten and maybe thinking about a national ranking.Now its just about survival in the Mountain West Conference.Teriyon Gipson rushed for 140 yards with a touchdown and caught a pass for another score, leading New Mexico to a 45-40 victory over Air Force on Saturday.The Falcons (4-2, 1-2 Mountain West) lost their second straight, and have trailed from the opening minutes to the finish both times after a 35-26 loss at Wyoming a week earlier.When we were 4-0, there was a lot of hype going around, said Robinette, who had his third straight 100-yard receiving game. Came up short twice, but those are the ones that hurt because youre right there. With the group we have, we keep our heads up.Playing at the historic Cotton Bowl not far from his Dallas high school, Gipson ran 60 yards down the sideline on an option pitch to give the Lobos (3-3, 2-1) a 14-3 lead in the first quarter.The neutral site game at the Texas state fair featured teams with a combined 51 players from the Lone Star State, including 17 starters.I always dreamed about playing in the Cotton Bowl, watching Texas-OU, being from Dallas, its right up the street, Gipson said. My first time playing in it, I wanted to make it memorable.Nate Romine threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns for the Falcons.New Mexicos nation-leading rushing offense had 373 yards against an Air Force defense that was No. 2 nationally against the run and had allowed 401 yards all season coming in.The teams combined for 974 yards -- 443 for New Mexico and 531 for Air Force -- and eight scoring drives of 70-plus yards.But both defenses stiffened in the fourth quarter, when the Lobos had just 9 yards rushing and punted four times. Romine was sacked three times after halftime, and Air Force stalled twice in the final 3 1/2 minutes when a touchdown would have put the Falcons ahead.When you know its going to be a shootout game type like that, youve just got to buckle down and know that weve got to score every drive, said Jacobi Owens, who led Air Force with 106 yards rushing. Sadly at the end, we didnt score every drive.Lamar Jordan had a career-high two touchdown passes for the ground-oriented Lobos. After a 12-yarder to Gipson midway through the second quarter, he floated one to a wide-open Q Drennan for a 45-yard score . It was one of the nine plays of 30-plus yards in the game.Robinette finished with season highs of seven catches for 182 yards, including a 53-yard score .Tyrone Owens had a career-high 126 yards rushing and a touchdown for the Lobos, who got two rushing TDs from Richard McQuarley.STAYING NEUTRALIt was actually the third neutral site game between these schools from neighboring western states. Two of the first three games in the series were played in Denver in 1957 and 1959, just up the road from Air Forces Colorado Springs campus. The high-scoring game came 57 years after Air Force played one of two scoreless ties in the Cotton Bowl game, against TCU.GAME HELMETAfter the game, Gipson handed his helmet to 8-year-old nephew Marcell Gipson Jr., one of several family members in attendance. Thats my biggest fan, Gipson said. Hes been watching me since high school, middle school. He called my name all the time on the sidelines so after the game I had to go show him some love.THE TAKEAWAYNew Mexico: The Lobos bounced back strong from a blowout loss to No. 15 Boise State and might have taken a big step toward a second straight bowl season under fifth-year coach Bob Davie.Air Force: The Falcons might have been thinking about making a run for the Top 25 after improving to 4-0 with a win over Navy, which handed No. 13 Houston its first loss a week later. But consecutive Mountain West losses have changed their outlook.UP NEXTNew Mexico: Home against Louisiana-Monroe next Saturday.Air Force: Home against Hawaii next Saturday.---This story corrects previous versions to show 9 yards rushing in the fourth quarter for New Mexico instead of 10 and 182 yards receiving for Jalen Robinette instead of 169.

The next step is a better finish. Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Gary Kubiak is full of faith in one young quarterback and hope in another.The Denver Broncos coach is optimistic Trevor Siemian can return to the lineup this weekend and trusts that rookie Paxton Lynch has a bright future despite his shaky start Sunday at Jacksonville.Lynch completed just a dozen passes -- only two after halftime -- for 104 yards and converted just one of 13 first downs. But he didnt turn the ball over like he had in his first start against Atlanta in Week 5, when he threw an interception and fumbled twice.Lynch, whos still learning how to play under center, make progressions in the passing game and call plays in the huddle -- things he didnt do much at the University of Memphis -- struggled mostly with his accuracy . But his ball protection allowed Denvers defense and special teams to lead the way to a 20-10 victory that put them back in the playoff picture at 8-4.Hes still a young, raw player, Kubiak said. Hell learn a lot from this game. He missed two big plays in the game off of bootlegs that could have been touchdowns for us. But hell learn from that and be better because of it.Although Denver managed just 206 yards of offense, its defense forced three turnovers and punter Riley Dixon averaged 46 yards on 11 punts, accounting for 506 yards. Dixons 41.4-yard net punting average is the highest by any rookie in NFL history.Siemian sat out Sunday with a left mid-foot sprain he suffered in overtime of Denvers loss to Kansas City a week earlier. He spent a few days last week in a walking boot but was out of it by the weekend and showed no noticeable limp in the locker room Monday.The true test comes Wednesday if hes cleared to practice, to see if he can move around in the pocket.The Broncos playoff hopes could rest on that answer.Their next four opponents have a combined .729 winning percentage. No one in the NFL has a tougher schedule to finish out the season than the Broncos, who visit AFC South co-leader Tennessee (6-6) on Sunday.Siemian had his best game as a pro , 368 yards passing, three touchdowns and no intercepptions, against the Chiefs, just the kind of step-it-up performance Kubiak challenged him to deliver in Denvers stretch run.dddddddddddd But he hurt his foot on a sack in overtime and Lynch was up again.Playing behind a porous O-line, Siemian hasnt been able to stay healthy. He bruised his throwing shoulder in the preseason and sustained a bruised left A.C. joint in Week 4. He missed six quarters and was bothered by that injury until the bye week. Then, he got hurt again.Yeah, learning how to stay healthy as a player, its an art in a lot of ways, Kubiak said. Youve got to know how to protect yourself and getting rid of the ball and those type of things. So, hopefully he can improve upon those things. But the good news is its not something where hes missed a lot of time. So, hopefully hes back here and he can take care of himself throughout the rest of the year.The coaching staff last week modified the offense to fit Lynchs skills and grasp of the playbook, putting him in the shotgun and moving him around. Its just that his throws were off-target.I just think its a guy who went out and played in his second start, Kubiak said. Ive been doing this a long time and seen young players. Hes still a young, raw player.Kubiak seemed taken aback by questions this week about Lynchs long-term future in the NFL.Oh God, I think this guys got a brilliant career ahead of him, Kubiak said. Im really excited. Were asking a lot of him. ... Hes a young kid, but Im excited about some of the things I see and Im also excited about things I know we can correct that are going to help him out.But hes a hard worker, hes a good kid. He went in there and protected the ball, which we needed him to do for us to win. Yeah, he can make some more plays. He knows that and I have confidence that he will.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Black China NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China NFL Jerseys China Wholesale NFL Autographed Jerseys Wholesale Throwback Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Online ' ' '
