"If your linebackers are always laying on the ground you've got a real problem rallying to the ball." As usual, Air Force is second in the conference in rushing, averaging 269.8 yards per game. Individually, Cash ranks fifth among the WAC's leading ballcarriers. The Falcons are averaging 25.5 points a game, compared to 3 1 for the Cowboys.
Wyoming, which will be trying to stop a two-game losing streak against the Falcons, has relied on a balanced offensive attack during its current three-game winning streak. Quarterback Joe Hughes averages 252.3 passing yards each outing, while the Pokes' running game is recording 137.8 yards per clip. Fullback Ryan Christopherson has held down much of the rushing duties, earning 80.3 yards a game. Air Force's biggest weakness has been passing defense, particularly in its last two games. The Falcons are allowing the opposition an average of 294 aerial yards, and Brigham Young shredded Air Force with 494 passing yards in last weekend's 30-3 victory.
Tiller said he will resist the temptation to institute an all-out aerial attack. "We gotta be able to run it some in order to throw it and I don't think that'll change for us," the coach said. "I think the fact that they've given up yardage the way they have in the last couple of ball-games would lend one to believe that you need to throw it so that you can run it. "But we're gonna try to maintain some sort of balance out there and not get too far off of what we've been pretty well." Today's Probable Lineups Offense Mecklenburg: Eliminate kicks DENVER (AP) Denver Broncos linebacker Karl Mecklenburg wants to kick the foot out of football. Kickers have decided more NFL games than usual this season, and Mecklenburg is disturbed by the trend.
If it were his game, he'd give them all the boot. John Carney has scored all of San Diego's, points in its two wins, and Nick Lowery did the same in Kansas City's 15-7 victory over NFL Notebook the Broncos. All NFL kickers have combined to connect on 165 of 205 field-goal attempts, an all-time high of 80.5 percent. "I've always maintained that football would be a lot more fun if they just eliminated all the kicking and punting," Mecklenburg said Thursday. "It would be a better game if it was just four downs, back and forth.
Start with the ball on the 20 at the beginning of the game and see who scores more. "'It just seems kind of strange to me that you're out there killing yourself for 60 minutes and then some guy with no dirt on his uniform comes in to kick the ball and decide the game." RING OF FAME INDUCTEE: The best cornerback in Denver Broncos' history spends his afternoons helping coach the Denver East High School football team and his evenings studying to get a teaching certificate. All Louis Wright wants out of life is to make a difference. "If you're coaching high-school football for a living, you're probably starving to death," said Wright with a laugh. Wright, 40, will be inducted into the Broncos' Ring of Fame on Sunday.
INJURED GET BETTER: Nose tackle Greg Kragen, tight end Shannon Sharpe and center Keith Kartz all had good practices Thursday, and Denver Broncos coach Wade Phillips said he was encouraged that all three will play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Kragen has missed the last two games, with a torn muscle in his right arch. Sharpe has been hobbled by ankle and elbow injuries, and Kartz has a strained calf Wyoming Cowboys Mike Jones, 6 2, 238, Sr. Mike Fitzgerald, 6-3, 266, Sr. Jarrod Heidemann, Sr.

OILER OWNER SPOUTS: Houston Oilers owner Bud Adams, whose team is off to a 1-3 start, says he believes some players have too many outside activities during the season. "They have to get their off-field commitments off their backs so we can start playing football," Adams said. "It's fine for charity functions and all that. But, my gosh, these guys are getting paid enough so they can spend all their time on football.
They can do all the charity things they want to do when the season's over. They have too many functions going on. They need to be thinking about football." CHIEF RELEASED: Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Dale Carter was arrested and released following a shootout outside a nightclub. Carter and two passengers were in a truck about 1:30 a.m. when fired upon.
One man in the truck be returned fire. No one was injured. An altercation broke out between two Carter friends and several patrons in the club. Renauld Shelton was struck in the head with a beer bottle, cutting his head. It was Carter's third scrape with the law this summer.
He was charged with DUI in May and on Aug. 23, on the same corner as the shootout, made an illegal left turn. He failed to pay his ticket, and a warrant for his arrest was issued. FALCONS TALK TO SANDERS: Atlanta Falcons officials opened talks with two-sport star Deion Sanders but reached no conclusions, Sanders' agent said. Falcons president Taylor Smith had lunch with Sanders on Thursday, in the wake of the team's 0-4 start, the worst since 1985.
Sanders is currently playing full-time for baseball's Atlanta Braves. Thursday's meeting came less than two weeks after Smith conceded that the Falcons might not able to afford the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback, given the NFL's pending salary cap. Trappers rally to top Thunderbirds By the Star-Tribune staff POWELL The Northwest College Trappers came from two games down to defeat Casper College in volleyball on Thursday, 5-15, 9-15, 15-7, 15-9, 15-9. Tom Case's squad improved to 19-9 overall with the victory. "Becky Jenkins hit pretty well for us.
