Asher Clark - RB - Falcons

Following Asher Clark's dismissal from the academy, his father spoke out about how he feels the academy has made an example of his son.

Clark thought he was smoking tobacco and not another substance that was in violation of the academy’s rules. His dismissal took place mere days prior to his scheduled graduation and his father feels Clark is being made an example in what is a zero-tolerance academy policy. Clark completed his playing eligibility last season as the program’s second-leading career rusher with 3,594 yards.

Tim Jefferson - QB - Falcons

Status of Air Force quarterback Tim Jefferson is unknown after he suffered a possible concussion against Wyoming.

Jefferson left in the first quarter of the Falcons’ loss to Wyoming and did not return. Connor Dietz took over and played the rest of the way. Coach Troy Calhoun indicated it may be Wednesday before he knows anything about Jefferson’s availability for Saturday’s game against UNLV. Jefferson has thrown for 1,129 yards and 8 touchdowns and rushed for 373 yards with 9 TDs this season.

Tim Jefferson - QB - Falcons

Air Force quarterback Tim Jefferson practiced on Monday, but coach Troy Calhoun did not state if he would be the starter against Army on Saturday.

Tim Jefferson was removed in the second quarter of a 42-0 win over New Mexico with a facial injury, described previously in the Post as being to the bridge of his nose. Army is coming to Colorado Springs, which means Calhoun will want Jefferson under center from the get-go. A victory gives the Falcons the Commander-in-Chief Trophy for the second straight year. Jefferson has thrown for 1,007 yards, rushed for 298 and totaled 15 touchdowns.

Tim Jefferson - QB - Falcons

Air Force quarterback Tim Jefferson established career highs for yards, completions and attempts against San Diego State.

Jefferson's numbers look surreal compared to most every other stat line in his career at Air Force. Running an option-based attack, it is rare that he would put the ball in the air as many as 15 times in a game. On Thursday night, he was 22-of-36 for 224 yards -- all career highs. He also tied his career high with 2 TD passes. Jefferson had 71 attempts in the first five games this season, including 24 against Notre Dame last week.

Jared Tew - FB - Falcons

Air Force running back Jared Tew (broken leg), wide receiver Kevin Fogler (knee) and safety Brian Lindsay (collarbone) practiced in Wednesday's non-contact workout and proclaimed themselves healthy. “I didn’t really notice it,” Tew said of his injured leg. “I went full speed, and I felt really conditioned today, too. I didn’t feel tired. I felt really good today.”

The coaching staff is being cautiously optimistic about Tew's return for the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl on Dec. 27.  Tew is still considered questionable for the game.

Jared Tew - FB - Falcons

Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun says that the return of injured fullback Jared Tew is "a long shot".  Tew broke his fibula in October and as of last week still had problems pushing off on that leg.

The Falcon offense will go without Tew but they could certainly use him at full strength against a tough Georgia Tech team in the Independence Bowl.

Jared Tew - FB - Falcons

Air Force fullback Jared Tew will be out for the next six weeks after suffering a broken fibula against San Diego State. 

With Tew out, the Falcons could lean more on the legs of running back Asher Clark and quarterback Tim Jefferson the rest of the year.

Jared Tew - FB - Falcons

Air Force fullback Jared Tew had his second straight 100-yard performance, this time against Navy.  While he did not reach the endzone, Tew paced the potent ground attack with 17 carries for 111 yards.

Tew is a consistent performer and will feast upon some of the softer Mountain West defenses.

Kevin Fogler - WR - Falcons

Air Force wide receiver Kevin Fogler will be out until November with a knee injury. 

Fogler is not a fantasy factor but his worth to the Falcons is big as he is a tall receiver who is the main target for quarterback Tim Jefferson.

Jared Tew - FB - Falcons

Air Force ran for 374 yards and three touchdowns as they downed the Wyoming Cowboys.  Fullback Jared Tew led the charge with 27 rushes for 136 yards and a touchdown while quarterback Tim Jefferson and slotback Asher Clark added 94 and 80 yards, respectively.

Tew is healthy and is the driving force behind Air Force's offense.  If he keeps getting those carries, he could be a decent option in deeper leagues.

Jared Tew - FB - Falcons

Air Force running back Jared Tew had 92 yards and a TD on a team-high 21 carries.

Tew is a terrific short-yardage back and a big part of the Air Force offense.  Look for even better numbers against Wyoming next week.

Jared Tew - FB - Falcons

Air Force is hoping that their starting fullback Jared Tew does not have a broken bone in his hand.  If Tew does have a broken bone, he is doubtful to play against Oklahoma.

Losing Tew would be a huge loss as the Falcons look to knock off the Sooners.
