COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - For his record-breaking performance vs. Colorado State, senior z-wide receiver Chad Hall was named Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Week for games through Oct. 15, anonunced today by the conference office. Hall earned the conference player of the week honor for the second consecutive week.

Hall recorded a school record 256 yards rushing yards on a career-high 31 carries (8.26 yards per carry) in Air Force's 45-21 win at Colorado State. Hall broke the previous Academy record of 249 yards by quarterback Dee Dowis vs. San Diego State in 1989 and is the first Falcon with 200-plus yards rushing since Beau Morgan had 217 yards against Fresno State in 1996. Hall has recorded back-to-back 100-yard games for the first time of his career, as he notched 169 yards last week vs. UNLV. He is the first Falcon with back-to-back 100-yard games since quarterback Adam Fitch vs. Army and San Diego State in 2004. Hall is the first non-quarterback with back-to-back 100-yard games since fullback Jason Jones against Colorado State and Utah in 1991. Hall also recorded his third straight multiple-touchdown game. Hall rushed for a career-best four touchdowns against the Rams. The 256 yards rushing is the third most by any player in the nation so far this season.

Hall joins Russell Allen (San Diego State), Beau Bell (UNLV) and Louie Sakoda (Utah) as MWC players of the week. Allen and Bell were co-defensive players of the week and Sakoda received the special teams recognition.
