This week's game is the final home game for 15 seniors. The group will be honored prior to the game. Air Force leads the overall series against UNLV, 10-4, including a 5-1 mark at home and a 5-3 road mark. The Falcons have won two straight and six of the last seven games in the series. Air Force has won three straight at home since a 34-10 UNLV win in 2001, including a 31-14 victory in 2007. The Falcons defeated UNLV, 29-28, last season in Las Vegas. Air Force and UNLV each won home games last week. The Falcons defeated service academy rival Army, 35-7, while UNLV beat Colorado State, 35-16.

Air Force is 13-4 at home over the last three seasons which is the fourth-best three-year run in school history and best since 1998-2000 when the team was 14-3. Air Force is bowl-eligible for the third straight year. This season is the first time since 2003 that Air Force has been bowl-eligible three consecutive years. If the Falcons are selected for a bowl game this season, it would mark the first time since 1990-92 the team appeared in a bowl game three straight years.

Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun discussed the game and Air Force's season at his weekly teleconference this week at the Air Force Academy.
