Air Force controls Army to end 7-game skid

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- Finally given the opportunity to separate himself from the other Air Force tailbacks, Anthony LaCoste ran with it. And ran and ran and ran. LaCoste rushed for a career-high 263 yards and scored three touchdowns, helping the Falcons snap a seven-game skid by holding off Army 42-28 on Saturday. It was the second-most yards rushing for a program that's known for its ground game. He was just shy of the school record held by Chad Hall, who had 275 yards against Army in 2007. The elusive LaCoste also had long TD runs of 73 and 78 yards, along with a 1-yard burst early in the fourth quarter to give the Falcons (2-7) a two-touchdown lead over the Black Knights (3-6). "It was a beautiful day for football and I just went off," LaCoste said, smiling.
