Sylas Maiava-Alaimalo - DNP Saturday Maiava-Alaimalo (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 41-18 win over UNLV.

Impact Maiava-Alaimalo, who was deemed questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against UNLV, missed his second consecutive contest. The wideout will aim to recover and potentially suit up against Wyoming on Friday.

Rocco Conti - Tops 100 yards in victory Conti totaled 12 rushes for 103 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 41-31 win over UNLV.

Impact While he ranked third on the team in carries behind Owen Allen and quarterback Evan Medders, Conti managed to eclipse the 100-yard mark for the first time this year, as he averaged a team-high 8.6 yards per carry. It was a nice bounce-back showing for Conti, who totaled just 55 yards on 14 carries in his last two games. Overall, the senior is up to 318 yards with a pair of touchdowns on 51 carries across six contests this season.

Owen Allen - Productive again vs. UNLV Allen posted 19 rushes for 96 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 41-31 victory over UNLV.

Impact Allen has now rushed for 196 yards and three touchdowns in his last two contests after totaling just 138 yards and no scores on 43 carries in his first four games this year. Allen, who led Air Force with 19 carries Saturday, will likely lead the backfield again next week on the road against Wyoming.

Evan Medders - Rushes for three scores in win Medders completed 2 of 3 passes for 18 yards during Saturday's 41-31 victory over UNLV. He also had 18 rushes for 152 yards with three touchdowns.

Impact In two games since taking over under center for the Falcons, Medders has rushed for 266 yards and five touchdowns on 34 attempts in back-to-back Air Force wins. The sophomore will look to keep things rolling next week in a road matchup against Wyoming.

Sylas Maiava-Alaimalo - Questionable to play Maiava-Alaimalo (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against UNLV.

Impact Maiava-Alaimalo missed his first game of the year last weekend and his status is now up in the air once again. He's had just four touches in four games this season and likely will hold a limited role if active.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Owen Allen - Reaches 100 yards in victory Allen recorded 13 rushes for 100 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 28-7 win against Northern Illinois.

Impact It was a breakout game for Allen, who was held to just 138 yards on 43 carries with no touchdowns in his first four games this year. The senior opened the scoring in the first quarter Saturday with a three-yard score before breaking off a 33-yard touchdown run in the second half. With starting quarterback Liam Szarka (lower leg) out for the season, expect Allen's role to increase in an Air Force offense that did not attempt a pass in Saturday's win.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Evan Medders - Leads Air Force past UNI Medders had 16 rushes for 114 yards with two touchdowns in Saturday's 28-7 victory over Northern Illinois.

Impact Making his first start in place of Liam Szarka (lower leg), Medders did not attempt a pass though he certainly showed off his prowess on the ground, averaging 7.1 yards per rushing attempt while punching in a pair of scores. With Szarka out for the season, Medders will lead the Falcons' triple-option attack again next week in what figures to be a tougher home matchup with UNLV.

Sylas Maiava-Alaimalo - Out Saturday Maiava-Alaimalo (undisclosed) is unavailable for Saturday's contest at Northern Illinois.

Impact Maiava-Alaimalo will not be able to suit up Saturday and contribute to the passing attack. In four appearances this season, the wideout has hauled in two receptions for 34 yards, with both catches coming against North Dakota State in Week 2. He will aim to return in Week 7 against UNLV.

Evan Medders - Likely starter going forward Medders was 0-for-1 passing during Saturday's 14-9 win against Navy. He also had five rushes for 30 yards.

Impact Medders saw limited action in Saturday's victory, though it certainly looks like the sophomore will be Air Force's starter going forward with Liam Szarka (lower body) ruled out for the season. Medders has appeared in three games so far this season, completing three of his seven pass attempts for 47 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 109 yards and a score on 18 carries.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Liam Szarka - Done for 2026 Szarka (lower leg) is out for the remainder of the season, per Brent Briggeman of The Colorado Springs Gazette.

Impact In a somewhat shocking announcement, Air Force announced its star quarterback Szarka is done for the year four games into the 2026 campaign. He was in the midst of a highly productive season with 296 passing yards and a score in addition to his 391 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. Evan Medders looks primed to step into the QB1 role for the Falcons.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Liam Szarka - Leads ground attack vs. Navy Szarka completed 6 of 11 passes for 82 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 14-9 win against Navy. He also had 25 rushes for 81 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact Szarka's had some struggles in the passing game of late, throwing four interceptions and just one touchdown in his last three games. However, he's certainly made up for it with his production on the ground, rushing for 340 yards with five touchdowns in that span. Szarka and the Falcons will visit NIU next week, where they'll look to improve to 2-1 in conference play.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Jonah Dawson - Paces receivers in win Dawson (undisclosed) hauled in three receptions on four targets for 39 yards during Saturday's 14-9 win over Army.

Impact Dawson led Air Force's receiving corps, recording a team-high three targets and 39 yards. It marked the first statistics the wideout has recorded after seeing just two targets previously.
