How to Watch North Dakota State vs. Air Force: TV Channel, Live Stream, Live

Jalen Rashad Turner - Gets questionable tag Turner is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against North Dakota State.

Impact Turner was also questionable for the opener and handled one carry. The senior tailback could be a weekly question mark if he continues to play through an undisclosed injury.

Kemper Hodges - Questionable for Saturday Hodges is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against North Dakota State.

Impact Hodges showed some burst in the opener, taking six carries for 72 yards and a score. It's unclear what's hindering him and Friday's participation should be a good indicator of whether he'll end up being able to play or not.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Matt Long - Officially questionable Saturday Long (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game at North Dakota State, per the Mountain West injury report.

Impact Long is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest, a surprising turn of events considering he was carted off the field in the season opener. He was a limited participant in practice on Monday, so there is some reasonable optimism that he could actually play in the Mountain West opener.

Matt Long - Limited practice participant Long (undisclosed) was a limited practice participant for Air Force on Monday although he was expected to give it a full go Tuesday, per Brent Briggeman of the Colorado Springs Gaz...

Impact Long was carted off the field in Air Force's opener against Duquesne, but the receiver appears to be making a quick recovery. The fact that he managed to practice at all is a good sign, although he remains a question mark for Saturday against North Dakota State. Before he was forced to exit the opener, Long tallied one catch for 18 yards and four carries for 33 yards.

Kemper Hodges - Finds end zone in opener Hodges totaled six rushes for 72 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 34-0 win over Duquesne.

Impact While Hodges only totaled six carries Saturday, the fullback finished the day with the second-most rushing yards on the team while opening the scoring with a four-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Hodges appears to have earned a role in a crowded Air Force backfield after he rushed for 207 yards and three touchdowns on 49 attempts last season.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Rocco Conti - Leading rusher in opener Conti had 10 carries for 74 yards during Saturday's 34-0 win over Duquesne.

Impact Conti was one of 18 players to record a rushing attempt for Air Force on Saturday, though the senior ultimately finished the day as the Falcons' leading rusher while tying Owen Allen with a team-high 10 carries. The 5-foot-8 Conti only logged four carries for 24 yards in 2025, though it appears he'll have a substantial role this season, albeit in a very crowded backfield.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Liam Szarka - Rushes for two scores Szarka was 3-for-5 passing for 19 yards during Saturday's 34-0 win versus Duquesne. He also had 13 rushes for 51 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact After missing Air Force's final two games last year with an injury, Szarka picked up where he left off in the 2026 opener, rushing for a pair of scores en route to a decisive victory. In 10 games last season, Szarka completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 1,294 yards, nine touchdowns and five interceptions, while rushing for 922 yards and 13 scores. Szarka and the Falcons will open conference play in Week 2 when they host North Dakota State.

Air Force opens season with 431 rushing yards in 34-0 win over Duquesne

Quarterback Liam Szarka had two rushing touchdowns and 17 players combined for 431 rushing yards in Air Force’s 34-0 season-opening win over FCS-opponent Duquesne

SEPTEMBER 5 • Associated Press

Jalen Rashad Turner - Tallies one carry Turner (undisclosed) compiled one rush for nine yards during Saturday's 34-0 victory over Duquesne.

Impact Turner was a question mark for Air Force heading into Week 1, and while the tailback managed to play, he only logged one yard. The Falcons blew out FCS Duquesne easily, though, so it's not as easy to draw workload and carry distribution conclusions.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Matt Long - Carted off Saturday Long (undisclosed) was carted off with an injury during Saturday's game for Air Force, according to Brent Briggeman of The Colorado Springs Gazette.

Impact Long was helped off the field Saturday after suffering an undisclosed injury significant enough for him to be carted away. Before exiting in the fourth quarter, the wideout hauled in one reception for 18 yards.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Evan Medders - Set to be backup QB Medders will be Air Force's backup quarterback, per Brent Briggeman of The Denver Gazette.

Impact Medders beat out Josh Johnson and Cade Spradling for the backup duties during fall camp. He will serve as the second-string to starter Liam Szarka and will continue to learn the Falcons' offense while being prepared for an opportunity that could come about.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Rashad Turner - Battling injury, could play Saturday Turner (undisclosed) is battling an ailment but has a shot to play in Week 1 against Duquesne, per Brent Briggeman of The Denver Gazette.

Impact Turner sustained an injury, hence his omission from the Falcons' depth chart after he was previously listed as the No. 2 tailback. However, he has a shot to play in the opener against FCS Duquesne, which should be a great opportunity for Air Force to put up some serious points.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Kemper Hodges - Listed as backup FB Hodges is listed as the backup fullback ahead of Saturday's season opener against Duquesne, according to Air Force's Week 1 depth chart.

Impact Hodges is projected to be involved in Air Force's triple-option offense this season as he switched from quarterback to running back this year. He was used primarily as a rushing option for the Falcons last season, recording 49 attempts for 207 yards and three touchdowns, so he should be set to be a part of the ground attack Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Rocco Conti - Labeled as starter for Week 1 Conti is listed as the starting running back for Saturday's season opener against Duquesne, according to Air Force's Week 1 depth chart.

Impact Conti previously had limited production in two seasons with Air Force, totaling 12 attempts for 43 yards, but now listed as a starter, he should have a big role in the triple-option offense. He will look to lead the backfield as Owen Allen is listed as a starter at fullback but figures to be the primary backup option.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Matt Long - Deemed starter for Falcons Long is listed as a starter on Air Force's Week 1 depth chart.

Impact Long will get a great chance to build on the five carries for 23 yards he notched last fall. The 5-10 wideout will be limited as a receiver by Air Force's triple-option offense, but he should still improve upon his statistics from a quiet 2026. Long appears poised to assume the Cade Harris role from last year's Air Force team, a versatile player who notched 61 carries for 321 yards and 35 catches for 584 yards last fall.

Liam Szarka - Ready to go for 2026 Szarka (arm) indicated that he is feeling healthy and ready to go ahead of the start of the 2026 season, per Hunter Phipps of Fox21 News.

Impact Szarka missed the final two games of the 2025 season due to an arm injury that kept him limited throughout spring practices, but he maintains that he is up to 100 percent ahead of the start of the season. The 5-foot-11 quarterback threw for 1,294 yards and nine touchdowns to five interceptions for the Falcons in 2025 while running for 922 yards and 13 scores on the ground as well.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

Liam Szarka - Throwing in spring ball Szarka (arm) is able to throw in the spring, the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Szarka being able to throw the football again indicates he is making at least some solid progress in the offseason. There is still plenty of time for him to recover before the Air Force's 2026 season begins.
