Air Force rides Kemper Hodges, Evan Medders to 24-3 victory over San Jose State

Kemper Hodges finished with two touchdown runs and Evan Medders added an 81-yarder to end a dominant second quarter as Air Force rolled to a 24-3 victory over San Jose State

1 HOUR AGO • Associated Press

Eased into action in Week 10 Medders (toe) completed 6 of 8 passes for 84 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-21 win over Army. He also had 13 rushes for 59 yards with one touchdown.

Impact For the first time this season, Medders has logged a passing touchdown and a rushing TD in the same game. The quarterback's eight passing attempts are a season-high, but his relatively low 13 carries suggest he was eased into action Saturday. Nonetheless, Medders is healthy and will attempt to increase his workload in Week 11 against San Jose State. Medders' 86 carries for 549 yards and seven rushing TDs make him one of college football's best running quarterbacks.

Inactive Week 9 Medders (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against UConn, The Scarlet Standard Staff reports.

Impact Medders will sit out Saturday with turf toe, an injury that prompted his exit from last weekend's game against Wyoming. The 5-foot-11 sophomore has reportedly avoided a fracture per earlier reporting from Brent Briggeman of The Colorado Springs Gazette, but his status moving forward remains unclear.

Not starting versus UConn Medders (undisclosed) will not start during Saturday's game against UConn, Brent Briggeman of The Colorado Springs Gazette reports.

Impact Medders will give way to Howard Fisher after suffering an undisclosed injury in Week 8. The 5-foot-11 sophomore has appeared in six games this fall throwing for 92 yards (8-of-14) and two touchdowns, adding on 490 yards and six touchdowns with his legs. Medders has yet to be ruled out for the contest, but it remains unclear if he will come in off the bench or not.

Absent from depth chart Medders (undisclosed) isn't on Air Force's depth chart ahead of Week 9 against UConn, per Brent Briggeman of The Colorado Springs Gazette.

Impact Medders isn't included on the Falcons' initial depth chart, and while that doesn't rule him out yet, it's certainly an early indication that he won't be available for Air Force. If that's indeed the case, Josh Johnson figures to continue to hold down the QB1 role against the Huskies.

OCTOBER 24 • Associated Press

Avoids fracture Medders' injury is not a fracture, Air Force coach Troy Calhoun said Friday, according to Brent Briggeman of The Gazette in Colorado Springs.

Impact Medders' status remains unclear until Air Force provides more information. Any absence would be notable after he recently took over at quarterback for the Falcons. If he's forced to miss time, Josh Johnson could be in line to get more snaps under center.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.

SEPTEMBER 5 • Associated Press

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.
