Today the President congratulated the Fighting Falcons of the United States Air Force Academy on winning their Commander-in-Chief trophy–the second win and a row, and their 18th of all time.
The team had to fight hard the whole season, and its seniors distinguished themselves as some of the most talented in school history. Brady Amack and Jon Davis put together the sixth-ranking passing defense in the country. Asher Clark led the nation’s third-best rushing attack. Tim Jefferson will graduate as the winningest Air Force quarterback of all time and the first quarterback in service academy history to lead his team to four consecutive bowl games.
