Synopsis: B-Dawg discovered a player who could go down as one of his all-time greats in sophomore running back Kadin Remsberg. Remsberg, whose 95 SPD made for mismatches against Mountain West Conference competition, set a school record with 1,406 receiving yards. B-Dawg transformed Air Force from a running team to a passing team, with the Falcons throwing for 4,125 yards. After a 3-4 start, Air Force won four straight games to secure a bowl bid. They were successful in that game, beating Eastern Michigan on a 5-yard catch by Geraud Sanders with 30 seconds left in the Military Bowl. Defense was a major concern for the Falcons, who allowed at least 30 points seven times.

Synopsis: B-Dawg missed a bowl game for the first time since his first season at Eastern Michigan in NCAA ’08, with all seven of his losses coming by seven points or less. Air Force lost its final three games, needing just one victory to clinch a bowl berth. Three of those losses were in overtime games during a four-game stretch around midseason. Turnovers in clutch situations doomed the Falcons. On the bright side, B-Dawg did have fun running up video game numbers with speedy halfback Kadin Remsberg, not as a runner, but as a receiver. Remsberg hauled in 82 passes for 1,502 yards. He has one season remaining, so B-Dawg will milk him as much as possible.

Synopsis: Air Force cracked the top 25 for the first time, getting as high as No. 24 before losing 47-23 to Memphis in the Poinsettia Bowl. This season marked the swan song for the three greatest players in this dynasty so far, as quarterback Donald Hammond, running back Kadin Remsberg and defensive end Jordan Jackson continued to pile up numbers and raise the expectations for the program. The team hit a big-time low when Colorado State beat the Falcons 72-40, the most points ever allowed by a B-Dawg team in any version of NCAA Football. That was Air Force’s second straight loss, but the team responded with seven straight victories before losing in the bowl game.

Synopsis: Junior running back Trey Taylor emerged from the shadows of Kadin Remsberg to win the first Heisman Trophy in Air Force history. The Falcons had a chance to do some really special things as a team, facing Boy-Z State in a showdown of 6-0 teams. However, Air Force blew a 28-7 halftime lead in a 41-31 loss to a team that would go on to win the Fiesta Bowl over Oklahoma. This was the first season post-Remsberg, meaning Air Force would need to find ways to win without chucking it deep to the speedy running back against mismatches at the first sign of trouble. With a 10-3 record, the Falcons did OK without Remsberg and fellow stars from the original roster Donald Hammond and Jordan Jackson, as seven players had at least 200 receiving yards and six had at least 32 catches.

Synopsis: It took five years, but B-Dawg finally got Air Force to a Mountain West Conference championship game, winning the title with a 42-33 victory over a UNLV team the Falcons trounced 52-14 two games earlier. The championship was nice, but the highlight of the season was a 23-17 victory at Boy-Z State, a perennial conference power that was 4-0 against Air Force until this season. Losses to Wyoming and San Diego State kept this from being a truly special season in Colorado Springs, but that just leaves more room for growth in the future. Trey Taylor actually had a better season than he did when he won the Heisman Trophy in 2021, but he didn’t get an invite to the Downtown Athletic Club, much less a second bronze statue. Freshman Jared Mann took away some of his goal-line touchdowns, so that may have made the difference.

It was the one that got away that will haunt the 2023 Falcons, however. They were cruising along against Utah State, holding a 24-point third-quarter lead, but blew it in a 47-44 midseason loss. Air Force bounced back to move into No. 2 in the BCS rankings heading into conference champioinship week, won its game, but got bumped by Auburn for the berth in the national championship game. This was the dawn of the Chad Rice era at quarterback. The freshman signal caller threw for 3,225 yards and 16 touchdowns, putting him in a position to eventually break all of Air Force’

Synopsis: Air Force’s bid for a third straight Mountain West Conference championship was thwarted by Fresno State in the league title game. The 42-40 loss was the Falcons’ second loss of the season to the Bulldogs, marking only the third time B-Dawg has lost to the same team twice in the same season since he officially began his coaching career in NCAA 2004. Air Force was able to overcome a major blow when starting running back Jared Mann suffered a season-ending injury in his second carry of the year. Marion Benjamin stepped in and used his speed to finish second in the Heisman Trophy balloting. Mann and Benjamin will both be back in 2025.

Synopsis: The only thing that kept Air Force from playing for the national championwhip was a 34-31 loss at Texas in the second game of the season. The Longhorns won that game on an 8-yard touchdown pass with six seconds remaining. The Falcons won their final 12 games, but couldn't crack the top two in the BCS. As a nice consolation prize, Air Force went to the Sugar Bowl for the second time in three seasons, beating Virginia Tech. Halfback Jared Mann won the Heisman Trophy one year after suffering a season-ending injury on his second carry of the year. J.B. White set an all-time B-Dawg record for receptions in a season with 127 and strong safety DeAndre McCollum set a B-Dawg single-season record with 123 tackles. Making his tackle total even more impressive is that the second-leading tackler on the team had only 66.

Synopsis: Halfway through the regular season, Air Force was 3-3 and looking like a team that would battle just to get a bowl berth in its first season in the Pac-12 Conference. In a pivotal moment in the season, the Falcons made a 2-point conversion in the second overtime to beat UCLA in Game 7. Had they been stopped on that run by third-string halfback Justin Brown, the season could have been a disaster. Instead, the victory jump-started an eight-game winning streak that culminated with a 31-28 victory over Wisconsin in the national championship game in the Rose Bowl. Every national championship hopeful lost at least two games in 2026, opening the door for Air Force to grab the No. 2 spot in the final BCS rankings after falling to No. 22 in the coaches' poll following its 3-3 start. Quarterback Chad Rice (13,701 passing yards), J.B. White (297 catches) and DeAndre McCollum (422 tackles) finished their four-year careers with all-time records for a B-Dawg player.

Synopsis: Air Force had its first perfect season while repeating as national champion, only the second time B-Dawg has won back-to-back natties in a coaching career that goes back to NCAA 2004. He did it at Michigan in the 2009 and 2010 seasons of NCAA 2005. It was a record-setting year for quarterback Brandon Blount, who benefited from a great receiving corps. Freshman Paul Gibbons emerged as the star of this dynasty for at least the next three seasons, setting an all-time B-Dawg record with 20 touchdown catches. Blount finished third in Heisman Trophy voting. Even though Air Force had a perfect record, the Falcons had to rally from deficits of at least 14 points four times. The Falcons trailed 14-0 in the first quarter against Notre Dame, 31-16 in the third quarter against Oregon, 28-7 in the second quarter against Arizona, and 21-7 in the first quarter and 38-28 in the fourth against Stanford in the Pac-12 championship game.

Synopsis: B-Dawg won his third straight national championship, a first in a coaching career that dates back to his time at Michigan in NCAA 2004. The Falcons ended the season with a 36-game winning streak, the longest in B-Dawg's coaching career. Unlike the unbeaten 2027 team, which had to rally from four deficits of at least 14 points, the Falcons were dominant all season. Their closest games were 35-27 over USC and 31-21 over Navy in back-to-back weeks early in the season. Air Force won nine of the 16 college football awards, but quarterback Brandon Hester was only second in the closest Heisman Trophy vote in history. Florida State quarterback Antoine Williams edged Hester by a 1,327 to 1,324 margin in voting points. Hester became the first B-Dawg quarterback to reach 50 touchdown passes, finishing with 55. Until Brandon Blount threw for 49 in 2027, B-Dawg never had a quarterback with more than 35. Sophomore Paul Gibbons broke his own record for touchdown catches by a B-Dawg player with 21.

Synopsis: Air Force's run of three straight national championships ended, not on the field, but at the ballot box. The Falcons had the No. 2 spot in the BCS rankings heading into the Pac-12 championship game, which they won 48-28 over Oregon State. But Iowa vaulted from No. 3 to No. 1 in the final BCS rankings, bumping Air Force to No. 3. The Falcons had to "settle" for a rematch of the previous season's national championship game against Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl. Air Force won its final 13 games after losing its opener at Alabama, 33-31, on a last-second field goal. B-Dawg held out hope for the first split national championship of the BCS era, but the media poll actually gave Auburn a larger margin over Air Force than the coaches' poll, which is obligated to put the winner of the BCS championship game No. 1. Brandon Hester won the Heisman Trophy after a narrow loss the previous year, becoming the first B-Dawg quarterback to eclipse 5,000 passing yards with 5,025.

Synopsis: After winning the Pac-12 Conference championship in its first four seasons in the league, Air Force was in for a shocker this time around. Oregon jumped out to a 37-0 halftime lead in a 58-44 victory in the Pac-12 championship game. The loss ended the national championship hopes for the Falcons, who were ranked No. 2 in the BCS at the time. They fell hard, getting an Alamo Bowl berth against Kansas instead of a shot at the natty or at least an appearance in the Rose Bowl. Senior receiver Paul Gibbons became only the fourth four-time first-team All-American coached by B-Dawg, completing his remarkable career with NCAA records of 428 catches for 6,200 yards and 84 touchdowns.
