FORT COLLINS, Colorado (Ticker) -- Pete Rebstock's 73-yard kickoff return set up Henri Childs' one-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter as Colorado State posted a 28-21 Mountain West Conference victory over Air Force. Rebstock's return gave Colorado State possession at the Air Force 27 and the Rams needed five plays to snap a 21-21 tie on Childs' TD plunge with 6:46 remaining. The win kept alive Colorado State's hopes for an eighth consecutive winning season under coach Sonny Lubick. The Rams 5-5, 4-2 MVC) close their campaign at New Mexico on November 17. Quarterback Keith Boyea rushed for 188 yards and scored all three touchdowns for Air Force (5-4, 2-3), which saw its bowl hopes suffer a serious blow. The Falcons have three games remaining against Nevada-Las Vegas, Hawaii and Utah. Duan Ruff rushed for 111 yards on 19 carries for Colorado State, including TD runs of 12 and one yard in the first quarter that gave the Rams a 14-0 lead. Air Force closed to 14-7 on Boyea's two-yard TD run with 2:21 left in the first half, then tied it on Boyea's 14-yard TD scamper 4:51 into the second half. Colorado State grabbed a 21-14 lead when cornerback Jason Gallimore returned a blocked punt 30 yards for a score with 4:39 left in the third period. Air Force pulled even again on Boyea's eight-yard TD run with 9:27 to play. Boyea also completed 13-of-22 passes for 122 yards. After Childs' score, the Falcons kept possession for more than five minutes. But the drive stalled when Boyea was sacked for an 11-yard loss on 4th-and 12 from the Colorado State 23. Bradlee Van Pelt attempted just eight passes for the Rams, but completed six for 116 yards.
