Calhoun took over the Falcons this year following the retirement of Fisher DeBerry who stepped down after 23 seasons at the academy. Calhoun who was the Mountain West Conference's coach of the year inherited a team that had suffered through three consecutive losing seasons including a 4-8 record in 2006. The program made some significant improvements offensively however averaging 29.4 points and 418.9 yards per game - both second best in the conference. Calhoun also found a better use for senior Chad Hall who was named the conference's offensive player of the year. After initially struggling to find a role for Hall who is listed at 5-foot-8. 180 pounds. Calhoun decided to give him more carries later in the season. The tailback exploded in the final seven games averaging 179.6 yards rushing and scoring 11 of his 14 rushing touchdowns in that stretch. This is the Falcons' first bowl game since losing to Virginia Tech in the 2002 San Francisco Bowl. They are 8-8-1 in bowl games going back to the 1957 season. Cal leads the all-time series against Air Force. 5-2. The Bears won the last meeting 56-14 in 2002.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
