	BYU 45, Air Force 21 Cougar Stadium Sept. 12, 1981
1981 Season Stats

Sept. 12 - afternoon game (76°, clear) in Cougar Stadium (38,712) The Falcons used a three-man front line with eight defensive backs placed at various locations on the field to stop a flu-ridden Jim McMahon. The ploy worked - in a way. McMahon's longest pass of the day was 25 yards, and he only passed for 226 yards to end his consecutive 300-yard passing streak at 12 games. The running backs, however, caught 20 passes betwee them. And while the BYU offense was adapting to the Falcon "secret weapon," the Cougar defense was playing flawlessly. Air Force only achieved one first down in the first half and a total of 38 yards offense. Only a punt return of 75 yards by Mike Kirby put Air Force on the scoreboard in the first half. BYU now 2-0 and ranked 13th in both polls.
