AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- Weston Steelhammer watched the first half from the locker room. No doubt, Navy wishes he wouldve stayed put.Suspended for a half because of a targeting penalty the week before, the Air Force senior safety provided a second-half spark for a defense that was already playing lights out.Steelhammer led a dominating defensive effort , tailback Tim McVey scored twice, including a 62-yard TD catch, and Air Force beat Navy 28-14 on Saturday to take a big step toward claiming the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy.Jalen Robinette had five catches for 163 yards for Air Force (4-0), which extended its home winning streak to 15 straight. His 75-yard TD catch late in the third quarter broke open the game.The Midshipmen (3-1) averted a shutout on a 6-yard TD run by Shawn White with 8:33 remaining. The option-oriented team finished with more yards passing (260) than rushing (57). For that matter, so did Air Force (257 yards passing, 173 on the ground).Weve got plenty of growing to do, Air Force coach Troy Calhoun said. Not that this wasnt a good step, because it certainly was.Steelhammer sat out the first half after being disqualified for a targeting call in the third quarter last weekend at Utah State. All dressed up and nowhere to go, he watched the opening half from the locker room, but soon made his presence felt by picking off a Will Worth pass with Navy driving in the third quarter. He had another late in the game.The guys out there did a great job in the first half of keeping us in it, Steelhammer said. I didnt want to be too much of a distraction coming back.No worry about that. Hes the leader of a unit that had six sacks, eight tackles for loss, a fumble recovery and held a Navy team averaging 316.3 yards rushing to just 57.There are still a lot of things we kind of goofed up, said Brodie Hicks, who had a blocked punt in the second quarter. But we definitely had a really good game.Heres a stat that bodes well for Air Force: The previous 19 winners of this game have gone on to win the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy, which represents superiority among the three service academies. The Falcons need only to beat Army on Nov. 5 to earn the trophy. If the teams all finish 1-1 in the round-robin competition, the previous winner -- Navy -- retains the prize.They got after us, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. I was really impressed with Air Force. I thought they played a really good game.The first half was ruled by defense with the only score a field goal. A surprise, too, given that Air Force and Navy came in averaging a combined 906 yards per game.Air Force began to pull away in the third quarter when McVey scored on a 1-yard plunge. Robinette soon followed with his TD catch from Nate Romine, who finished 8 of 14 for a career-high 257 yards and two scores.POLL IMPLICATIONSAir Force will definitely receive some votes this week. The Falcons havent appeared in the AP poll since 2010.However, its hardly on their mind.Its great to talk about all those rankings and numbers, Romine said. But all that matters is who you have next week and how you prepare for them.QUITE A GRABRobinette was impressed by McVeys one-handed, spinning catch . So much so that hes going to add it to his list of plays.Im still in shock about it, Robinette said.THE TAKEAWAYNAVY: The Midshipmen had a 19-game win streak against unranked opponents snapped. Just couldnt get their vaunted rushing attack on track.AIR FORCE: Off to a 4-0 start for the first time since 2003. The Falcons relied on a defense that recorded six sacks, eight tackles for loss and forced a fumble.UP NEXTNAVY: Host a Houston squad led by Heisman Trophy hopeful Greg Ward Jr., who accounted for five touchdowns in a 42-14 win over Connecticut on Thursday.We have a top-5 team coming into our stadium next week so lick our wounds and move on, Niumatalolo said.AIR FORCE: Travel to Wyoming next Saturday.

Fernando Llorente Jersey . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Rattlers should have a big home field advantage when they play the Philadelphia Soul in the Arena Bowl on Friday night.Except they arent really at home.The Rattlers are 48-4 at Talking Stick Resort Arena, their home in downtown Phoenix known as the Snake Pit.But the WNBAs Phoenix Mercury have a game scheduled there Friday night. ESPN, which will televise the Arena Bowl, didnt want to move to another date. The Mercury wouldnt budge either.So it was off to the suburbs and Gila River Arena, home of the NHLs Arizona Coyotes.Ron Jaworski, ESPN NFL analyst and ex-NFL quarterback, is majority owner of the Soul. He said moving the game means absolutely nothing.The fields the same, he said. Theyve got great fans.Jaworski is a vociferous supporter of the Arena game, a fast and furious, high-scoring affair.I find it somewhat remarkable that it hasnt got more traction, he said.Teams have come and gone in the 29-year history of the league. Last seasons champions, the San Jose Sabercats, finished with a 17-1 record. But last November, arena league Commissioner Scott Butera announced the Sabercats were disbanding for reasons other than league operations.Currently, there are eight teams divided into two divisions.The league is fine, Jaworski said. Its stabilized over the last two years. The new commissioner has done a magnificent job of stabilizing the future of the league. Hes gotten rid of all the guys who really didnt understand the business of football and how we grow the league.No franchise has had more success than Arizona. If the Rattlers win Friday night, they will set a league record of six Arena Bowl titles. It would be their fourth championship in five years.dddddddddddd This is their 10th Arena Bowl appearance since joining the league in 1992.Jaworski calls the Rattlers the gold standard in the league.Friday nights game will feature the leagues best quarterbacks. The Rattlers Nick Davila was named league MVP on Thursday, becoming the first player in league history to win the award three times. He also is a two-time Arena Bowl MVP. Philadelphia quarterback Dan Raudabaugh was league MVP last year.Arizonas general manager and head coach Kevin Guy was named coach of the year Thursday.The Soul beat the Rattlers for the first time -- in their seventh try -- in Philadelphia this season. The Rattlers havent lost since, beating the Soul in Arizona a month later.Dick Vermeil recently joined the Soul ownership group.Jaworski said he and his old coach sit together at games and marvel at the quarterbacks.He said, `Now I know how Kurt Warner got so darned good at getting the ball out of his hand and processing information quickly and throwing from different platforms, Jaworski said. Youve got to think fast in this game.Warner is the biggest name to emerge from the Arena league. Unable to find a job in the NFL, he played for the now-defunct Iowa Barnstormers from 1995 to 1997. He was a two-time all-league quarterback and led his team to two Arena Bowl appearances.The Rattlers intercepted Warner twice while beating the Barnstormers for their first Arena Bowl title in 1997.Warner left for the NFL, where he led teams to three Super Bowls, winning one, and earning two NFL MVPs.He is in the Arena league Hall of Fame.
