The Air Force Falcons are a Division I FBS Football team based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Initially founded in 1955, Air Force has an overall record of 422–340–13. While their service academy counterparts Army and Navy have fielded football teams going back to the late 19th Century, the Air Force Academy based in Colorado is a relatively-newer football program, which also has a “Junior Varsity” team, something that most colleges used to have for football and basketball during the early 20th Century. All in all, it had largely phased out because, over time, those programs eventually allowed freshman players to start with the “Varsity” team.
