  • The 1970 Air Force Falcons football team represented the United States Air Force Academy as an independent during the 1970 NCAA University Division football season. Led by thirteenth-year head coach Ben Martin, the Falcons compiled a record of 9–3, outscored their opponents 366–239, and finished No. 16 in the AP Poll. They won their first eight games and were ranked seventh in the AP Poll for three weeks. Air Force played their home games at Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This was the last season that Army was off of the Falcons' schedule; the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy was introduced two years later which matched the three academies annually. Previously, Air Force played Army in odd years and Navy in even years. Behind the passing of quarterback Bob Parker, the Falcons' notable wins were over No. 9 Missouri, and No. 6 Stanford, led by Heisman Trophy winner Jim Plunkett. Stanford went on to upset No. 2 Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. For the first time in seven seasons, the Falcons appeared in a bowl game, but lost by 21 points to No. 4 Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on New Year's Day. The favored Volunteers jumped out to a 24–0 lead in the first quarter and the Falcons could not make up the difference. Through the 2021 season, this is the Falcons' most recent appearance in a major bowl game. (en)
