DALLAS -- Jalen Robinette and the Air Force Falcons havent even led since a win over service academy rival Navy that had them unbeaten and maybe thinking about a national ranking.Now its just about survival in the Mountain West Conference.Teriyon Gipson rushed for 140 yards with a touchdown and caught a pass for another score, leading New Mexico to a 45-40 victory over Air Force on Saturday.The Falcons (4-2, 1-2 Mountain West) lost their second straight, and have trailed from the opening minutes to the finish both times after a 35-26 loss at Wyoming a week earlier.When we were 4-0, there was a lot of hype going around, said Robinette, who had his third straight 100-yard receiving game. Came up short twice, but those are the ones that hurt because youre right there. With the group we have, we keep our heads up.Playing at the historic Cotton Bowl not far from his Dallas high school, Gipson ran 60 yards down the sideline on an option pitch to give the Lobos (3-3, 2-1) a 14-3 lead in the first quarter.The neutral site game at the Texas state fair featured teams with a combined 51 players from the Lone Star State, including 17 starters.I always dreamed about playing in the Cotton Bowl, watching Texas-OU, being from Dallas, its right up the street, Gipson said. My first time playing in it, I wanted to make it memorable.Nate Romine threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns for the Falcons.New Mexicos nation-leading rushing offense had 373 yards against an Air Force defense that was No. 2 nationally against the run and had allowed 401 yards all season coming in.The teams combined for 974 yards -- 443 for New Mexico and 531 for Air Force -- and eight scoring drives of 70-plus yards.But both defenses stiffened in the fourth quarter, when the Lobos had just 9 yards rushing and punted four times. Romine was sacked three times after halftime, and Air Force stalled twice in the final 3 1/2 minutes when a touchdown would have put the Falcons ahead.When you know its going to be a shootout game type like that, youve just got to buckle down and know that weve got to score every drive, said Jacobi Owens, who led Air Force with 106 yards rushing. Sadly at the end, we didnt score every drive.Lamar Jordan had a career-high two touchdown passes for the ground-oriented Lobos. After a 12-yarder to Gipson midway through the second quarter, he floated one to a wide-open Q Drennan for a 45-yard score . It was one of the nine plays of 30-plus yards in the game.Robinette finished with season highs of seven catches for 182 yards, including a 53-yard score .Tyrone Owens had a career-high 126 yards rushing and a touchdown for the Lobos, who got two rushing TDs from Richard McQuarley.STAYING NEUTRALIt was actually the third neutral site game between these schools from neighboring western states. Two of the first three games in the series were played in Denver in 1957 and 1959, just up the road from Air Forces Colorado Springs campus. The high-scoring game came 57 years after Air Force played one of two scoreless ties in the Cotton Bowl game, against TCU.GAME HELMETAfter the game, Gipson handed his helmet to 8-year-old nephew Marcell Gipson Jr., one of several family members in attendance. Thats my biggest fan, Gipson said. Hes been watching me since high school, middle school. He called my name all the time on the sidelines so after the game I had to go show him some love.THE TAKEAWAYNew Mexico: The Lobos bounced back strong from a blowout loss to No. 15 Boise State and might have taken a big step toward a second straight bowl season under fifth-year coach Bob Davie.Air Force: The Falcons might have been thinking about making a run for the Top 25 after improving to 4-0 with a win over Navy, which handed No. 13 Houston its first loss a week later. But consecutive Mountain West losses have changed their outlook.UP NEXTNew Mexico: Home against Louisiana-Monroe next Saturday.Air Force: Home against Hawaii next Saturday.---This story corrects previous versions to show 9 yards rushing in the fourth quarter for New Mexico instead of 10 and 182 yards receiving for Jalen Robinette instead of 169.Cheap Football Jerseys Authentic .

Wholesale Football Jerseys OnlineFootball Jerseys Sale .com) - Manchester City midfielder David Silva is expected to miss the next four weeks because of a calf problem.Perth Glory coach Kenny Lowe insists it was the right decision to substitute star striker Adam Taggart and import Diego Castro despite watching his A-League team crash to a 3-3 draw with Central Coast at nib Stadium.Glory were cruising at 3-0 up at halftime following a brace from Taggart and a 35th-minute penalty to Castro on Saturday.Taggart, who had endured two injury-plagued years in Europe before sustaining an ankle issue during the pre-season, was subbed off in the 63rd minute with Perth still holding a commanding 3-1 lead.Glory had a two-goal lead when Castro exited the game in the 78th minute.But from there the wheels fell off in dramatic fashion.A bizarre own goal from Glory goalkeeper Liam Reddy in the 84th minute ensured for a nervy finish, and the Mariners snatched a point when ODonovan converted a penalty in the 86th.Reddys own goal occurred when the ball cannoned into him and back into the net after an attempted goal-line clearance from defender Marc Warren.Lowe admitted his side switched off mentally in the second half, and that his players didnt respect the game enough.But he said it was the right call to substitute Taggart and Castro.(Taggart) has been out (injured for) two years, Lowe said.Weve got to look after him to a certain extent, and the same with Diego.(Those substitutions) weree both cast in stone before we went out for the game.dddddddddddd. Thats where they are physically.Id sooner have Taggs for 27 games than something happens and we dont have him for another six or seven, and hes back to square one.Theres a bigger picture. Weve got a moral obligation to the kid.Central Coast were tipped by many experts to finish with the wooden spoon for the second season on the trot.Coach Paul Okon, who only replaced the sacked Tony Walmsley on August 28, thinks otherwise.Theres a lot of pride within the four walls of that dressing room, Okon said.Theres a winning mentality. There is a culture, which has been questioned in the last few days by the experts.One result doesnt make our season. But its a platform for us to build on and improve.Central Coast were lucky not to concede more goals in the second half, and Okon is well aware its an area he needs to fix.Recruit Jacques Faty looked underdone and committed a host of errors in defence before being subbed off at half-time.The Mariners will receive another stern test when they take on Sydney FC on Saturday night.The Sky Blues enter the match full of confidence following their 4-0 demolition of Western Sydney.
