Air Force–Colorado State football rivalry

The Air Force–Colorado State football rivalry is an American college football rivalry in Colorado between the U.S. Air Force Academy Falcons and Colorado State University Rams. The Ram–Falcon Trophy is awarded to the winner of the game.

Ram–Falcon Trophy


The origin of the Ram–Falcon Trophy is traced back to Shelly Godkin, a former ROTC commander at Colorado State. The trophy was carved by local Fort Collins artist, Bill Wrage, who donated several artistic works to Colorado State University. It was first awarded in 1980, when formerly independent Air Force joined Colorado State in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC); CSU won 21–9 on September 6. Both teams moved to the new Mountain West Conference in 1999; Air Force leads the trophy series .650.
