Air Force is routed by BYU

Last updated Thursday, February 10, 2011 - 5:43pm

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- BYU guard Jimmer Fredette pulled up at the top of the key and took a shot no coach would advise, falling away from the basket with an Air Force defender right on him. But Fredette isn't a typical player. He drained the 3-point shot.

That was the first possession of the game, and it never got any better for the Falcons.

Fredette, a player of the year favorite, was a factor in Air Force's 90-52 loss to the No. 7 team in the country, but Air Force's offensive droughts were a bigger issue.

Expect extra buzz in Broncos camp this summer

The merchandise sold at the Broncos' team store has had the same logo for more than 10 years. The team didn't bring in any big-name free agents -- unless defensive linemen get you excited. Denver has won just one playoff game in the new millennium and hasn't been to the postseason since the 2005 season.
