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.

GLASGOW, Scotland -- Dillian Whyte captured the vacant British heavyweight title with a controlled and classy display that eventually broke Ian Lewisons resistance at the end of ten rounds.Lewison was brave but fell apart suddenly in the tenth round, bothered by a nose injury, and was retired by his corner at the end of the round after Whyte had commanded most of their Friday night fight at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow.Whyte (19-1, 14 KOs) is now targeting a first domestic title defence against Dereck Chisora, the former world title challenger, before what he hopes will be a rematch with Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs), the IBF world heavyweight champion, in 2017.I was trying to stop him early but I know how tough he is but I saw his nose was going from the fifth round so I stuck to the jab, Whyte said.I took my time and I showed I can take a shot. I knew I had to win this belt for my career and I will move on to Dereck Chisora in December.The pair are both based in Brixton in south London and even used to train at the same gym, but they entered the ring after a bitter build-up. Lewison (12-3-1, 8 KOs) tipped the scales at 19 stones 7 pounds and was over a stone heavier than Whyte.And Lewison, 35, made his weight felt in the opening round as he landed some right hands on his rival, who improved in the second. Jamaica-born Whyte, 28, showed some classsy combinations late in the second as he assumed the ascendency and in the third whipped in hooks to the body.ddddddddddddWhyte, who had shoulder surgery following his seventh round stoppage loss to Anthony Joshua in December, was sharp with his punches and also skilful with slipping punches. Lewison kept marching forward but Whyte kept finding him with hooks to the body and put his jab to good use too.Lewison shrugged off a big right uppercut in the fifth and in the sixth Whyte began landing his punches with more spite.Lewison, who showed impressive endurance, looked laboured in the seventh as Whyte began catching him more regularly but he was not in any trouble until the tenth round when he became hampered by his damaged nose.Lewison, who suffered a suspected broken nose, was not responding with punches by the end of the tenth round and his corner pulled him out before the start of the 11th. This was Whytes third win since losing to Joshua, who he caused concern early in their British title fight, and his next opponent is likely to be fellow Londoner Chisora.Earlier, Lytham St Annes Scott Cardle made a successful defence of his British lightweight title with a six-round stoppage of Grimsby challenger Kevin Hooper.
