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 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.

Both teams moved to the new Mountain West Conference in 1999; Air Force leads the trophy series 28–16 (.636).
