Air Force's aerial plans go beyond football field

NCAA Football Betting Lines

08/28/2010 -

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) -Like countless other college running backs, Air Force senior Jared Tew worked on his routes over the summer.

Only, he wasn't practicing patterns on the football field like others were but speeding high above the Rocky Mountains inside the cockpit of a single-prop training plane.

Falcons quarterback Tim Jefferson sure could've used him at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where he grabbed anyone he could find to throw passes to between sessions in the flight simulator.

For these cadets, summers are as much about training to serve their country after college as they are preparing for the upcoming season.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
