The Air Force Falcons defense made an incredible play Saturday in a game against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors

Hawaii was on the Falcons’ 4-yard line and looking to score to cut into the Air Force lead late in the game. Rainbow Warriors quarterback Cole McDonald threw a short pass to his left but it was tipped by Air Force safety Grant Theil almost immediately.

Theil fell down as he tried to grasp the ball. He tipped it numerous times when it finally landed in the hands of Air Force cornerback Milton Bugg III. Bugg then returned the ball 95 yards for the Air Force score. It was Bugg’s third interception of the season.

“I thought [Theil] was going to catch it, of course, but coach Rud [defensive coordinator John Rudzinski] and coach [Chip] Vaughn always stress running to the ball,” Bugg told The Gazette.

He added: “My first time in the open field. Felt really good to do what I did with it.”
