Game Day Guide - UH vs. Air Force

10.14.2019

Kuter Trophy

Beginning in 1980, UH and Air Force have played for the Kuter Trophy (pronounced COO-ter), which is named for the late General Laurence S. Kuter, who was the first head of the Pacific Air Forces Command in 1957.
The Kuter Trophy was conceived by UH, sponsored by the Pacific Air Command, and designed by the Air Force Academy. It was presented to the winner of the annual game from 1980-97 when both teams were members of the Western Athletic Conference.
Air Force left the conference for the Mountain West in 1998 and the rivalry was later renewed in 2001. After nearly a decade without playing one another, the rivalry was once again renewed when UH joined the MW in 2012.
UH regained possession of the Kuter Trophy in 2016 after a double-overtime road win and in the process, ended the trophy's four-year stint in Colorado Springs.
