• 2024 Week 11: UC Davis (8-1) @ Montana (7-2)
    What a great win. Now I believe in this team. They wanted it tonight. Defense was really strong and the O-line made holes and gave Hastings time to throw. Win or lose at Montana St., we are finally playing with the big boys and things are looking up for the program.
  • 2024 Week 5: Idaho (3-1) @ UC Davis (3-1)
    Our D line really figured things out. Idaho was moving the ball at will in Q1, but they started making stops and getting pressure. What a turnaround!! Great game.
  • 2024 Week 5: Idaho (3-1) @ UC Davis (3-1)
    Plough made this unnecessarily close!
  • 2024 Week 5: Idaho (3-1) @ UC Davis (3-1)
    A field goal puts Idaho down two TD’s with limited time left. More predictable for defense to cover. More pressure on 3rd string QB. Takes more time to score 2TD’s. We are lucky to be ahead with 3 interceptions and should have taken what was there. Idaho had their way with us in 1st quarter and could. do it again. Hope for a D hold

    Should have taken field goal!!!!
  • 2024 Week 5: Idaho (3-1) @ UC Davis (3-1)
    The Utah Tech game was painful to watch. We can move the ball, force turnovers but can't put it in the endzone. We should have had over 50 points, Utah Tech was so bad. Hastings tried some 20 yard plus passes but was not on target. So far this does not look like "Shredville". Maybe that prior success was due to Maier and Doss and less to do with Plough. I was really hopeful coming into this season that we might finally make the playoffs again, but that seems more doubtful now.

    I know we have a bunch of guys hurt. Hopefully, they come back and make a big difference.
  • 2024 Week 2: Texas A&M Commerce (0-1) @ UC Davis (0-1)
    I wouldn't mind if Plough bought a razor and used it before press events and either ditched the hat or turned it around with the bill facing forward to look a little more serious. He doesn't need to be Pat Riley as that is not Davis style but he also doesn't need to look like he just finished cleaning out of the hog pen!
  • 2024 Week 1: UC Davis @ UC Berkeley
    I guess it will be all 5 yd and 10 yd passes all year. 20 yards and we are taking our chances and longer forget about it. Should have brought 2nd string QB in 4th quarter. We weren’t going to win and the pre season is about getting people experienced

    We often get good big men but then never use them well and many transfer. Davis seems to be the place where big men come to die.

    That doesn't sound right. A team has to make more offers than they have room as many prospects don't accept the offers. So, I always thought that was the pressure applied to prospects. For example, we made 5 offers on a position but only have 3 scholarships available so the prospects need to hurry up and accept or take the risk that all scholarships are now spoken for.
  • Tim Plough Named New UC Davis Head Football Coach
    Hastings has had trouble with passes longer than 5-10 yards. Shredville under Maier included a lot of deep balls. I guess Plough could change it up and do the no huddle up tempo offense but keep it to short passes and Hastings could stay in there.
  • Tim Plough Named New UC Davis Head Football Coach
    Burke was a good QB at Mount Union and a QB coach there. Why not choose him to be QB coach? Cody could have been the Offensive Coordinator for that matter. I don't see how Shelton has more experience for that position than Cody. Cody also has QB coaching and Shelton does not. The move from Davis special teams and TE coach and high school to Offensive Coordinator seems like quite a leap over other more qualified personnel.

    A co-worker of mine knows this kid who seems to have received an offer from UCD. Looks like he also has offers from San Jose, Nevada, Wyoming and Washington St.

    I like that we are winning the close games this year. Too many times in past years we did not. Based on our pre-season I did not think we would be doing near this well. Hope they can keep it up.
  • MBB: Aggies (8-6, 3-0) @ UC Irvine (10-5, 3-0) 1 pm Saturday 1/06
    Seems like they played better when Borra was in there vs Rocak
  • MBB: Aggies (8-6, 3-0) @ UC Irvine (10-5, 3-0) 1 pm Saturday 1/06
    Should have won that game. Free Throws!! Les needs to lock these guys in the gym until they start making them. Very exciting that we had a chance to win, but horrible last play in regulation losing the ball out of bounds and Pepper missing 1 of 2 crucial free throws.
  • 2024 Football Recruiting
    Wrightster’s release is a little slow. He has a bit of a windup. I imagine they can work on that.
  • 2024 Football Recruiting
    I never thought we were going to do well with Hastings at QB, so I don’t have a lot of hope for the guys already on the roster who couldn’t beat him out of the job. If a freshman came in and stole the job, maybe there is hope.
  • MBB: UC Merced (6-2)@ the Aggies (4-6) 6 pm Thursday 12/21
    Makes sense. So he’ll have 4 1/3 years when done and he likely passed it before a full 4 years at this point, so it’s legit.
  • MBB: UC Merced (6-2)@ the Aggies (4-6) 6 pm Thursday 12/21
    Sounds like Pepper's record should go in the books with an asterisk due to his 5 years. Audwin looks like he could still play. We should have suited him up!
