Great season for Idaho State, Cody and Dan are doing a great job there.

A lot of teams ranked ahead of Davis or in the top 24 lost today.

Tarleton pulled out a wild one against a very good Austin Peay team. Notable that Southern Utah beat Austin Peay earlier this year 33-17 at Eccles.

Yale
Southern Illinois
Albany
Lafayette

Hey, it's good to be the King!

Let's start a fund for Toke to take a plane ride next year! Maybe to Dallas/Fort Worth?

The combined record of Sac's opponents is 44-73...vs. Montana they gave up 6 sacks and only registered 1. I'm using this as a measuring stick as to the kind of output and result Davis can engineer in their matchup with a proper game plan. No sacks @ Nevada for Sac.

Weather forecast (1 pm kickoff).
High of 62 degrees
Winds light and variable
Partly Cloudy

This is coming after a projected sunny Friday.
Should be ideal conditions come Kickoff.

Beating Lafayette and winning all your games is still an impressive feat - but man, the teams in this Top 10 have some of the weakest schedules I've ever seen.

I think this Saturday shakes up the Top 15 again.

Let's see how much ground they break in the spring. Hay is not in the barn -- secure the money -- get the permits and plans updated and proceed, on time. Once the contractors get going, it's just a matter of time.

High stakes closure on Week 0!

BEAT SAC STATE

There are a ton of crazy scenarios that can go down this weekend. FCS Edge covers them all.

Yeah, but can we get the siding in cornflower blue?

Good to hear Flush talking about 'making this a Davis crowd' for Causeway.

Over/Under on the build time for the UCDHS Club/Suite package?

18 months? 2 years? I know how long it takes for Davis to get through a set of plans - too much red tape for one lifetime, I'll never build on that campus again, hopefully it's more streamlined now.
