72nd Causeway Classic: UC Davis vs. Sac State So Sac's tape shows a lot of team speed and a propensity to run the football, a lot - and strike downfield when the opportunity shows. Only threw it 18 times vs. Idaho, 11 times @ Portland State, 6 times @ Eastern - yet 32 times vs. Montana.
RB Rodney Hammond, the Pitt transfer, has been a beast all year, 1074 yards rushing on 166 attempts and 11 TDs, that's 6.5 ypc. We have to be keying on #2. QB #7 Cardell Williams is showing good signs of efficiency, completing his passes at a high clip, though not being asked to typically throw 25-30 times a game.
Last year was a shootout - this year could devolve into the same type of game, I'd like to think Davis has a solid gameplan and can shut down the run, but Sac has a lot of speed, a lot of talent, and they're going to get their chunk plays. Pinnick and the offensive line need to respond blow for blow...and Blue Force needs to get those turnovers - Marion is a dice roller, he will put the pressure on you and go for it.
