Through only 3 quarters, Aggies have out-gained NAU 484 yards to 220.

One TD run doubles the Ags rushing total for the game.

I think scoring plays are reviewed, but no score, no review. I agree that Hawkins should have challenged. It looked like Thorpe had possession when his knee touched the ground.

I missed a chunk of the game. What happened to Martinez?

Commentators said the extra point would have been the Ags first lead. What game are they watching?

My bad, I thought the play by play guy identified Larison, but Crawford threw the pass.

Larison threw the pass. Wobbly but it worked.

Don't think it was a DPI, but leading with the helmet, spearing: personal foul should have been called.

Not a good way to start a game

I watched the Big West Men's Basketball Preview on ESPN+. They did very brief thumbnails on each team from bottom to top of the coaches poll, plus UCSD. They focused on the battle at the top where the coaches separated UCI and UCSB by only one vote. Had an interview with Amadou Sow. Why does it seem like he's been around forever? I guess he puts getting his degree over a shot at the NBA.

I can't recall if anyone has brought up the Sagarin ratings (http://sagarin.com/sports/cfsend.htm), but counting only FCS schools, it rates UC Davis #18 (127 overall). To Riveraggie's point, Sac State is #16 (124 overall), just ahead of U. of Arizona. Sagarin uses strength of schedule, as well as points, but also how teams have done in more recent games.

How does UC Davis drop a spot?

I totally missed this game, thinking the Ags opened with Utah State on Nov. 9. Anyone see it on streaming video?

MTBAggie, thanks for the correction. As a long-time 49er fan I knew that Garoppolo went to Eastern Illinois, so I must have had the Golden Eagles in my head. At least, I've learned how to spell his name. Still can't spell Juszczyk without looking it up and forget about Antenetekompo.

One of the all time greats along with Jerry Rice; Walter Payton, Jackson State
There were also a few Super Bowl QBs:
Ron Jaworski (Youngstown State)
Phil Simms (Morehead State)
Doug Williams (Grambling)
Jimmy Garoppolo (Eastern Washington)
Joe Flacco (Delaware)
Also, from Div. II, Ken Anderson, Augustana

Some current NFL stars include:
Kyle Juszczyk (Harvard)
Ryan Fitzpatrick (Harvard)
Darius Leonard (South Carolina State)
Andre Roberts (Citadel)
Chase Edmonds (Fordham)

I think a lot of players are overlooked by FBS schools for a variety of reasons and show how good they are once they get a chance. NFL scouts know where to find them.

That looks like a real trophy. Thanks.

My father was a Cal alum and we never got to the games before kickoff for want of a parking spot anywhere close to Memorial Stadium. He always tried to find street parking in Berkeley to save a buck or two. But that was in the 50s and 60s. I'm sure it's better now and a lot more expensive.

Versus has moved UC Davis from 20 to 13 in one week.

I've never seen the Golden Horseshoe and can't find it on the web, even though Wikipedia has an article about it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_the_Golden_Horseshoe). Can someone please post a photo of it?

I thought the offensive play calls by Cal Poly were often odd. Then I remembered that Beau Baldwin was the OC at Cal for a couple of years and that I thought the offense was conservative and unimaginative. He's clearly a good coach, winning an FCS title at EWU, but I wonder when he has his heavy back try to run an end around when he was clearly at his best bulling his way up the middle. Also, on more than a couple of third down and long attempts, the Mustangs ran the ball, even in the fourth quarter. The tunnel screens and put patterns didn't work very well either and I suspect it is because Brasch was not comfortable with those throws, but very good at rifling passes down the middle. If that's tru you'd think Baldwin would know that.
