Third-year Idaho coach Jason Eck says UC Davis running back Lan Larison is "the best offensive player in the conference," though he notes it hurts to see an Idaho native (Larison is from Caldwell) playing against the Vandals.

Eck did provide a little bulletin board material when he said he feels his Vandals have played a tougher schedule than the Aggies, given that UCD's three victories are over teams that are a combined 1-11 this fall

Both Plough and Eck agree that Idaho has one of the monsters of the midway in defensive lineman Keyshawn James-Newby from Helena, Montana. James-Newby has seven of his team's 13 sacks, causing Eck to note that numerous NFL scouts are aware of James-Newby's talents.

“It’s about time, right,” said Orr, the Sacramento-raised AD who was showing off his Hornets green tie. “It’s about time we build a stadium worthy of its campus and community. It’s time for something new. When President Wood first got here last year, he asked me what we need to be the best of the best in athletics. We need a new football stadium, new facilities, more athletic scholarships. The first step of the plan was to get a football stadium and today, we’re announcing that. That’s a tremendous, tremendous step.”

The price tag for the grand proposal, which would make Hornet Stadium the largest sports venue in the capital region, was not disclosed though Wood said the funds from a variety of sources including donor funds and future naming rights was “secured.”

Tempers flared in the final minutes, with Cal State Fullerton reduced to 10 players after three separate yellow cards were issued in the 82nd minute

AS PAC-12 GROWS AND MOUNTAIN WEST SHRINKS, ARE AGGIES IN THE MIX? ... On Monday morning, the six-team Pac-12 reached across the country and offered spots to AAC members Memphis, Tulane and South Florida, but all three turned down the overture and elected to stay put.

This led to a quick Pac-12 offer to Utah State Monday afternoon that was just as quickly accepted. So yes, the Aggies are now in the Pac-12, but not the same Aggies that Davis folks know and love.

The Pac-12 (the league retained that title even when it was down to just Oregon State and Washington State) has already raided Mountain West schools San Diego State, Fresno State, Boise State and Colorado State, leaving both leagues with seven schools, one short of the NCAA minimum for recognition as a conference.

UNLV, which earlier on Monday committed to stay in the Mountain West, withdrew that commitment when Utah State announced it was leaving and is now reconsidering a Pac-12 offer.

If UNLV leaves, the Mountain West will need to quickly add at least two teams, which is where rumors about UC Davis continue to swirl, along with other top-enders in the Big Sky and Missouri Valley. Even if UNLV stays, the MWC may consider UCD and perhaps the Montana or Dakota schools. Sacramento State would also like to be in the conversation.
