I know...strange start time. I'm sure the Pavilion will be nearly empty.

Some great comments and footage in this video about playing football at UCD that recruits would like to see:

Quotes from Coach Les from the Enterprise article:

“When you lose guys either to graduation or the portal, you have to look at your roster and say here are the weaknesses, here are the gaps we need to fill. No one person is going to replace Ezra, but we feel we’ve brought in some people who are going to contribute right away.”

Division I transfers include 6-3 Ty Johnson from Loyola Chicago, 6-3 Robby Beasley III from Montana, 6-7 DeAndre Henry from Nevada and 6-9 Niko Rocak from UC Santa Barbara.

Other newcomers are 6-7 freshman Joaquin Strong from Playa Del Rey, 6-9 Jac Mani from Beverly Hills and 6-7 Sam Manu from College of San Mateo.

Noted Les, “We feel we have six guards who can really play, plus the leadership of this group is excellent, with Elijah and Christian at the head of that list. Kane Milling really started to come around at the end of last year and Ade Adebayo is great at playing multiple positions. Those four are a really solid foundation.”

The Aggies played four games in Europe in August, a trip that the NCAA allows a team to take once every four years.

UCD went 4-0 on the tour, playing in Croatia, Italy and Bosnia.

“It was very good for us,” said the Aggie coach.

“We feel because of the trip we’re a little bit ahead of schedule. It really helped us as a team to travel together like that. It was the perfect complement to our summer workouts. In addition to working on our basketball skills, we really rely on the relationships we built during that trip.

“I feel that really good things are going to happen with this group. I like their willingness to be coached and ability to play an up-tempo pace on both ends of the floor. The work ethic and the practice ethic of this team is off the charts. Now it’s just a matter of doing it when the lights come on.”

Montana 57 Cal Poly 0 - Final

Gunnar Faulk in at QB. Unfortunately, he fumbled twice in a row. That's too bad for him...

8 yard strike to Tompkins for the TD.

Montana 31 Poly 0 at the half.

Portland State 35 Northern Colorado 21 - Final

Montana State 31 NAU 28 - Final

The Bobcats kick a 24 yard FG to end the game.

NAU and Montana are tied at 38 with one minute to go in regulation.

It's on.

NAU 28 Montana State 24 at the end of the 3rd.

Sac wins 33-30.

Interesting strategy by Sac when Weber had a first and goal from the 3 with 30 seconds or so to go in the game. They had 3 straight pass interference penalties in the end zone. Each time the ball was moved half the distance to the goal but time time kept coming off the clock. When it was first down and inches, it took Weber two rushes to get in and by then only had 16 seconds left and no TO's.

Weber scores with 16 seconds to go. 33-30 Sac.

Idaho 48 EWU 16 - Final

Sac pretty much seals the deal with a FG. 33-23 Sac with 1:50 to go.

Weber FG makes it 30-23 Sac with 8:09 to go.

NAU 21 Montana State 17 at the half.

The Sac player ejected for targeting is their DE Ayodele Adeoye who played 4 years at Texas. He is also the player that knocked Montana's starting QB out of the game with a cheap shot to the head.

30-20 Sac with 12 minutes to go.
