Wow!

Good grief...all Sac had to do was run the clock out when they got the ball back with 2:30 to go in the 4th. Then Marion gambled again and called for a pass play that was picked for a TD. Then Sac moves right down the field and gets 2 TD's called back for holding and then misses a 47 yard FG and loses the game.

This loss is on Marion...he gambled once too many and it bit him in the ass...

Same Sac player also!

NAU is thumping Utah Tech 31-10 at the half.

Sac 17 Nevada 10 at the half.

Nevada scored with a minute to go in the half to tie the game at 10 but Sac's Cardell Williams throws a 75 yard TD bomb to take the lead into the half.

Nevada is shooting themselves in the foot. 3 straight penalties including targeting. Sac is driving due to the penalties. 7-0 Sac at the end of the first Q.

Sac is up on Nevada 7-0 late in the 1st Q. Marion is pulling out all of the stops. Sac converted a 4th down at mid-field on their opening drive and then threw a long pass off a reverse down. The biggest gamble was converting a fake punt on 4th down and 7 from their own 4 yard line. He's definitely a gambling man!

I missed that game when I made the Week 2 games post since it was a Friday game. Thanks for catching it.

Bob Dunning picks the Huskies by 17:

WASHINGTON over AGGIES ... Yes, I did predict my alma mater's stunning upset of Stanford 20 years ago and that fearless forecast landed me in the College Football Hall of Fame and also earned me the Pulitzer Prize for Blind Luck. But making a "homer" prediction just so they don't kick me off the team plane to Seattle is simply not in the cards this time around. The Aggies can certainly run with the big dawgs, but they won't be able to tame them. Take the Huskies by 17.

I think the Hornets win also. They're loaded with talent but getting them to play smart, disciplined and on the same page as a unified team will be the challenge for Marion. They have so much talent that they may even be able to play sloppy and still win games.

I'm getting the video but no sound on this podcast. I get sound on the Utah Tech podcast so it seems like it's not something on my end. Anyone else experiencing this?

Good to hear!

Bob Dunning reported that the Ags will receive $700,000 for playing the Huskies.

Caden Pinnick Named Stats Perform National Freshman Player Of The Week

DAVIS, Calif. – With No. 8 UC Davis needing to mount a comeback at Utah Tech on Saturday, Aug. 30, redshirt freshman quarterback Caden Pinnick was up to the task and his clutch performance down the stretch has earned him Stats Perform National Freshman Player of the Week honors.

Pinnick went 21-for-31 on Saturday, finishing with 253 total passing yards, three passing touchdowns and 14 yards rushing. His long of the game was a 60-yard go ahead touchdown toss to Samuel Gbatu Jr., the third passing touchdown of the second half for the Aggie quarterback.

The Aggies needed Pinnick to step up big to help lead them to victory on Saturday and he did, throwing for 159 yards and three touchdowns in the second half. His confident running of the offense led to four-straight scoring drives leading to 24 unanswered points scored by the Aggies to come away with the win.

Pinnick becomes the first Aggie to earn Stats Perform FCS National Freshman of the Week honors since Nick Eaton got the nod during the 2019 season.

I love this! I still have great memories of the great games we had with them at The Toom many years ago.

I have YouTube TV also. I searched for the Aggie game and it is definitely on their schedule for a live telecast.

Rex Connors Named Big Sky Defensive Player Of The Week

FARMINGTON, Utah – Picking up where he left off last season, UC Davis football senior defensive back Rex Connors was a force in the secondary during the Aggies comeback win at Utah Tech and his 15 total tackles has earned him Big Sky Defensive Player of the Week honors for the opening weekend.

Connors totaled eight solo tackles and seven assisted tackles to go along with a pass break up to earn his player of the week honors. It's the first time the 2025 Big Sky Preseason Defensive Player of the Year has earned Big Sky Defensive Player of the Week honors since 2022 when he earned the honor twice.

With the 15 tackles, Connors now sits 12 tackles away from hitting a mark of 291 career tackles which will set the career program record for total tackles.

The Aggie defensive back also makes it two-straight seasons an Aggie has won the first week's edition of the Big Sky Defensive Player of the Week, joining his brother Porter after his standout performance at California in the 2024 season opener
