Perfect for all of us Californios to bundle up and act like we're watching a game out in Iowa or something!
Two teams that can both run the ball for 200+, it will be a matter of stopping them on the ground and Special Teams making some plays and creating field position. Ideally, the Ags will force the Go-Gos to play from behind and put the ball in the air. To do so, we'll have to protect the QB against what is statistically one of the best pass rushes in FCS football. Conversely, Marion will throw a ton of personnel groupings and formations at the Blue Force. Expect to see as many substitution matches as you've ever seen on Saturday. The Go-Gos will be running different groups in, and we will wait and send our guys out to match as late as the officials allow. Cat and mouse game that I'm really looking forward to. This thing is probably the Aggies by a TD or less and that is what I expect it to be unless we can force them to throw and/or force some turnovers and actually cash them in for once. Go Ags!
The combined record of Sac's opponents is 44-73...vs. Montana they gave up 6 sacks and only registered 1. I'm using this as a measuring stick as to the kind of output and result Davis can engineer in their matchup with a proper game plan. No sacks @ Nevada for Sac.
kickoff returns are a BIG concern for me. Punt coverage has been good, but we seem to have at least kickoff returner each game into our side of the field. That just can’t happen
Oddly, I don't remember this game being called the Causeway Classic when I was a student. Maybe it's just my memory. How long has that term been applied to the rivalry?
