I don't think we've hosted the Dons. Here's the series history:
UC Davis 26, San Francisco 72 (1934-35)
UC Davis 45, San Francisco 30 (1939-40)
UC Davis 35, San Francisco 50 (1941-42)
UC Davis 27, San Francisco 39 (1941-42)
UC Davis 71, San Francisco 94 (Jan. 1, 1974)
UC Davis 70, San Francisco 90 (Nov. 29, 1975)
UC Davis 71, San Francisco 120 (Nov. 29, 1976)
UC Davis 61, San Francisco 74 (Dec. 15, 2017)
I'm sure they'll be a little extra motivation (as if you need one for the season opener) for this game as the team played very poorly at USF last year.
I know Les and the team were really disappointed with the game last year in SF. I honestly thought we were the better team and just played poorly especially in the first half. Having never breaten the Dons will add some more incentive also.
GauchoDan over on the BW boards visited every D1 website and put together the following OOC list as of today. A lot of big time road games.

Looks like we've got four Power-5 opponents in Arkansas, Indiana, USC and Arizona. Then you add in 3 WCC schools in USF, USD and LMU. Top it off w Sac St at (edit: Golden 1 center), a few others and a couple DII schools. Very pleased with the schedule overall. Good opportunity to shine this upcoming season w the reigning BWPOY, and most returning from the BW regular season champs team. Let's go Ags!
This is the best OCC schedule we've seen yet. Les really stepped up the competition on the road and we've got a few nice home games also. The road schedule is very tough and we'll certainly be battle tested by the time the conference games begin.
We are the designated home team vs Sac State this year but the game will again be played at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. I love that this has become an annual affair since the Golden 1 Center is such a fabulous arena and the arena staff keep the fans involved and entertained throughout the game.
