    Holy crap. Went to check the US soccer roster and the score popped up with us up with about 4 minutes left.

    Amazing win.

    Hunter is SO much better than spring. The reason you keep running early is so we can run late. Great win

    $1.5 Million Dollars --- and a 1-0 start, and a skyrocketing boost in the national polls.

    UC Davis is 2-5 against FBS in the Dan Hawkins era and a whopping 2-1 against non-PAC schools if I'm counting right.

    Stunning start to the season

    Agreed, I was admittedly a Hunter doubter after the spring season but that was a complete performance. Accurate and smart decision making. No forcing of plays. Very excited to see what he does against FCS defenses.

    Prince is a very talented, big, and bruising RB. It was bound to happen at some point in the game. The defense shut an FBS offense totally down. They were absolutely excellent.

    We're building a resume for upsets.

    - Stanford
    - San Jose State
    - Tulsa

    No UC Davis PSA tonight?

    I think the run game will improve against more appropriately sized FCS d lines. Tulsa has size and speed in their front 7.

    Tulsa is not better than the 2005 Stanford team. That Stanford team played two top ten teams UCLA and Norte Dame tough. And would have been bowl eligible with another win.

    I'm not sure whether it was an upset on paper but I'd add the absolute demolition of Montana at Wa-Griz to the list

    It was Davis vs Goliath and Davis won again!

    It's amazing how well we held up against their size and speed. Rushing yards we're really hard to come by. It also appears we didn't suffer any major injuries. They were so big...that O lineman that pancaked Larison weighs 365 pounds!

    Tulsa was unable to sustain drives. They had tons of yardage per play , but when they needed to convert on third down they.were 2/10..
    We got much less yardage per play but we’re able to.get a convert 10/19 third downs.
    I thought we’d have more success running but our passing game was better than expected.
    We outplayed them, mostly at QB even though they dominated the line play..
    Gilliam really showed his value at the end.

    Aggie LB, Cole Hansen, who made that big INT in the second half, wasn't able to play in the first half because he had to sit out the first half due to a targeting penalty from the EWU game last spring.

    Co-MVPs Rodrigues, Castles and UG. UG’s last run won the game. I wish I could be on that plane home! A great win. And yes, better than Stanford because we had thousand of fans in the stands there and it was in our neighborhood. Same temps. Tulsa OK is a very bad place for California people to be. We are not liked in OK. I bet this verve was not lost on the Tulsa players. Well, so we won!

    UC Davis beats Tulsa (FBS) 19-17 in the season-opener. Whitney/ARC product Hunter Rodrigues was terrific going 28/35 for 311 yards. He also threw a touchdown to McCallan Castles. The UCD defense made plays.

    IMO, the Big Sky is the best FCS football conference in the country.

    FCS UC-Davis defeated Tulsa 19-17 tonight. Davis is currently coached by Dan Hawkins, who you might remember from his “This ain’t intramurals, brother” rant while he was head coach at Colorado.

    maybe but only 190 yards in that game against the ags - they were not good. Defense won both that game and tonight despite giving up 450 yards.

    I'd be surprised if that quarterback starts next week.
