“The odds are pretty much 80 percent that you’ll have a winning season if you win your first game,” said the Aggie boss.
“It also creates a tremendous amount of buy-in to what we’re doing and generates momentum. It was a possession game, and
for us to have no turnovers was huge.”
Added Hawkins, “We won the turnover battle and the red zone battle. There are a lot of meaningful reasons why we won.”
Hawkins was especially pleased that on the afternoon before the game the entire team and coaching staff was able to visit the Greenwood Rising exhibition along what is known as Tulsa’s Black Wall Street, where a horrific race massacre took
place 100 years ago.
“That was an amazing, impactful and meaningful experience. You can do that and still play a football game. Those things canbe done together. That’s uniquely UC Davis.”
