“To see a crowd like that and the band and a great college atmosphere and all the excitement really provided the guys with some juice,” Hawkins said afterward. “When you can have a win like that and not play an especially clean game, that’s great. Sometimes you play great and don’t get a score like that.”
“It’s nice to be 3-0. That’s great,” Hawkins added. “The Aggies are in a good spot. To have UC Davis come out and support us like this means so much. We have great kids, great players and a great culture here, but there’s a long road ahead.”
“I always say football is about more than just the game. It’s about being with your fans and your family and seeing something exciting and creative and fun. We continue to make strides and where we’re at mentally is so fun as a coach,” Hawkins said. “These kids work so hard all week and we’re doing everything we can to try to win a football game.”
“Seeing our fans show up today was great,” Gilliam noted. “It was cool to see a whole university behind us. The coaches gave us a great game plan and it was just up to us to execute it.”
