Effin’ incredible folks. Great ticket sales, even better than last week! Let’s go!!

Just got my tickets for my brother and I today Let's go!!

I had classes with him. Great guy. For some reason I thought he played defense at some point.

Center 2-3 sections look great, but nearby sections have huge sections of unsold tickets.

Ploughs announcement doesn't cover the general student body.

Outkick: UC Davis Might Be Hosting FCS Playoff Game On Saturday, But They Don't Have Lodging For 30 Players

UC Davis’ unexpected home playoff game collides with finals week, leaving coaches scrambling to find beds for freshmen players forced out of their dorms.

Great job by Coach Plough, Rocco, and the Chancellor to make the housing thing happen. Great message to the rest of FCS that UC Davis is serious about football.

Channel I've never heard of covering FCS playoffs:

Same here:

OK, we know there will be butts in the seats, the freshmen will have beds to sleep in, finals will be over, the tailgates will be rockin', and there will be a football game played at 2pm. Time to start talking some ball!

If you're a stats geek, here is a nice and easy-to-read, side-by-side stat comparison of the Aggies and the Redbirds.

Here's my take and the statistics from that article in a brief summary:

He who runs the ball and protects the QB shall win. Who can impose their will, get their talented Running Back loose, and force the opposing QB into critical errors?

I think It's going to come down to pass pro and which QB can play within himself and not try do too much.

I think the TE's will be huge for this game. Their Dline is great so let them come and pop it right over their heads. A couple of those will freeze the DLine and give Fisher room to run.

Agreed. What Plough does with our TEs in the passing game is really fun to watch. Sometimes slow-developing concepts though, and I'm sure he's fully aware that the ball has to come out QUICK! :rofl: I love our screen game; if ISU is going to heat us up, look for big plays in that area. Illinois State has had plenty of games where they allowed 200+ on the ground, and, consequently, lost every one of them.

yes the biggest weakness for Caden is getting rid of the ball quick. When he does the offense flows, when he holds it, everything bogs down. He has been getting better as the season has gone on, but he has to value the ball more. He can't throw careless balls for ints like last game. He has to be smart. If he does that and goes through his progressions quick....Davis can't be stopped imo. I love the TE's on this team.

Good post! agree. Better and better these last 3 games particularly. Ever since that MSU game he has recovered well from mistakes (like fumbles or interceptions) which is crucial as we get deeper in the playoffs against better competition.

Looks like this may help! (I cannot stand dutch bros but people love it). I still think while the admin has been much better with promotions this year, it seems like every giveaway is announced 2 days to late. Hoping for a good turnout! Roommate is going and I know a few other people from classes are going.

I just checked the tickets sales and the west side has lots of seats available...many more than I expected.

The Dutch Bros. promo great! Is it built in a way that gets students in the gate, and keeps them there?

GREAT effort by the promotions folks, and very generous of the old Dutch Bros. to get involved.

I just hope they're serving $1 beers and hot dogs again on 12/20 in Stephenville!

I would imagine so since they've had a lot of attention and good publicity for it.

Looks like I'll be heading over to Dutch Bro for a coffee. I love the support!!

+1

121-123 looks pretty well sold (especially our area in 123), but 124 and 120 have a ton of open seats, and 119 is practically empty!

I hope there's no game in Stephenville and the semifinal is taking place in Davis instead.

Got a call today asking if I wanted tickets for the game. I said I wasn’t planning on flying out from the east coast 2 weeks in a row (besides commitments) but I thought it was nice touch and appears that people are following up.

Just saw the video on social media of plough announcing that dorms will be open until 8 pm on Saturday so that students can attend and then head home fore break afterwards. Huge for attendance although hopefully not to late for kids to adjust their plans.

DORMS ARE OPEN LETS GO

exactly. all these promos are sick! I love it, but it seems like they all come like 2 days too late.

can you share it here? Or a link?

The Davis Enterprise has notes on the game that are so erroneous that they can only have been written by AI.

On defense, UCD middle linebacker Nate Rutchena leads the way with 22 tackles. Safety Khalani Riddick is second at 18, defensive back Jayden Hayden at 17 and defensive end Jacob Pysk 13.
