Yeah. Look at this fcs brcketology where UC Davis gets the #6 seed with a round 1 bye:

#10 Jordan Stanley was down in the last Northern Colorado drive, but he appeared to walk off okay. I'm hoping he's back in this Northern Colorado drive.

Even with all these injuries, we appear to have pretty decent depth this year.

Did we get anyone back from injury for this game?

Yeah. I didn't know Harper can move. I don't recall anyone mentioning this in the past.

Although I occasionally point out Sacramento State's hypocrisy or outrageousness, I never really have any ill will towards them. On the other hand, I do enjoy seeing higher ranked teams lose. Therefore, I'm rooting for Sacramento State over the Griz.

I'm fooled. I can't see how Vargas has received the ball for a TD.

Are we undefeated this season in the pregame coin toss?

In order to comfortably make it in the playoffs, we need to be at least 4-2 in the next six games for an 8-3 overall record. It's possible to get in with a 7-4 overall record, but I don't want to push our luck.

To go 4-2 in the future, then I'm hoping to get at least an equivalent result like this:

#14 Northern Arizona WIN
@Northern Colorado WIN
Idaho State WIN
@#11 Idaho LOSS
@#5 Montana State LOSS
#29 Sacramento State WIN

UC Davis, Mercer Are Linked Again: In the Stats Perform FCS Top 25

Edit: With all these injuries, I think UCD's #6 ranking is way too high. I think we're closer to #13 with these injuries and #6 without.

I can't recall the status of other injured players from this game or previous games. Does anyone have an update of anyone else?

Interesting mix. San Jose State is #16, and UC Merced is #18.

I thought the Lekkerkerker brothers, our offensive linesmen during the Division II to Division I transitional days, were twins until I just googled them.

.

Rex Connors?

Alright. Let's see how well our backup QB can do.

I generally don't care what uniform UCD wears, but these uniforms I like!

On the other hand, 17k is about 60% over official capacity. It does not appear logistically possible to fit 60% over official capacity.

I do have a habit of sitting with the home team side in away games. I was a bit envious when the UC Davis side was enthusiastically cheering while I was on the other side.

I'm most impressed with the continued rise of UC Merced's rankings.
