Monster of a game!

HUGE game and potentially the last successive causeway classic. Not only big for 2 programs that are getting more attention than ever nationally, but both need the win. Even bigger of a game as a rivalry. Hoping for a huge crowd and a huge bounce back win at home.

Haven't been paying much attention to the playoff seeding scenarios. Is this a win and in game for both teams?

Yes.

I think we are a really good matchup against this sac team. Obviously it will be a high stakes and 100% on each side endeavor but I believe we can pull it out. Would be a great way to move into the post season (and maybe just maybe get some folks back?)

How Sac's 2025 Season has played out:
@ South Dakota State (7-4), L 3-20
@ Nevada (2-8), L 17-20 (Sac should've actually won this game, Pick 6 late 4th, dumb)
vs. Mercyhurst (5-6), W 49-28
vs. Central Arkansas (3-8), W 45-16
vs. Cal Poly (3-8), L 24-32
@ Weber State (3-8), W 55-27
vs. Northern Colorado (3-8), W 40-35
vs. Montana (11-0), L 35-49
@ Eastern (5-6), W 35-13
@ Portland State (1-10), W 52-24
vs. Idaho (4-7), W 23-20

@ UC Davis

that Idaho one was just a goofy, downright bad situation. Def have improved in some ways but still think penalties are a big issue for sac. Run game has improved a ton

Causeway is always a must-win, but I think Davis is already in as a top-15 team with 7 (8) wins.

In 2023 Sac was a top-10 team, lost 2 of its last 3 games, of course the last game to Davis.
Still got in. Committee just can’t allow themselves to leave ranked teams out, and let unranked teams in (like Davis was). Davis won 3 in a row to end the season that year.

Potentially perfect reversal of the 2023 situation.
