  • FCS Playoffs Round 2: UNI @ UC Davis
    That drop by Preece was a big momentum shift but those things happen. We see some of the best receivers in the NFL drop a pass every now and then that hits them in the hands. I really liked how the defense just stiffened up and made a pick after the big, rumbling return of the pick though.

    I think the teaching moment that can come from a play like that is to never hang your head and stop playing until you see the play blown dead by the refs. Preece was disappointed that the ball went through his hands and thought the ball had hit the ground. He's normally very sure handed. I think he has something like 9 TD's in 28 catches and he would have had another one there. We'll keep pitching the ball to him. He's a great TE.

    Davis Enterprise: Bertsch making Aggie record book her biography

    “I was really happy with our team’s collective effort,” UCD head coach Jennifer Gross reported. “I thought Kayla Konrad played great — she made a number of plays on offense and controlled the glass for us defensively. Kourtney was knocking down shots, Morgan was as efficient as always … and hit key shots for us.

    Davis Enterprise: Doss, Aggies made adjustments to win

    UCD coach Dan Hawkins weighed in:

    “In that second half they started playing a lot more outside the box, and I don’t want to say daring us to run — but they were saying ‘OK we’re going to take away (the passing) part of your game: the fly sweep, the top receivers, the slant routes…’ ”

    Hawkins rethought his previous observation and pointed out that Farley probably thought, “OK let’s see if you can run it inside.”

    Davis Enterprise: UCD holds off UNI in defensive battle to win first DI playoff game

    UC Davis linebacker Mason Moe broke up a fourth-and-10 Northern Iowa pass attempt with a little over two minutes remaining as the Aggies advanced to the third round of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs with a hard-fought 23-16 win over the UNI Panthers Saturday at Aggie Stadium.

    “We knew they would be looking for No. 86 (Briley Moore), so we were ready for it,” explained the 6-0, 210-pound Moe, who batted the pass away from the 6-3, 242-pound Moore with an assist from Aggie teammate Isiah Olave.

    “I am so proud of our defense,” said Aggie head coach Dan Hawkins. “This might not have been our norm this season when people pay so much attention to our offense, but the defense was just outstanding. We stopped them in the red zone a couple of times and really had some big plays.”

    I guess I was so tired from all the excitement from the game that I posted the my thoughts in the wrong thread last night so I just now moved it over here (maybe I'm getting too old for that much excitement and a beer or two!):

    We just got home after going to dinner after the game and we're worn out and have practically lost our voices. What a hard fought, tough game that was with lots of ups and downs. We almost had them on their heels when that pass went through our reciever's hands and they nearly returned the pick for 6. Then we intercept them in the red zone and a brawl nearly breaks out. I still don't know quite what happened that got several players all riled up and eventually got one of their players ejected.

    Lots of big hits and outstanding play by the Aggie defense and a couple of sensational catches by Doss and Harrell. They put a lot of pressure on Jake and we had a tough time getting to their QB. It was an intensely physical game and hope we aren't too beat up.

    It was a great atmosphere in the stadium with the fans really vocally supporting the team. I'm a bit bummed that we didn't get a sell out. You can't fault the athletics department for that though. They promoted the hell out of this game and tried about everything they could to get the students to show up. It was a good showing by the students but it could have been a lot better.

    The intensity of playoff football is up a whole level. It was so much fun to finally be with a crowd of Aggie fans that really got into the game and made a lot of noise. This is the way it should be all season long.

    Super proud of the Aggies. Time for some payback at EWU!!

    Nice write up, Russ.

    I think there is a good chance that the Ags can come home with a .500 record if they play the way they did yesterday. This team is still coming together but some of the combinations of players Jen Gross has been trying is beginning to pay off as the Ags find a rhythm.
