I'd take Rhode Island in round 2.

even better if Williams and Garretson decide to come back too

If we get the Connors back for next year, wow.

would much rather play Montana than the others in the top 5, always overrated

A win is a win.

Hopefully over the next few weeks, we stay health and get back a few players that went down in the first part of the season. Especially in the secondary. Also, I believe we can play Freshman AND preserve their eligibility if they play 3 regular season games or less. I do not believe playoff games count.

I thought he was cramping- you could see him trying to stretch both calves to work them out.

It’s a W - not a masterpiece but a win none the less. Defense was outstanding - take away the fluky 50 TD before the half (got them back in it) and we hold them below 300 yards and 10 points!

Harper’s performance in the first half (and the game plan to put him in situations where he should shine) may have saved the season. A loss there and the playoff possibilities get much tougher. I think the defense made adjustments to take away those crossing patterns and nice patterns to Fisher . Maybe the cramps had an impact also. But, in the end, we walk out of Greeley with another win.

Dial up the pressure this week and hopefully 2 halves of solid offense. Another must win coming up.

2025 Week 09 Montana Vs Sacramento State

2025 Week 09 UC Davis Vs Northern Colorado

Agreed. If we can put a perfect game together, it's doable. Let's just not start from such a deficit this year.

I am totally good with the Causeway fading away. Other than proximity, we are not natural rivals like UCD and Poly.

In other news, I have a coworker that went to Ball St. Turns out Sac St. and Ball St. played a series in baseball this past spring. I hope that series becomes a tradition.

agree

We should just end it. Sac State is not a school I want to be associated with.

Enjoy the win and Paris. My wife and I were there in May. Defense did well and so did special teams. Running game solid. Didn’t know Grant Harper was cramping - might have been why he sailed a few in second half. Glad offense was on in first half.

I LOVE UC DAVIS FOOTBALL

I'm happy to admit my pessimism was unfounded.

#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.

Still a lot of game to be played, but certain predictions that this would be a close shootout aren't looking so hot

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

To answer my own question, it's neither. Harper is a pretty good passer and UNC's pass defense has not been up to the task today,

I seem to remember Plough did say that he thought Harper was looking great in camp and I just thought it was conciliatory talk. Man the QB decision must have been tough for the staff

LETS GO DEFENSE!

Cofield broke on the ball before the receiver. Nice!

The broadcasters are fine but I think I will need to take some seasickness pills for this camerawork.

There is no way that this is the angle we have to watch the game from...holy moly

Adversity! The best teams rise above……well, the “deepest” teams anyway.

Not sure where this comment goes... With 71 new players and new coaches, does this potentially last Causeway Classic even mean anything to Sac State? It'd be a bummer if 70+ years of a rivalry just went out with nothing more than a fizzle. Maybe Flushman can get Little Yachty for a post-game concert to get more Hornet fans to show up.

No hat. Also not much smiling.

Brutal news, but Harper has been around the block. Maybe not a ton of game experience, but he's a vet and I expect the offense to still get the ball moving. Northern Colorado definitely is susceptible to the run so could be big games from Fish and Vargas.

This game is really important. If they win this game, I think they will make the playoffs. A loss here means they will have to sweat it out. I'm not convinced they make it with 7 wins.
