Tonight in an attempt to feel some normalcy I went to the Griz first away game of the season against UC Davis (which happens to only be an hour and a half away). You can say what you want about the game, but we played like crap tonight. We have a couple of green quarter backs, and lost a lot of great players to graduation last year. Mariana, and Reynolds are really the only thing holding our offense together, but they don't seem to have a lot to work with. The game started with the teams going back and forth punt for punt, when the Griz started to concede stupid fouls, and the Aggies put one through the up rights to make the score 3-0 Aggies. The half ended with that score... yeah, exciting I know right? :( The Second half didn't seem to change much at first with the exception of a great punt return of about 30+ yards. The Aggies took advantage once they got the ball back though and continued to one receiver (Carter) who when he was covered couldn't do anything, but Coach Hauk never had him covered! The Aggies scored early making the score 10-0 Aggies. Finally the Griz started to show some life after trading another couple of punts with Davis, and following a beautiful 60+ yard reception/run putting the Griz on the 2 yard line Chase Reynolds ran the ball in with the PAT giving us a score of 10-7 Aggies lead. the Griz started showing life, but still committed some stupid fowls. Thankfully the Aggies made mistakes of their own like a fumble on the 25 yard line resulting in another Griz touchdown. 14-10 Griz lead. after some more "entertaining" football the Griz notched a field goal for a score of 17-10. On the Aggies final drive they started on their own 33 yard line but after a long pass to... guess who was not covered... Carter putting them deep in Griz territory. The Griz were looking strong in the red zone, and the Aggies were forced to take a time out with less than a minute on the clock, and a 4th and 7 from the Griz 12. Just as the players were returning to the field... Bam... All the Field's flood lights turned off. This resulted in a 20 minute delay in the game as they let the lights cool, restruck them, and let them rebuild intensity. Even after this long timeout caused by an "accident," The Griz held the Aggies one more time for a final score of 17-10 Griz win. A win the team definitely didn't earn tonight, but hopefully they will learn a lot from tape, and bring their A game the rest of the season. If anyone in the Bay area would like to attend a Griz game, I am planning on attending the Sac State game as well in late October.

Lights out for UC Davis
