#6 Sac @ Colorado State

[Green Cookie Monster]

Replay is on the Mountain West Network page.

Impressive showing all around. Hornets completely bullied CSU. Near flawless game at every facet. Hornet offensive line dominated. Great play calling and execution with a little luck at the right times. Only knock was a forced pass on a scramble by Dunniway that resulted in the first Hornet turnover of the year. This game hits the over if not for a few CSU defended passes at the right time.

Defense was solid. Much better open field tackling from a week ago and aside from two big plays by CSU’s playmaking receiver, the Hornets kept CSU in check all game long. Very impressive showing.

Special teams was solid as well. Coverage teams were on it and Fulcher had a great punt return. Sentkowski was on point yet again.

Complete team win. Wow, to dominate an FBS program like that is very impressive.

Agreed, near perfect game considering the foe and location.
Big item for me was only one, 5yd penalty the whole game. Consummate discipline.
Love the snail flash card, held up by Joe Wagner!

Enjoy it lads, we have toiled a lifetime waiting for this result.

I decided to put my two cents in regarding Troy Taylor and his future as Sac State's head football coach. I believe he will fulfill his contract and then move on to a more reputable university. I say this because Sac State doesn't have strong interest from the Sacramento community (whether it's the students, the alumni, businesses and individuals). Coach Taylor will do what he can to keep the Hornet football team a conistent winner, but I don't think it will mean much as far as new facilities or better community interest. So like I said, I'll just enjoy what's happening currently because I know once Mr. Taylor's contract ends, not much will change as far as Sac State's reputation.

Welcome to the board. I largely agree with the post about reputation, but we have an admin that is willing to invest in this program. Whether that can turn into meaningful facilities is something yet to be seen.

Thanks for the welcome. However, I have posted as EventCenterNow. I decided to change my user name to HornetStepchild to reflect what I think of Sacramento's relationship with Sac State. Obviously, I had brought up Sacramento's reluctance to support the university multiple times. My fear is that the event center might never get built. At this stage, I'll settle for a 3,500-seat indoor venue similar to what Portland State built (that's another story, however). In any event, I'm glad to see the Hornets get another win. Now let's see them keep things rolling in conference play. STINGERS UP SACRAMENTO!
