UC Davis

Still don't have a good feel for this team. They might be better than what I originally thought, but I don't want to get my hopes up. Saturday was a bit closer than I wanted. Figured the Cats would score 35-45 points, but would only give up 13-20 points. Granted, Weber turned the ball over on downs at the 3 and Butler keep a touchdown scoring drive alive with a really interesting roughing the QB call. Guy was still in the throwing motion when he got hit by Hardy. Yet, the game was too close going into the 4th quarter. That game should have been over at halftime. The Cats keep turning over the ball and disappeared on offensive for a quarter and a half.

UC Davis is an enigma. They can move the ball, but haven't been stellar on defense (like we have). I feel we have played tougher competition and that being 2-2 is as good as we could have hoped at this point. I'd like to see the Cats show up, play disciplined football and compete. That is the most we can ask for. A win goes a long way for this team. I wouldn't doubt seeing a final score in the 40s for both teams. Something like 45-42.

The Wildcats have to take care of the ball and not commit so many penalties to win on the road…I just don’t see it happening. I think UC Davis 38-27. I think this game will be a good measuring stick game. I think Wildcats are close to a 5-3 conference team, but just don’t have the discipline and coaching to get there. I honestly am thinking it will be a 2-6 conference team.

I don't know much about Davis, other than they were highly thought of at the beginning of the season. My feelings are that a win would be nice, but getting better and more consistent is what I expect. The Butler game was a bit disapointing. We show glimpses of becoming a better team and will follow that up by shooting ourselves in the foot. We are young, but we are not inexperienced any longer. It's time to settle in and start doing better.
