GRR: Sacramento State
With three games done in the California Conference, Saint Mary's, as expected, leads.
And so we’re down to eight teams in DIAA, and it’s time to make some picks.
Upset? What upset?
Sacramento State might have been the #2 team out if the Pacific Western Conference, and they might have been playing the #1 team out of the Gold Coast, but the Sacramento State players and coaches did not think it was an upset to beat the 49ers and make the DIAA quarterfinals. Not by a long shot.
Sacramento State and UC Davis will meet each other Sunday afternoon after the teams won Pacific Western semifinal games Saturday.
UC Davis handled Nevada fairly comfortably 35-3.
Sacramento State may well be one of the dark horse teams in DIAA.
After starting the 2016 season with a somewhat shaky win over UCSB very shaky loss to UC Davis, the Hornets lost again a week later, this time to Stanford. But since then, Sac State has won six in a row, including this past Saturday’s 50-19 defeat of previously 5-1 Nevada-Reno.
