Sacramento State at Portland State

[JALMOND]

Kickoff scheduled for 1pm PDT from Portland's Jeld-Wen Field. The Vikings are fresh off an impressive road win over Eastern Washington and look for the home win over the Hornets. The Hornets come in to the game off of a close loss at home to Northern Arizona. Not much for playoff impact as both teams, even with a win today, most likely will be on the outside looking in come Thanksgiving weekend. The Vikings will start Connor Kavanaugh at quarterback and the Hornets will most likely have Jeff Fleming back after taking the last couple weeks off with an injury. Weather may be a factor as the forecast calls for a good chance of rain and temps in the mid 40's at kickoff.

What a complete clusterfuck this game is. JFC. Hornets come out completely flat on offense. Defense is making PSU look like FCS passing attack leaders. But does PSU accept the gift the Hornets are giving them? No, they decide they want to hand a pick 6 over to the Hornets and then give up a snap over Kavanaugh's head and give the Hornets the ball on the PSU 1. Then, with about 30 seconds left in the half the Hornet coaches decide than an onside kick would be a brilliant idea. PSU doesn't cash that gift into points and this game sloppily moves on to halftime.

About the only thing done right so far this game by the Hornets is going for 2 after both TD's. Hopefully this means that Diniz was sent packing.

I can't watch anymore. I'm turning this abortion of a game off, going on a Costco run and getting geared up for the Bama-LSU game. WAFJ.

I'll take it, but it sure was ugly. Sac stopped us cold on the ground, so we went to the air -- successfully. Who would have guessed. We handed Sac State two touchdowns, but still managed to win. Amazing. I alternate between saying"Hey, that's what makes college football interesting" to screaming "argh!" and turning it off. Now if we don't lay back and let UNC beat us, if we play more consistently to beat Weber, we'll end up 8-3. Maybe even ranked?

Sounds like I was lucky that the kid had a X-Country meet today and I couldn't get into town to watch. Forget Weber, we're going to have weather next week at Northern Colorado. We will need to play better.
