UC Davis wins 2nd straight Causeway Classic against Sacramento State
UC Davis football finished off Sacramento State 42-39 Saturday to lock up its 10th win of the season and a second-straight Causeway Classic victory.
A total of 36 points were scored in the fourth quarter with touchdowns scored on four consecutive possessions between the two teams.
UC Davis’ Lan Larison ran for 148 yards on 23 carries, scoring three touchdowns.
He finished with 69 receiving yards on four catches to finish with 273 all-purpose yards, adding 56 kickoff return yards.
Miles Hastings threw for 398 yards on 27-of-36 passes to finish with three passing touchdowns on the game for the Aggies.
Sacramento State’s Carson Conklin threw for five touchdowns, the first QB to do so for the Hornets since 2019.
Conklin also set the school single-season passing record by a freshman with 2,758 yards.
This marks the regular season finale for both teams. But it also marks the end of a disappointing season for the Hornets where they finished 3-9 overall and 1-7 in the Big Sky Conference.
The victory improves the Aggies to 10-2 overall and 7-1 against Big Sky opponents.
The Aggies now wait to see where they fall in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Division I playoffs bracket Sunday. It will be revealed during a selection show on ESPNU at 9:30 a.m.
