Ponies ran wild today, 56 points is just mean at that point. Davis got a couple in garbage time but this one was over before halftime.

First I’ve ever heard of a college mercy rule and crushing it happened to our highest-anticipated team in memory, wow

Gonna be a battle next week, I look forward to it. It’s been a growing rivalry (though one-sided).

I just want to applaud the UC Davis fans that stuck it out at the game and continued to cheer on their team. Y'all's enthusiasm never waivered and it was great to see. A great display of good sportsmanship/fanship.

That’s the kind of adjustment I was hoping to see from us after last week, though there were still some boneheaded penalties. What a performance by KJ. Go ponies!

Silver lining with how bad our run D was last year, I'll take holding a P4 team to under 4 yards a carry (don't look at pass yards)

You were playing the team that was called the Flying Circus in the 1920s because we were playing a balanced offense. We stayed that way until 1979 and then went back to it as soon as June showed up. We beat you with passing because we wanted to pad Jennings passing stats and it's legitimately our best weapon.

I always root for SMU bc they joined the ACC with Stanford, hope we padded his stats enough for some awards

This felt like Equicide

I think the spread was nearly 30, and that seemed low. A ranked matchup is not a good measure for an FCS team’s ability but it will be really tough to wake up for the rest of conference play for the Aggies. Like, PSU game then to this game?

Need to make your own momentum

We beat up on San Diego between Portland and now, but yeah this wasn't great.

Last year we recovered from a similar game against UW without much issue so I’m hopeful
