thedozen: After the way the game started, it was a relief to have a two touchdown lead by the fourth quarter. Cal turnovers kept UC Davis in it for a while, but this wasn’t really a terrible performance. In the end, I agreed with Justin Wilcox’s comments before the game that he didn’t expect the team to be perfect in its first game action.
DaneStopper: After that disaster of a start, the team settled in and used their physical advantage to wear out Davis. It’s always nice to see a win, but I didn’t leave feeling like there was anything better than last season (except Chris Brown).
