SACRAMENTO — The Sacramento State Hornets will host the UC Davis Aggies for the 70th Causeway Classic on Saturday. Though this is being billed as the 70th Causeway Classic, this will actually be the 71st all-time meeting between the two college football teams. They also faced each other in the 1988 postseason.

The 70th Causeway Classic was going in favor of No. 5 University of California, Davis, as they led 21-14 in the third quarter. Redshirt freshman quarterback Carson Conklin orchestrated a six-minute drive to take Sacramento State down the field and put them in the red zone,

This is the second consecutive year that UCD (7-1 in the Big Sky, 10-2 overall) beat Sacramento State (1-7 in the Big Sky, 3-9). The Aggies took the sting out of the Hornets 31-21 in the 2023 regular season game at UC Davis Health Stadium.
