defense to play the role of spectator Sac State held the ball for 19:08 in the second half effectively keeping standout Bobcats running back Claude Mathis (143 yards in 23 carries) from doing any damage For the game the Hornets generated just enough offense (274 yards) to defeat Southwest Texas which finished with 295 feel real good" Stewart said defense played real well and stepped it up" Senior left tackle Jason Bannan put it more succinctly: huge our first win I almost forgot what it felt like to win" It was apparent that the Hornets had a chance when they escaped the dreaded second quarter with a 6-3 lead the first time they had been ahead at halftime thia season Entering the game the Hornets had been outacored 74-7 in the second period The Bobcats scored first when Matt Wieland

Press Stanford after first By John Schumacher Bee Staff Writer STANFORD Lawyer Mil-loy all-conference safety walked off the field at Stanford Stadium late Saturday afternoon with a message for the rest of the Pacific-10 3-0 he said with a smile the way to the A few minutes later Stanford coach Tyrone Willingham stood in a somber locker room with a much emptier feeling after 38-28 victory is probably the most disappointing day in my brief career as head coach at he said though we lost to a very good team I felt there were points in the ballgame we could have done some things to Lots of them The 16th-rank ed Cardinal which fell to 2-1 in the Pac-10 and 4-1-1 overall squandered too many scoring opportunities and committed too many mistakes to survive against a good team Consider: Stanford which had scored on 20 of 21 trips inside the 20-yard line going in marched to the Washington 12 on its opening drive before Eric Abrams missed a 29-yard field goal The Cardinal had a first down at the 5-yard line on its next possession But quarterback Mark Butterfield tripped over one of his linemen while dropping back to pass losing five yards Stanford settled for a 24-yard field goal from Abrams With Stanford trailing 13-3 and 6:26 left in the first half Willingham elected to go for it on a fourth-and-three play from the 8 But running back Mike Mitchell was stopped short of a first down 2nd half decisive Aggies lose 33-24 streak in jeopardy ByGaryVoet Bee Staff Writer MORAGA For the last 25 years UC Davis has had winning football seasons But that streak the best in Division II is in jeopardy after St College defeated the Aggies 33-24 Saturday at St Stadium The Aggies are 2-3-1 and must win three of the remaining four games to keep the streak alive It was a bizarre second half that sent the Aggies to their third straight loss all on the road After a 10-10 first half the Gaels (4-2) appeared to take con- trol Twice UC Davis failed to convert on fourth down and twice St capitalized on ensuing possessions for touchdown passes from Sean Laird to Ed Williams (58 yards) and Ray Scott (nine yards) for a 24-10 lead late in the third quarter missed the first field goal (31 yards) early in the game and with less than a yard (to go) I saw no reason why we make said Aggies coach Bob Biggs I had to do it again I would do the same The Aggies retaliated with a yard 19-play drive to pull within 24-17 early in the fourth quarter Aggies quarterback Mark Grieb who was 33 of 53 for 296 yards and one touchdown scored on a one-yard sneak On the next series the Gaels punted on fourth and two from their 32 But for the second time in the game during a punting situation the Aggies were flagged for having 12 men on the field The five-yard penalty gave the Gaels new life and they capitalized on fourth touchdown pass and a 31-17 lead Again the Aggies cave in going 64 yards on their next drive Jermaine Rucker scored from one yard with 6:29 left pulling the Ag-1 gies within 31-24 i On the next series Bonner Cunnings fumbled on the Ag- 17 UC Alonzo Grant recovered and with five minutes left the Aggies took possession on their 12 But the chance was Bhort-lived On the next play with Grieb in the shotgun formation center Mike Legrand snapped the ball wide of Grieb and Grieb was sacked for a safety and the Gaels had a nine-point lead with 5:08 I left The Aggies got the ball back one more time and drove to the St 23 Then Legrand had another bad snap Grieb scrambled after the errant ball and by the time he recovered it was a 21-yard loss One minute later the game ended kind of Legrand said of the two snaps know what Laird a sophomore who played at El Camino High School not only threw for four touchdowns (244 total yards and two interceptions) but ran for 69 yards it was a real personal game for Laird said year against Davis it was my first start and I went up there and embarrassed myself (a 13-0 loss) This game kind of was a

conversions before Saturday needed something to happen for us" It were doing everything right it seemed between the two said Butterfield who threw for 348 yards we got inside the 20 it seemed like we broke Stanford trailed 14-6 at halftime tied the game at 14-14 midway through the third quarter and then allowed Washington to score the next 10 points A few more points in the first half would have come in handy It help that Butterfield threw two interceptions both bouncing off his receivers His first turnover hit wide receiver Brian Manning in the shoulder bounced high in the air and right to linebacker Ikai-ka Malloe at the Washington 46 with 13:23 left in the first half Seven plays later the Huskies scored a touchdown to take a 14-3 lead other interception came with 3:50 remaining in the

electrifying 80-yard run with 1:04 left giving the 24th-ranked Huskies (4-2 overall 3-0 Pac-10) a 38-21 lead and ensuring they would keep pace with USC as the only unbeaten teams changes and two ties
