  Trent Tompkins scored on a 1-yard run with 27 seconds left to help UC Davis beat Weber State 17-14 on Saturday night in a matchup of two of the top teams in the Football Championship Subdivision. UC Davis (4-0, 1-0 Big Sky Conference), ranked No. 12 in the STATS FCS poll, had lost four straight against the Wildcats. Tompkins took a direct snap and raced around the left end to cap a 15-play, 69-yard drive that took more than 6 minutes off the clock, and gave the Aggies their first lead of the game at 17-14. Erron Duncan, a graduate student who sat out the unprecedented 2020 spring season, had his second career interception with 14 seconds left to seal it.
