2019 ALL-BIG SKY CONFERENCE HONORABLE MENTION (COACHES): Offensive Line Jordan Ford, UC Davis,...Ford, a redshirt freshman from nearby Fair Oaks and Del Campo High School, took over the starting job at left guard for the 2019 home opener with Lehigh, and locked down the role the rest of the day.

2019 ALL-BIG SKY CONFERENCE HONORABLE MENTION (COACHES): Wide Receiver Khris Vaughn, UC Davis,...A junior sociology major from Redlands, Vaughn lived up to the preseason expectations of being the Aggies' "big-play" man among the receiving corps.

Jake Maier threw four touchdown passes, Ulonzo Gilliam Jr. had a career-best 242 yards rushing and two TDs, and UC Davis beat Portland State 45-28 on Saturday. Maier was 27-of-38 passing for 383 yards with one interception and Gilliam had a career-high 29 carries. Freshman Lance Babb II had 10 receptions for 168 yards and three touchdowns - all season highs - and Khris Vaughn added five catches for 121 yards and a score for UC Davis (5-5, 3-3 Big Sky Conference).

09/07/19 - Ulonzo Gilliam Jr., rSr/2023, California-Davis, 5-08, 193 (DS#69 RB) + More +

Ulonzo Gilliam scored the winning touchdown with a short run and UC Davis stopped San Diego at the goal line with two seconds left, defeating the Toreros 38-35 on Saturday and snapping San Diego's 21-game home winning streak. San Diego had just taken a 35-31 lead when UC Davis (1-1), ranked No. 5 in the STATS FCS poll, answered with a 14-play, 81-yard drive that ended with Gilliam crashing through the line from the 1 with the winner.

The Toreros (0-2) marched 91 yards to the 4 in the waning minutes with Reid Sinnett rolling out to his right and tossing a short pass to a wide-open Daq Irby. UC Davis' Devon King came sprinting from the end zone to close the gap and hammered Irby just shy of the goal line, forcing a fumble to prevent a score and preserve the win. San Diego's 21-game home win streak had been the longest active streak in the FCS. - AP College Football
