Sacramento State went into the game undefeated and ended it that way. The Hornets defeated the UC Davis Aggies 27-21.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento State and UC Davis went head-to-head in the annual Causeway Classic, Saturday night.

The event held record turnout with a whopping 23,073 attendees watching the game at the Hornet Stadium. 

But this year is different than most; Sacramento State went into the game undefeated. UC Davis was coming off five consecutive wins after losing its first four of five games this season.

The Hornets lead the Big Sky Conference with a 7-0 record in the conference and now an 11-0 record overall. Montana State leads right alongside Sacramento State with a 7-0 conference record and 9-1 overall record. The Aggies are right behind with a 5-3 record in the conference and 6-4 record overall.

This year's football team is the second in Sacramento State history to win 10 games in a season and the first to do so in the regular season, according to the university.
