SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Sacramento State Hornets will face The Texas A&M-Commerce Lions on Saturday night at the Memorial Stadium. The game will kick off at 4 p.m.
Sac State is looking for its second win of the season, while Texas A&M-Commerce hopes to get its first win. Sac State has lost two games against FBS schools, San Jose State and Fresno State, but played well enough to be highly ranked in the polls.

Texas A&M-Commerce had a close game last week, losing to Grambling St in overtime.
