Fresh off watching the game, Dwight links up with former QB Danny Alfaro for immediate postgame reactions to UC Davis’ crucial road win over Idaho. The Aggies bounce back after last week’s sting, showing discipline, urgency, and a business-trip mentality. The guys break down Caden Pinnick’s poised performance, Gbatu's big-play consistency, Ian Simpson’s emergence, and the defense’s relentless response led by Captain Jayden Stanley.
With playoff positioning still in reach and Montana State looming, the Aggies have everything in front of them — and tonight’s win shows they’re ready for the stretch run.
