At least once a year the football world is treated to a FCS/1-AA school surprising one of the BCS giants on their own field. *We saw only one last week (Youngstown St over Pitt by 14 points), and almost witnessed a few more (Maryland barely squeaked by William and Mary 7-6, and Northern Iowa almost shocked Wisconsin, for example). *It's happened to almost every FBS school over the years, with CU famously being party to it on a couple of occasions.
Sacramento State pulled their own David vs Goliath parable last season when they sneaked past Oregon State in the Beaver's 2011 season opener 29-28. *The final overtime possession looked like this:
It's up to the BCS heavy-weights to take these games seriously. *Some FCS teams are more than happy to collect their check and move on, but others live for the opportunity to grab the upset and see their highlights on SportsCenter. *There's no reason a FBS school with a full compliment of 85 scholarships should ever lose to a FCS school, but it does happen. *Hopefully the CSU loss provides*more*than enough motivation for the*Buffs*to prepare to beat the team in front of them, rather than look ahead to the road trip to Fresno St.
--
On Saturday, the Buffs return to beautiful Folsom Field for the first time in 2012. *I can wait to see the old girl in her sun-splashed gameday best once again.
Kickoff with Sacramento State is set for 1pm. *Television coverage can be found on the Pac-12 Network (if you get it). *Radio coverage, with the dulcet tones of Mark Johnson, can be found on 850 KOA.
