DAVIS, Calif. (Interstat) — A high-powered Rhode Island offense, led by quarterback Devin Farrell, meets a resilient UC Davis squad in a nonconference postseason clash Saturday at UC Davis Health Stadium. The Rams (11-2), riding a four-game winning streak, travel cross-country to face the Aggies (8-3) in a late-season showcase. Rhode Island’s two losses came on the road against FBS opponent Western Michigan and Ivy League member Brown. Farrell has been the catalyst for the Rams’ success, showcasing efficiency and dual-threat capability. In last week’s 27-19 win over Central Connecticut, he passed for 365 yards and two touchdowns while adding 20 yards on the ground. Over the last month, he has completed 75 of 126 passes for 1,046 yards and eight touchdowns with minimal turnovers, pacing one of the FCS’s most productive attacks. UC Davis counters with its own dynamic quarterback in Caden Pinnick. He engineered a 31-27 comeback victory over rival Sacramento State in the Aggies’ most recent game on Nov. 22, throwing for 306 yards and two scores. Pinnick has accounted for 10 touchdowns (seven passing, three rushing) over his last three contests, demonstrating a consistent ability to extend plays and find the end zone. The Aggies’ three losses have come against then-Montana State, a narrow defeat to Idaho State, and a season-opening rout at FBS powerhouse Washington. Their defense, which allowed 38 points in the loss at Montana State, will face its sternest test since that game. National Statistical’s game simulator projects a high-scoring affair, favoring the home team with a predicted final score of UC Davis 42, Rhode Island 25. The forecast sets the stage for a quarterback duel between Farrell and Pinnick under the California lights, with both signal-callers capable of dominating a game. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. PST on Saturday, Dec. 6.
