Behold the awesomeness that is me

And in other news: UCA quarterback Nathan Brown really isn't that good. He has a weird, throwing motion. So he isn't a pure passer and he doesn't have great feet either. He's a product of UCA's offensive system, they throw all the time and the reality is that once you get past a couple of schools in that conference, most of the other teams are middlin' at best.

If you got some free time on Saturday night, it wouldn't be a terrible thing to go watch UCA and UAPB play at War Memorial, but don't skip your daughter's wedding for it.

CONWAY, Ark. – UC Davis found its rhythm late Saturday night against No. 22 Central Arkansas.

After a miserable first half, the Aggies (0-2) started rolling late, but it wasn't enough as Central Arkansas (2-0) held on for a wild 24-21 victory.

The game wasn't decided until the final minute of the fourth quarter, when Central Arkansas defensive back Anthony Gambles intercepted a Greg Denham pass in the end zone.

The interception was the lone blemish on a good night for Denham. In his first career start, Denham, a sophomore, completed 30 passes for 296 yards and three touchdowns.

Denham admitted he had some jitters in the first half, but, he said, "I got more confident. I was able to get into a rhythm."

In the first half, Denham only completed 6 of 13 passes and was sacked three times. But in the second half, Denham wasn't sacked and completed 24 of 32 passes.

"It was our offensive line," UC Davis coach Bob Biggs said. "We got a little bit more time, we were able to get the quarterback a little bit more time to throw. That was the difference."

UC Davis had to go to Denham because the Aggies couldn't get anything going on the ground. As a team, UC Davis finished with a miserable 11 net yards on the ground.

"We have to have more balance," Biggs said. "We have to be able to run and throw, and we weren't able to run. That's got to improve."

Denham's main target was wide receiver Chris Carter, who finished the game with 13 catches for 189 yards and two touchdowns.

"That guy was good," Central Arkansas coach Clint Conque said. "At the end, we had two guys on him and he was still making plays."

For Carter, a junior, it was a career night. But he still left the field disappointed.

"I really wish I could have that last play back," he said of the game-ender. "Maybe make a better play on the ball, but he made a good play to get the interception."

UC Davis comes home to face Portland State on Saturday night.
