Kickoff scheduled for 1 pm PDT at PGE Park in Portland, between the two urban campuses in a mostly rural Big Sky Conference. Kind of a rivalry feel to the game as both cities (Sacramento and Portland) enjoy competition in the PCL and the NBA. The Hornets won last year in Sacramento to end an eight game losing streak to the Vikings. The Hornet offense will work on holding on to the football as when they do that, they are extremely effective (as in the second half last week against EWU). The Vikings offense, led by QB Drew Hubel, have shown an ability to move the ball, yet have not been able to convert within the 20 yard line. Weather is to have showers in the area and temps near 60.
