Photos from the 2026 season opener between UC Davis and Portland State on Saturday, Aug. 29, in Hillsboro, Ore.
UC Davis led by quarterback Treynor Cleeland’s two touchdown passes and running back Jordan Fisher’s two scores from the ground.
The Vikings ambushed the Aggies early for a 21-0 lead. Tyrese Smith scored a pair of rushing touchdowns and Cru Newman returned a punt 78 yards to the end zone.
UC Davis’ first points came on safety after a missed snap to the Portland State punter. The Aggies took that spark and started to climb back. They tied the game 24-24 on Cleeland’s 15-yard touchdown pass to Samuel Gbatu Jr. Cleeland connected with Picket for the two-point conversion, and later found him again on a 22-yard, catch-and-run touchdown for the go-ahead touchdown with 27 seconds left.
