NCAA PLAYOFF TEAMS (2001) 25 #12 CALIFORNIA-DAVIS 42 QUARTERFINALS • NOVEMBER 24, 2001 TOOMEY FIELD • DAVIS, CALIF. (5,377) AGGIES OUTSCORE TEXANS 21-8 IN FOURTH QUARTER; TARLETON’S SEASON ENDS IN 42-25 LOSS DAVIS, Calif. - Glenn Adriatico of UC Davis returned a fourth-quarter kickoff 66 yards for a touchdown and scored again less than two minutes later on a 55-yard reception as the Aggies pulled away from Tarleton State for a 42-25 victory in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals. UC Davis overcame Tarleton leads of 7-0 and 17-14 to pick up the win. The Aggies took a 21-17 lead in the third quarter as RB Sean Holleman scored his third TD of the game, then Davis got the ball right back after a Tarleton punt and pushed its edge to 28-17 on the first play of the fourth quarter with Mike Oliva’s 19-yard TD catch. The Texans answered as Tarleton QB Steve Kelly completed 5 of 7 passes on a 9-play drive that ended with Kelly hitting Aaron Lucas on a 14-yard TD pass. Chavis McCollister then scored on a 2-point conversion run, cutting the UC Davis lead to just 28-25 with 11:40 left in the game. Tarleton was flagged for an offsides penalty on the ensuing kickoff, and after being forced to kickoff again, Adriatico gathered the ball at his own 34-yard line and raced unscathed in front of the Tarleton bench for the game-breaking TD. The Texans picked up one first down on the next possession before turning the ball over on downs at the UC Davis 45-yard line. That’s where QB J.T. O’Sullivan delivered the knockout punch, hitting Adriatico in stride over the middle for a 55-yard TD toss at the 9:28 mark. The score was tied 14-14 at halftime, with Tarleton turning the ball over twice in UC Davis territory, including a D.T. Hopkins fumble at the Aggies 1-yard line. Tarleton gained 489 yards on 76 plays but was just 2 of 13 on 3rddown conversions, compared to an 8 for 11 effort by the Aggies SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 SCORE Tarleton State 7 7 3 8 25 California-Davis 0 14 7 21 42 SCORING SUMMARY 1st Quarter 04:10 TSU C.
