MSU, Sacramento State each looking for first league win
The Bobcats may not be at full strength today, but the team will at least be fully-armed. Running back Chad Newell is expected to play, as is receiver/return man Jayshawn Gates. Each has been hampered with leg injuries lately.
Newell played last week after missing the previous two contests, and has gained at least 100 yards in each of his two games this year. If all goes well during warmups, Newell is likely to start.
