On August 23, UC Davis was set to play in the FCS Kickoff in their first of three nationally televised games this season. With just 7:46 left in the fourth quarter, and Mercer having the ball with a 1st-and-10 at the UC Davis 48-yard line, the game was suspended due to lightning. [7] In the early morning hours of August 24, it was announced that the game would not resume, and that both teams had agreed to declare it a no contest despite the Aggies leading 23–17. [8]
