ABOUT THE BULLDOGS
CSM will look to bounce back after suffering its first loss, a narrow 23-20 setback at then No. 6 state-ranked Modesto Junior College last Saturday. The Bulldogs entered the game as the No. 1 ranked team in the state.

San Mateo fell behind early, trailing 10-0 after the first quarter and was down at one point 17-2 midway through the second. The Bulldogs got within three points in the third quarter but stalled in the final period.

Despite the loss, running back Lolo Mataele had solid game for CSM. He ran 26 times for 146 yards with a pair of TDs. For the season, Mataele has ran for 5 touchdowns and 316 yards.

On defense, Nate Abbott produced a highlight play, blocking a second-quarter punt near the Modesto end zone that resulted in a safety.
