The Northridge players who did play Saturday wore stickers with the numbers of injured teammates on their helmets. Whenever they can motivate themselves, the Matadors have done so this season. And it is working. Against Davis, they needed to win to show the people of the Valley that they could. For the big victory at New Mexico New Mexico, state in the SW United States.

And the severity of the injury linebacker Scoody Woods' suffered in Saturday's second quarter was not known. If one or all of those players is out, Northridge has shown it will find a way to go on. Oh, and by the way, while games against Portland State do not count in the Big Sky Conference standings because the Vikings must complete a two-year probation period after moving up from Division II, the Matadors are counting Saturday's win as their first in the conference - at least in their hearts. ``We consider it a Big Sky win, you bet,'' Baldwin said. ``They have just as many scholarships as we do. They're a member of the conference.'' Getting the first official victory in the coming weeks will likely prove more difficult.

If I could suit up tonight, I'd play.'' Baldwin, who said he will have to see if Mack played too many downs to be eligible for a medical redshirt, was reluctant to discuss Mack's return. ``We'll see what the doctors say,'' Baldwin said. ``That's going to be a tough decision, letting him come back.'' Commish visit: Big Sky Conference commissioner Doug Fullerton was at Saturday's game as part of his three-day visit to Northridge. Fullerton met with everyone from university president Blenda Wilson to coaches. ``I'm pleased,'' the commissioner said. ``. . . I hope they can start drawing a crowd (for football games). But I think a new stadium is part of that. I don't think they can wait too long.'' Fullerton said he will be pleased as long as Northridge begins construction on a new stadium in the next three years.
