The end of this season symbolizes a new beginning for Sacramento State football as it loses two of their more prolific seniors.

Senior quarterback Ryan Leadingham and senior wide receiver Fred Amey call it quits for Division I-AA after Senior Night in Hornet Stadium this Saturday at 4:05 p.m. against Cal Poly.

Amey continues to perform, setting the Big Sky record for career receiving yards only last week with 3,806 in a 52-21 loss to Montana. Amey has arguably been the most dominant receiver to ever play for Sac State and hopes to enter the draft after his fourth year.

Leadingham leaves head coach Steve Mooshagian after setting a few records of his own. The senior quarterback set the bar for career passing yards, completions and attempts during his five-year stay in Sacramento.

Last week, Leadingham struggled against No. 9 Montana, passing for only 128 yards. Despite the low passing yards, Leadingham found both Phillip Perry and Amey in the end zone for a pair of touchdowns.

“I want to win … we got some momentum and it looks like we finally figured out how to play like a team,” Leadingham said.

Amey continued his Big Sky domination, catching eight passes for 108 yards and a touchdown in the loss.

Ramon Payne, the best defensive back on the team, will look to shut down the opposition in his final performance. Payne, whose five interceptions have him in a three-way tie for first in the conference, has one more chance to add to his sparkling four-year Hornet career after coming to Sac State from Gunderson High in San Jose.

Chris Bessinger and Harry Filo from the defensive line will also play their last games for the Hornets, looking to add to the school record for team sacks in a single-season, which was eclipsed two weeks ago at Eastern Washington and currently stands at 33.

The Mustangs threaten with an assortment of offensive weapons. Senior wide receiver Darrell Jones is coming off a strong game, catching 10 passes for 126 yards and a touchdown against Northern Colorado.

Senior running back Geno Randle matched Jones’ performance, rushing for 195 yards on 16 carries and a pair of touchdowns. The Hornet defense will have to find a way to contain the Mustang’s two most explosive players in order to win the final game of the season and improve.
