Notes from the sideline:
Game was not televised

What it means for the future (Analysis):
The Zags never trailed,they opened the game up 17-0 and at times seemed to struggle on the road against the Waves, but it really never was a game. I expect this to be a nice learning experience to teach the Zags what kind of competion they will experience on the road in conference this season. Its not like they were going to win every game in conference by a 35 point margin, but Pepperdine should not have made the game even that close. We now head to LA to play another cellar dweller in Loyola Marymount...Can you say win #5 in conference?
