2011 San Diego State Outlook
For the first time in as long as I've been paying attention to college football, San Diego State's questions and worries are not centered on its running game. Rather, its attention is focused on new starters on the sideline, not the field. Five new coaches are on the scene following Brady Hoke's...
Washington 16, Cal 13: Dear Jeff Tedford, Please Fix The Offense
The story of the game to me was not Chris Polk striding into the end zone on the final play of the game, although it was a fitting end to a very disturbing 2010 California Golden Bears football campaign. It was not Tosh Lupoi falling on his sword and biting one for the Cal program. It wasn't even...
Oregon Ducks Roundtable: Does Cal Win If Giorgio Tavecchio Makes It?
1. If Cal has a slight lead (perhaps 16-15 or 18-15) going into Oregon's final drive, how do you think the game turns out? Berkelium97: Cal makes the field goal and has a 16-15 lead which they hold until the end of the game. After kneeling in the victory formation to end the game, Mansion...
Golden Spotlight: Nick Aliotti's Aggressive Oregon Ducks Defense
While a lot of the focus will be on the Oregon offense (and we'll get to get that later), there seems to be a lot of people ignoring the importance of the Ducks defense and Nick Aliotti's contributions to Oregon's BCS Title run. The Ducks are breaking the record books with their scoring, but they...
Cal vs. Arizona State Post-Game Thoughts
(1) Tedford was showing a bit more fire and emotion. Maybe it's because he can feel the heat and criticism following last week's huge loss to USC. Maybe it's because his seat has never been warmer than ever before (even warmer than 2007). But against Arizona State, I felt like we were seeing a...
State Of The Cal Football Program, Part IV: Position Coaches Evaluation
Part I on Tedford & Riley, Part II on the big picture, Part III Andy Ludwig's playcalling. Today, we look at position coaches. Untouchable Ron Gould (running backs), Tosh Lupoi (primary recruiter/defensive line): Best units on the team, most invaluable coaches on the staff. They ain't going nowhere...
State Of The Cal Football Program, Part III: Evaluating Andy Ludwig
Part I on Tedford & Riley, Part II on the big picture. Now onto positional coaches who are under the most heat after Saturday's performance. We start with offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig. Things got a little heated, so this'll be its own post. Avinash: I don't like his playcalling. Here's what...
USC 48, California 14: Golden Bears Paint A Portrait Of FAIL
(Note: I have to get this out of my system. More serious thoughts coming later this week.) via thegifblog.com In an unbelievably dominant display of FAIL football, the California Golden Bears were the victors, getting run up and down from start to finish in a 48-14 loss to the USC Trojans. It was...
Cal vs. UCLA Post-Game Thoughts
(1) 2010 Riley is better than 2009 Riley, but 2010 Riley still is inconsistent. There's a lot to say here. (1)(a) He misses some easy passes... still. That pass to Vereen along the sidelines could have been a touchdown had Riley not under thrown the ball. Some of his other passes to other...
California 35, UCLA 7: Shane Vereen, Defense Submarines Bruins
The California Golden Bears overcame a subpar passing attack and weak special teams play to beat the UCLA Bruins by doing the two things football 'experts' harp on to win football games: running the ball, and playing great defense. There was a Ravens-esque quality to the way Cal beat up UCLA for...
