Cal Postgame...

[richmondcuse03]

Well, I had no expectations yesterday based on three things. First, it is always difficult to play a West Coast game, seldom do you win. Second, SU seems to always fall behind by two touch downs in the first quarter and thirdly, we are a little banged up.

They played a good game and won and didn't have to" Hose Off" Fran at the airport.

I liked that we won the toss and took the ball. They wanted to get things rolling early.

Not until that monster earthquake.

Even then, they won't really be Pacific coastal, just on the Gulf of California.

I watched the first half on DVR later and listened to some

What a difference the OL changes made

Very happy with the win but also frustrated those changes took longer than they should've

Cal really stunk it up. Only loss of the year that wasn't really close

They didn’t look bad by luck. Cuse won in all the areas Cal had been elite in. They were 9th in the nation on rush defense. Cuse ran for 150 and 2 TD’s. Cal was 2nd best at forcing TOs and 1st in INTs. Syracuse had 0 TOs. Cal was top 10 in sacking the QB. Syracuse allowed just 1

That’s good preparation and game planning

Other than those two long runs that the D allowed, to me the D looked different to the eye. The rush, tackling and coverage (even field goals) looked like it was another team on the field.
The offense was early season efficiency and how about Trebor Peña?
The dude is reliable, fast, tough and smart.
If this game mentality continues for the next two games, this will end up being an amazing season with a bright future.
Side note:
If you have never been to Northern Cali, I would highly recommend that you get out there to witness unbelievable natural beauty. The place looks like it was made out of picture postcards.

Take away those 2 big runs, they ran for 38 yards on 21 carries. The tackling was much better. Safeties took bad angles on those 2 runs.

The RBs had 12 other carries for 30 yards. Still that is a great job for those 12 carries.

Elijah was intense and on the d line before the game started during warmups. Loved it.

I think if someone gave me a bottle of Old Spice, I'd be mildly offended. I doubt anyone under the age of 30 uses it, so giving me that would be like a subtle way of saying "you're old". About the only thing worse would be Grey Flannel since I don't think many people under 65 use that anymore.

Isn't Old Spice cool again? The commercials are entertaining.

I loved the Cal campus when we were doing college visits for my daughter. The neighborhood around it is cool if you are an old punk rock guy like me, but I was a bit worried with a daughter if she had gone there. Northern Cal in general is beautiful. I need to win Powerball to move there, however!

My local museum is currently running a punk rock exhibition. It mentioned the east & west coast meccas for the genre. My wife & I couldn't recognize many of the names of the west coast bands.

That is cool! I definitely know a bunch of the bands on there, but most are British that I know, with a few exceptions
