CAL Rugby just beat SMC by 1 point to advance to the semi-finals next week. The game was as expected, gritty and filled with lot's of unforced errors. BYU visits CAL for the game next Saturday. And, Navy knocked off the #1 undefeated Army team today by a lopsided score.
I watched most of it and not sure you can learn much given a bunch of guys we’re held out due to preserve health - Alfieri a back up TE was RB2 to give context to the number of guys held out - and scheme was obviously vanilla.
But I did notice a few things:
- the offense is noticeably faster both in terms of player speed and tempo
- there will be shots taken down the field
- the o-line is still going to be a problem but at least Sam Jackson can scramble
- the transfers on the defensive side will be good, especially the kid from Florida
I saw the interview with Madsen during this. He sure interviews well. It’s hard not to get excited with Madsen talking while Sam V throws a nice one deep.
Was there live and like everyone said Sam Jackson was FAST and also showed off the cannon of an arm. The OL though has me nervous so hoping for steady improvement or else Sam will be running for his life. I do think Mendoza will be a competent QB should the unthinkable happen.

Back in the box for the spring showcase, someone fast forward 5 months it feels like the season already!

- new kicking game is certainly welcomed

Had it on the calendar to watch but a BBQ has broken out...hopefully it will be repeated/streamed??

Go Bears. It will be cool to see Sam V taking some snaps
Where is Ott?
Go Bears! Also hoping I can stream this later as today is a big track invitational for our son.
Unable to watch today due to preexisting commitments. How is the offense looking, esp the QBs?
