What was the deal with Kap?

Expand full comment

Shredded us. I remember, back when I was teaching high school in nearby Ceres, the buzz about this amazing QB at Pittman High School. He just dominates the local high school conference. Then, he shredded Cal, when we played Nevada. The “Pistol Offense,” was deadly to us.

CAL seemed to have run scheme defensive problems all that year. I don't know how much was coaching, personnel just not good enough to make the right read (RB vs QB in the pistol) or Kap being a demi-god that game... oh wait, a bit of it all but give credit where it's due... Kap was amazing!

Yeah, when Kap took the 49ers to the Super Bowl I didn't feel so bad about that loss anymore. Cal went up against a special talent in that game.

I remember our DC that year learned from that Nevada game and really improved against option plays run by far better rosters.

He was amazing. I held out hope he would make a comeback as a pro.
