Charbonet has way more experience. He is bigger and stronger than Ott and is actually a different type of RB. Ott is faster then Charbonet but Charbonet has plenty of speed, and he's a load and not scared of contact.
I go by the film. What the stats don't show are missed blocks by TE's, or 5, 6 and 7 man defensive fronts that bring pressure in overwhelming numbers, a lot of which has to do with down and distance situations. Stats don't show delayed blitzes or outside speed rushers lined up way outside where the OT cannot effectively get to them. Plummer must make these reads.
You can't run into a stacked box and you can't throw a deep ball against an o-line being rushed by superior numbers. Against 4 down and a 6 man box, our o-line has been serviceable. Plummer takes part of the blame as well. The film tells all.
Surprised no one from DBD has popped in to copy and paste some complaints about Musgrave's play calling with an undermanned offense yet. I'm sure some Old Blue somewhere expected Cal to have a bigger lead on BYE by now.
Really would love to chill with Wilcox some time and get the real reason why he turned Oregon down…from a play design standpoint and schematically, their offensive culture is light years ahead of Cal…it remains a baffling turn of events. Wonder what is the actual reason, and not some speculation by the Wilcox fans.
Maybe he never turned it down? And his agent made up a story?
And Oregon doesn't care enough to go out of their way to deny it, or it was probably better off that way because there were certain donor voices who wanted Wilcox hired at Oregon, and the story worked out because AD didn't have to offer Wilcox at all.
That Incarnate Word HC turned Wazzu OC is a game planning/play calling whiz for the Cougs. It’s easier when you’ve got an NFL player that he knows under center, for sure, but still - these calls keep D’s so off balance…that Cal L on the Palouse is so on the Bears O…the D kept them in it.
TRESHAUN HARRISON 58 YARDS TO THE HOUSE AND THE BEAVS ARE ON TOP 28-27 with 14 SECS TO GO.
Off the defender's helmet. Pac-12 After Dark delivers again!
Actually, (only) a 56 yard play. But there was even less time left afterwards, just 13 seconds. Still just as exciting.
The UCLA attendance is like a Cal game. And two top 20 teams!
Kalifornia college kids no longer seem to care about football.
Agree. I live in a school district that sends 20-30 kids to Cal every year, and they are, for the most part, openly contemptuous of football.
That's notably more emotion about the subject than most have.
That’s a problem

Charbonet is the best RB in the conference. Big and fast.

A lot of the Rose Bowl is tarped off. Maybe 40000 in the stands, probably less.

It was a Wilcox blowout of BYE, 24-13.
BYE doesn’t wrap up well…Cal’s O-line is once again a leading tackler of the Bears ball carriers…kinda like at Wazzu.…
What happened to furd? Is Shaw burned out? Seems like they still recruit really well, but they suck.
Like Tedford, he just declined and failed to really adapt the program or hire good coordinators.
His OL has managed to road grade on this final drive and put a big 3 up on the scoreboard.
Cal would’ve gone 3 & out with predictable running plays, punted, and given the ball back to Oregon St with plenty of time left. Turtle time.
Dumb pick 6 for DTR
Oregon St had already proven the folly of throwing at Clarke Phillips III. DTR throwback moment on an otherwise masterful afternoon.
I am not even sure why UCLA was even throwing on that down.
Looks like USC and UCLA are the top 2 teams in the conference.
I think their offense is strong enough to make up for any deficiencies on defense.
There’s not a ton of teams with an O good enough to keep pace.
Mirrors that are the best in the country at takeaways.
Chip Kelly looks like a pink lizard
He is pink.
Oregon State wins 28-27. Are you kidding.
OSU will get the ball down 27-22 with 58 seconds and no timeouts
Conference of Cannibalism…
Usually is, though the Cougs would disagree in the aftermath of a couple of their games against ranked opponents lately.
Sure, tho that’s a program that has made a new class of gaggin’ it!!! Cougin’ it!!
Jimbo with a Musgrave type offensive play call to end the Bama - aTm game. That play has no chance of scoring.
Zero chance. No imagination whatsoever…you’re not going to beat Bama in Tuscaloosa on a quick out to the short side.
Not if its short of the minimum mandatory distance to gain on said play.
Seriously. I get going to Stewart, your WR1, on the play…but that one never stood a chance.
SDSU - Hawaii is looking ugly.
Illinois - Iowa was a snooze fest.

This how I always felt it went down. Interested in and an actual offer are two very different things.
I can’t believe that WSU OL just got called for targeting while throwing a block. That’s a bit ridiculous.
Cam Ward is the type of talent tho that can give this USC D fits…and he is.
Most chaotic QB I've seen in awhile. It's like he's playing backyard football out there.
He still owes them two interceptions, though.
True…and they will come.
Also, that OL continues to give him time to make a sandwich in the backfield.
Welp, the better Wazzou plays the better we look.
