I re-watched the Nevada and TCU games. Cal is a pretty good team and this may be the most complete team Wilcox has had (sans the STs, I guess). I feel Cal can rebound from these 2 losses and have a successful season. Hopefully we can limit injuries and continue to develop the young talent on the team.
Well, the Cal offense did poorly against a bad Nevada defense and great against a good TCU defense. So if I were to extrapolate wildly here, since the Sac State defense is another step down from Nevada, they will obviously hold Cal scoreless with negative rushing yards.
Honestly no, I doubt Sac State can stop Cal's offense, even if Cal plays poorly. Worst case scenario you just keep running the ball and don't turn it over. I can't see how Sac State would be able to stop the Cal run.
The starting Cal O-line weighs an average of 305 lbs. Sac State's 3 big guys average 270 lbs, plus their speed rusher DE Josiah Erickson who's listed at 228 lbs. I expect Erickson plus a blitzing linebacker or someone will try to generate pressure by testing the lateral quickness of the Cal OL-- one defender rushes one way, then he has to quickly shift over the other direction to pick up the blitz, or something like that.

Glass is half full
I'd like to see 250 yards rushing and 250 yards passing against them.
Jayden Ott (RB) decommits from Cal. Is Martin next??
I read somewhere that he is visiting Ole Miss and UCLA. Though his verbal commit is still in effect.
Do you think these guys can really stop us? I guess it depends on which offense shows up or whether we make errors on special teams....

Shit has happened before.
