After just watching the SDSU/Wazzu game, Auric's 4-2 defense is not a typical keep-it-front-of-you air raid defense. Auric is more aggressive - presses his secondary a bit closer to the line, frequently gambling on blitzes/slants/stunts, and allowing linebackers to quickly attack. So his defense tends to be all-or-nothing - stuffing a play for no gain or getting gashed for big gains because they leave soft spots open in order to gain the man-advantage somewhere. If their safety isn't healthy, their backup was mistake prone. Wazzu made the Aztec defense pay with play-action, counters, and deeper throws as coverage gets stretched.

Should provide some challenges for JKS to learn from, and then lots of opportunities to break some big passes and keep developing the run game. Could be an ideal setup for Cal.

Can we just please blow these scrubs out 45-3 or something and act like a team that's an actual ACC contender.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the game. The Golden Bears through three games have provided ample opportunities for fan enjoyment across all units (especially Special Teams! who would’ve thunk that?!). I’m looking forward to the Bears building on the 1st three games and providing new wrinkles that stymie the opposition.

Run the football til the dam breaks! Then blow up the score with play action passes.
