Love this piece and look forward to more. While Auburn is a step up in talent, I do not agree that they will "expose" our weaknesses. Maybe it's just semantics, but I think they will be able to exploit things about our team more readily, as is normal in football, and we will do the same to them. Our coaches, especially on offense, are clearly able to exploit "weaknesses" on opposing teams.

My take is the old simplicity of line play will determine the game. If we can protect our QB, the Spav offense will score and move the ball. If we can more or less limit their run game, and force them to throw, we will limit their long drives and scoring.

All I know is that I'll be there and my best buddy, who since going to Cal in 1986, has never once attended a Cal football game despite remaining in the Bay Area, will attend his very first game with me on Saturday. I hope the house is rocking and we show Auburn a really bad time.

Hugh Freeze was quoted as saying he doesn't expect Memorial Stadium to be loud or cause any trouble like what they face in the SEC. Ok, maybe, but let's show them we aren't sisters of mercy state! I've seen Memorial full and loud, and it's awesome!
