"I mean, listen: We talking about defense. Not a game. Not a game. Not a game. We talking about defense. Not a game... Not the game. We talking about defense, man." --Chip Kelly, probably.
I'd like to see CG under center 90% of the time in this game. It will allow him to keep his eyes downfield at the snap versus being in shot gun and tracking the ball from center on the snap (those split seconds make a difference). Also, being under center will give fucla some pause as Cal can now run a variety of runs/passes from that formation, which may (or may not) slow down fucla's aggression. OL can't make any mistakes, especially holding penalties. The last time Cal faced a front like this (Wazzu) the OL had some issues. Yes it is a cliché but for this game a strong offense will be our best defense and we need the O to continue its dominance.
I heard fucla's defense has 11 seniors, damn that's a lot.
Funny how U say they are so bad but then talk about their great players. I can only deduce that bad coaching is to blame!!!! Several entities in my life that cannot lose too much: Notre Dame, Steve Sarkesian, [I’ll leave politics out of this], the Dallas Cowboys, tOSU, and Chip Kelly. I’m sure there are others (that rhyme with 2SC…..), but I find Kelly one of the most annoying hosers around…..
The line is up to 6.5, I guess Vegas is betting against Cal.
Have any QBs had good rushing success against UCLA? Wondering if Chase can run away from their rush?

I seems like they have plenty of weapons on defense. Chase's mobility certainly will help Cal gain the upper hand.

Hope the ositos bury their misery in Otito's cheesecake after losing this weekend.
