Really great preview! Absolutely love the structure of having the gifs embedded to show the person/point you're making.

Thanks so much. Great stuff. QB play wins and loses games. Duh. They will not be as good as last year, and we beat them, at home. Our O is simply more experienced and at least as talented. Our D is comparable. We win this game 7or 8 out of 10. Go Bears! Continue to crush the little dogs with mighty Bear Roars!

IF this game happens, I'll be intrigued to see how UW's tackles perform, as both are new starters at that position. Their LT will probably be fine as he performed well at a different role last year, but it's still a shuffle and you never know.

If it's Sirmon, how weird must it be having to dial up blitzes and root against your nephew for an evening??

Looking forward to the game. I hope there is a bit of a drop off in their running back play. The last two backs they have featured, Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed were pretty good. If they can't run the ball successfully on the Bears and have to rely on the passing game with an unproven (at least at the Pac-12 level) quarterback then I think that is a recipe for a Cal victory.

Thanks for the Preview, CH.

Two questions: are any of the mystery QBs a running threat at all (enough that they’ll play the QB shuffle depending on game situation), and is there O-line in shape to open holes for their stable of RBs, or will it just depend on their running talent level?
