As well as side to side. It was probably 115 yards in all.

93 yards. He’s had 4 80+ yard runs in his last 18 games which is just incredible.

Florida has fumbled at least 3 times on Arkansas’ side of the ball, including inside the 15.

Also, Arkansas should have scored a TD at the end of the half but two Ark receivers ran into each other.

by Nashville on Oct 17, 2009 2:20 PM PDT up reply actions  

Tough vote. Most of the time a 15 point halftime lead would warrant a “playing very well” vote but the defense and special teams have been iffy enough to bring my vote down to a “moderately well.”

Pleased with the game so far. Sure, our defense has been soft. But focus on the fact that it hasn’t been killing us. Our offense has been moving. Awesome.

How many great big plays has our offense had? Big runs by Best and Vereen, deep throws by Riley, a huge game from Marvin, good pass protection. Lots of positives!

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

by norcalnick on Oct 17, 2009 2:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

Exactly. Vereen is finally making the coaching staff seem smart for insisting that he is just as good as Best.

Run protection hasn’t been the best for Best, but they do have Brian Price. Best eventually decided: fuck it, I am scoring here and there is nothing you can do about it.

Riley has had some poor throws, but from 2 weeks ago to this week is like shit to a diamond.

KO

note UC Los Angeles, with an excellent kicker and an excellent punter, has the punter boom the kick-offs out of the end zone. (I think Locke has been handeling the ko.)

I think most teams shy away from that, worrying that the KO mechanics will screw up their punter. But seems to be working for them. I wonder if it is something Cal should consider with the strong leg of Anger.

On Cal’s last offensive series, Mark Boskovich and Brian Schwenke were in at guard. It looks as though the coaching staff is rotating players on both sides of the ball because of the heat.

Cal’s band plays 4 or 5 modern pop songs that I’m not a fan of, but are cool to hear from a band. Organized, original, well done.

Our band plays with 26 high school bands so there’s no room for choreography or anything interesting. I like our band. LET THEM PLAY.It’ss one thing to bring in this stuff in September when we don’t have our full band, but this is a joke.
