Cal v. Washington State 10.24.09 Pregame and First Quarter Thread
Use this thread to discuss all the pregame and first quarter action against WSU. The game isn't on TV, so we'll be relying upon Joe Starkey (link to radio broadcast exclamation point exclamation point) to tell us what is happening. For those who don't want Starkey, this should hopefully work too. It'll take a village to follow this game, so let's get crackin! And don't forget to vote in the CGB Insta-poll.

Lots of good games on right now, I have no idea which ones to stick with.

Oh man I'm nervous about Cal playing at UW
UW has a lot of weakness but I don’t think Cal is capable of taking advantage. :(

Depends on how we improve during the season.
Right now, I think it’s a crapshoot. Washington still isn’t that good

someone explain if i'm misunderstanding things
…but isn’t the point of the wildbear, or wildcat, or whatever, that you’re snapping it to a player who is a big threat to run OR pass?
so don’t you have to mix in a pass attempt out of that formation? otherwise it’s just a direct snap to a running back, which is an obvious running play.
Extra blocker
The run can go to Best, Vereen or Isi. Or potentially they can throw. But more for the direct blocker
In other words, Go Bears!
yeah, that’s why vereen would be a better option

The big thing is usually trying to get a man-on-man blocking setup. That’s what I’ve heard NFL analysts explain it as.

ah, okay
i get that there’s an extra blocker, but then how does it differ from any other direct snap play if you never throw out of it?
by atomsareenough on Oct 24, 2009 2:00 PM PDT up reply actions
It isn’t, really, it’s just that there’s supposedly the element of surprise from being able to hand off on endarounds and the like. It’s not really all that revolutionary, and the Dolphins would be the first to say that.
