If you're going to run Wildcat again,
then give it some variation! Either give it to Solefe or make a throw. What’s the point of doing all the play action, if Vereen’s going to keep it all the time?
Shit’s dumb. They need another year or two of running it to put in enough wrinkles

It was tipped because it was too high because it was a bad throw

No there was a WR in front of the two DBs who could've caught it if it wasn't tipped

umm sorry
high ball, in the red zone, no reason to risk it, take the sack
kevin needs to learn not to force things, this is on him

good point, i just want kevin to learn to take a sack and not even risk it

It was an extremely bad pass

Yeah, that’s a pick. I can’t quite put that all on Riley though. It’s hard to blame a tipped INT on a QB.

Something that might be interesting to look at is what percentage of our TDs happen inside the red zone, and how many from outside.
For some reason I have the image that we suck inside the red zone. Maybe it’s just from the past few games though…
Should be easily researched, but now’s obviously not the time.

Thing about Vereen...
He’s not faster than Best in open space. A Jaguar isn’t faster than Best in open space. (Cat or car.) But I think that hitting the line, running inside, Vereen is the more effective runner. And in a game like this, with lots of keep-away and run-the-clock, Shane may just be the guy we need.
shane is a phenom in terms of coachability and improving every game.

2nd half
riley needs to not overthrow it, and when he doesn’t overthrow, our receivers need to catch the ball.
I think it’s more of the last point than on Riley. He’s made a few bad throws, but the receivers really aren’t helping.

I’ve counted three drops so far (drops being when a ball hits your hands). Riley hasn’t been totally accurate, but if we keep hitting Miller and Lagerman and looking for the big play from Jones… all we need is for Vereen to do his thing and we’ll be in this.
I find that option routes with a RB matched up on a LB almost always work.

by yellow fever on Nov 21, 2009 5:56 PM PST up reply actions
They’re showing us a ton of zone so I’m really looking for crossing routes from Lagerman and hitting Miller when Riley has protection. I have no complaints with what Vereen has done thus far.
Riley can really thread the ball in those slants and in the middle of the field
I’m impressed
In other words, Go Bears!
Furd’s scores pretty came from Cal’s one sloppy play and the blocked punt. Overall, we dominated them. As long as we stay disciplined, we will keep the axe.

Psychology
The second quarter didn’t just help us feel better. I’m sure getting that touchdown was a monkey off the team’s back. Now it’s 14-10 and Stanford looks decidedly beatable. Cal dominated the second quarter.
and we get the ball back. Same thing, Bears. Punk these fools.

Do you want to know what the Stanford fans are feeling right now?
They feel like they’re losing this game. Really. We have the momentum and their defense has NOT been able to get off the field. I can’t remember the last time the Furd had to punt this often during the first half.
exactly. Execute boys.
Come out level-headed and ready to execute. No need to get hyped up. We are the better team.
