(Have we come up with a name for this play yet? Check out the rest of Durrett's photos here!)
Hopefully the people who watched last night's Texas-Texas A&M and saw how the Aggies gagged it away due to aggressive defensive playcalling. Norcalnick has more:
If anybody complains that Gregory should blitz more I’m going to direct them to watch this Texas- Texas A&M game. A&M keeps forcing 3rd down, then sending idiotic 6 man blitzes and McCoy takes advantage of single coverage to convert. He’s been burning them all game. Their d coordinator is a moron.
Although I know most of you aren't a fan of the way the Bears sit back in zones much of the time, this strategy does have its merits, and it would have worked perfectly in last night's game. Instead we're one step closer to the inevitable SEC-Texas title game that we've been anticipating since last January.
Oh, and it should be noted that A&M missed a crucial short field goal late that ended all hope for them. Why'd they miss the chip-shot? The ball was placed on the right hashmark rather than centered in the right place. Hmmm...
Not saying this makes the decisions Tedford made last Saturday right or wrong, but weird stuff happens in rivalry games. You'll never convince me otherwise.
After the jump, a look at today's schedule!
Anyways, while the crazies among us are trolling the Walmarts and the Best Buys of the world, the rest of us sit down and enjoy one of the best weeks of college football for Cal fans--two days of rivalry games, plenty of Pac-10 intrigue, and no Cal game to stress ourselves out for!
On ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU most of the rest of the day: Many college hoops tournaments--in case your interest in the college football season has died down, there's plenty of hoops for you to sample!
8 AM PST/11 AM EST: Rutgers at Louisville, ESPN2, Temple at Ohio, ESPNU--One of these games has big time ramifications in determining its conference's champion. The other game is Rutgers-Louisville.
9 AM PST/noon EST: Illinois at Cincinnati, ABC--This'll probably be your first glimpse of Cincy football in quite some time. Are they worthy of a trip to Pasadena?
11:30 AM PST/2:30 PM EST: The Iron Bowl, Alabama at Auburn, CBS--Can Auburn throw a monkey wrench into the SEC's quest for another BCS bid?
12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST: Nebraska at Colorado, ABC--This is either a great chance to scout for next year's Colorado-Cal game, or a good look at whether Nebraska has any shot at knocking off Texas in the Big 12 Title game.
4 PM PST/7 PM EST: Pitt at West Virginia, ESPN2--Can the Wannstache and Cignetti keep the Panthers chugging to a BCS berth?
7:15 PM PST/10:15 PM EST: Nevada at Boise St, ESPN2--The WAC championship.

As it turned out, stanfurd’s plan for the final drive was:
1. Have Luck scramble out of the pocket for yards
2. Dump off to Gerhart for some yards on a checkdown if Luck was in trouble
3. ???
4. Profit Prophet!
Praise be to Tedford!

Way to cherry pick from a shit team in A&M and somehow make the point that if Cal blitzed the same result would happen.
Sure a blitz can back fire, especially if you over do it. However, the opposite approach, our awesome BBDB, produces similar results – it just takes a little longer and therefore is more painful to watch.

This would be a better point if our defense hadn’t had two awesome performances back to back in which they did minimal bending or breaking
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
see, I don’t even see Cal bending but not breaking. Cal has given up plenty of long touchdowns this year. Where do Cal fans get the ‘bend but don’t break’ idea? I don’t see any reason to call our defensive scheme that name.
I mean, against Stanford they gave up a 61 yard run (breaking), one 19 yard drive and two other TDs. Most of the other drives were not ‘bending’ drives – quite a few were 3 and outs.
beyond Gregory not calling it the bend but don’t break (and I have no reason to not believe him) Cal’s defensive results don’t even resemble that title.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
you may have a point with the style of defense we play.
My point was that with exception to the last two games, and the Maryland game, our defense has been subpar all season. The two recent performances are not the norm, and Cal fans still may have a legitimate greivance with the state of our defense.
I’ll just say that if you were a DC in the Pac10, you would be every OC’s wet dream with your defensive philosophy.
Ezeff: would you put him in man coverage all the time?
Cattouse: check, he’s pretty good last time I checked.
Johnson: I seem to recall him getting smoked in the 4th quarter of the Big Game
Hagan: knee injury all year that has hampered his play
Hill: Oh yah! young but getting better
Thompson: people like to ignore the fact that he got injured early in the season and has been hampered by it most of the season
Nnabufie: he’s just getting his feet wet but is far from reliable
Conte: add your comments here
LBs: would you really trust dropping these guys into man coverage all the time?
Good, you acknowledged that a blitz can backfire. You are making a believer out of me that you have some intelligence upstairs, but I’m not quite convinced. So if we blitz and it backfires, the other team scores and the pain subsides faster. Great, so our offense goes back onto the field. Last time I checked, our offense does not score at will on opponents. But that’s ok, let’s just do a 3 and out, put the D on the field, have them blitz, and get burned again. Rinse, lather, repeat.
Your constant whining about BBDB and Gregory is so old and tiresome. It makes you look stupider each time you complain about it. Instead of bitching about our defense, why don’t you be reasonable with yourself and offer some logical solutions considering our personnel. Or am I putting too much confidence in you to do that?

So if we blitz and it backfires, the other team scores and the pain subsides faster. Great, so our offense goes back onto the field. Last time I checked, our offense does not score at will on opponents. But that’s ok, let’s just do a 3 and out, put the D on the field, have them blitz, and get burned again. Rinse, lather, repeat.
So true. When your D isn’t top notch, you want to slow the game down and make the opponent drive the field. When your offense can’t score at will, you want to slow the game down and keep them on the field for a long time so their ineptitude only has a chance to shine through on a smaller amount of drives. But being aggressive on D with personnel that doesn’t completely match the aggressive play (which is what Cal’s D is like right now), can result in the D getting burned quickly, resulting in the offense going back out on the field, resulting in a punt, resulting in an opponent possession, and resulting in more opponent points.
If Cal had better personnel suited for an aggressive defense then I think we would be more aggressive. But as Cali49a points out, we don’t have superb personnel suited for an aggressive defense. Our best two pass rushers are Alualu and Jordan. We lack a great pass rushing linebacker. Our past pass rushing linebacker is probably Mohamed but he’s better served in coverage as since he’s our best coverage linebacker. The next best pass rushing linebacker is probably Price but he’s not even that consistent with his pressure. As for our secondary, Hagan/Nnabufie/Hill, all have had problems with their coverages. Syd is generally fine. But Johnson is pretty bad in man coverage. We just don’t have the two corners, and a third safety that are truly great in man coverage disallowing us to leave them on islands alone.
Bottom line: personnel dictates scheme and tactics. In 2008 we had a better defense filled with better pass rushers and a better secondary (Hagan was playing better in 08 than 09). That allowed us to be more aggressive. With a weaker defense this year, we have to play it safe more and make the opposing offenses drive the field.

Always. Screw Auburn. Tuberville is such a whiney coach.
Wait, what? He doesn’t coach there anymore?
7
He’s not? Who the hell is coaching Auburn then?
Is it telling that I neither knew nor cared that Auburn changed coaches?
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Gene Chizik, former coach of Iowa State.
More importantly, though, Gus Malzahn (former Arkansas OC, when they played for the SEC Championship in 2006) is Auburn’s current OC.
7
Really? Did I miss some sort of parallel universe where Iowa State was good enough in football that someone was stealing their coach from them? What’s with that?
Malzahn had a nice run at Tulsa, though.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
...
I can’t tell if you’re serious.
It was a HUGELY controversial firing at the time, given that Tuberville had his first losing season and had beaten Alabama six straight times, yet got fired and replaced by a guy who won four games in two season at Iowa State.
So far, though, the results are shockingly positive.
7
Wow, no, I was totally being serious. I don’t understand that move at all.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
I can’t say I blame all the ‘sky is falling’ talk; I guess his record as DC at Auburn makes a bit more sense. Still, wow…
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
will always think it’s unfair to judge a coach based on the first two years of his time at a shitty program… I mean, Iowa State is now bowl-eligible this year with more of his recruits seeing PT

well, it’s unfair to judge him based on wins/losses alone, but you can absolutely judge him on whether the players are playing harder, are more motivated, whether the team is in more games or not that they were before, whether the coaching staff is putting players in position to succeed, whether they are recruiting better players, whether the coach handles the media well, etc…
not that I know anything about Chizik’s qualifications with regards to any of those, but you don’t just say those two years count because he was at a very shitty program.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
The walrus in the bathtub that nobody talks about...
…was the extent to which Auburn was under the thumb of booster and trustee Bobby Lowder. That whole operation was Confederate Gothic for a few years, including turnover of the school president and Auburn coming damn close to losing its accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools. I think things have settled down somewhat, but the arrival of Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa created a sense of urgency down on the Plains that may have adversely affected their judgement in coaching matters.
I don’t have any reason to hate Auburn, but my fantasy football season is riding on ’Bama’s defense providing me with one more stellar performance. So, Roll Tide! Beat Yellow Fever!
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
we appreciate all your support today
and will now accept donations of brown liquor to get over the game.

We're talkin' about practice
One of the players who stuck around for a bit was tailback Dasarte Yarnway, who went through contact drills and scrimmage for the first time in over three months after he had surgery to repair a ligament on his right big toe. He loved being back on the field, and coach Jeff Tedford said Yarnway carried the ball five or six times in the scrimmage and looked fine.
"Now it’s all about confidence and continuing to master the playbook," Yarnway said. "I think the future is going to be very bright."
Praise be to Tedford!
Cal Football 2009
All the teams that Cal lost to this season are presently ranked above Cal in the Pac-10 or go by the name USC. This is a nice change from the the last five seasons where Cal inevitably drops at least one game to an underdog (although OSU was not favored this season, they are arguably a solid squad this year). Just thought I’d throw that out there.

Don’t forget that we won one game on the road that was a comeback drive in ASU; against Arizona and Stanford (I can’t call Stanford a road game, given that it’s BEAR TERRITORY), we held onto a lead that normally we would have let evaporate.
This team has recovered quite nicely from two crushing performances.

We did excercise a few demons this year. Winning in LA, winning in Arizona, winning on the road, winning on grass, but we still need to figure out Oregon St and USC.
What the hell is the deal with Oregon State?!
They always lose to bad teams and beat good ones. AEWG UAHJ

OSU has lost to Cincinnati by 10, USC by 6 and Arizona by 5- not exactly any bad teams on that list, and all close games. OSU is just plain solid

Yeah, we want to jump out to an early lead and put this away.
I went to the game at UW in ‘07 (up until Oregon this year, the worst performance of the Tedford Era — we kicked off both halves!), and while the weather wasn’t great, it wasn’t as bad to play in as USC ‘07 or Oregon ’08, both in Memorial. Seattle doesn’t get nearly as cold and miserable as Pullman does.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
You’re right. We’ve been lucky… and QBs running for it on 3rd and long have fuckin’ kicked our ass all year. I just hope the players’ minds are right for this game. Thank God they had a week off to come down from the Furd win; they gotta get back to work this week.

There’s not many “The Sky is Falling and let’s blame whoever we can blame” conspiracy theories that go on here. And if they do, posters usually dispel them. I appreciate that – it’s gets so utterly sickening reading that kind of crap on message boards and watching myths turn into facts.
I have no problems with people that disagree with my opinions as long as they have evidence to support their reasoning. That’s the whole point of having these discussion forums and that’s the reason why I am here. I draw the line when a poster makes a statement that doesn’t make much sense, does a piss poor job of backing up their statement, takes their ball home when they get 0wn3d repeatedly with logic, takes subtle cheapshots each time somebody makes a point they don’t agree with, and then even has the nerve to say they don’t agree with you and dont have the time to argue with you about it. Yeah, that’s the 33Swisher’s MO when it comes to discussing our defense. I really don’t pay much attention to that poster but when I do, I have noticed s/he takes that approach.
I don’t appreciate waking up the day after thanksgiving, warming up my leftovers, and then reading some tantrum that makes little sense and is directed at one of mods, who works his ass off to provide content to discuss on this site, because s/he doesn’t like what was written. Seriously, if I wanted to deal with the terrible twos, I’d babysit my friend’s kid

I don’t like the infighting at all, but have you been to the other Cal message boards? this is about as friendly/supportive as you’re going to get
this is how it is on all fansites…especially when the team has been very two-faced over the course of the year (I’m sure you recall our good and bad games). also, cal fans can be a grumpy, pessimistic group. that said, most people on here are lighthearted and take it with a grain of salt.
anyway, as we can all see, one or two losses hardly prevents a ‘doomed’ season

The crash is under investigation and charges are pending.
Woods pulled out of his driveway in the Isleworth community when he struck the hydrant, the Orlando Sentinel reported, citing the FHP.
He then plowed into the tree on his neighbor’s property. He was taken to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, Fla.
Woods was apparently traveling under 33 mph because the Cadillac Escalade’s airbags didn’t inflate, the FHP told the Sentinel.

3) Within a minute’s drive from an Asian shopping center
So, which high-risk demographic group was responsible?

Really? Looks a lot like Cal’s offense at the end of last year. Gimmickery, reverses, deep balls.

Well, based on their record it hasn’t been particularly successful. But then went from doing pretty much nothing offensively last year (3-2 win over MSU!) to putting up a lot more points, a lot more consistently this year. I mean, last year they didn’t score a point against the Tide. They are a good offensive, that was really lighting people up early in the year before the teams figured out how to deal with it.

I think there should be one heisman per year, and in year’s like this we should be able to award it retrospectively. (formulate your own system for calculating which years no one deserves it).
Vince Young, Adrian Peterson, Marshall Faulk, JJ Arrington – all of them would have won it this year.

Quick Survey
You’re Auburn in this game. You score a TD to make it 27-20 with 8 minutes left in the game. Do you go for two on the PAT or just kick it to make it an 8 point game? I’m sure you guys know the benefits of each scenario.
Physical.
Kick
I’d take my point.
The Ultimate Opportunist
by Rated-R Superstar on Nov 27, 2009 2:21 PM PST up reply actions
Kick it
Todd would throw a pick-six (or pick-one, it’s one point if they return it all the way right?)

I guess they don’t have to worry about it now – but I think you always take an 8 point lead.
by Tedfordisgod on Nov 27, 2009 2:22 PM PST up reply actions
i like the risk-reward of 9 points versus 7… what about if it was a different amount of time. say, 5 minues left in the game?
Physical.
by Thoroughbred on Nov 27, 2009 2:24 PM PST up reply actions
I am no clock management expert, but I guess later in the game, going for two makes more sense. With 2 minutes – it makes sense – much harder to get two scores at that point. 5 minutes – might depend on the Alabama’s timeout situation.

Point

The Ultimate Opportunist

I go for 2
I look at the way my D has played and take a chance at making it a 2 score game. If it fails, they still need the TD to tie it
Physical.
by Thoroughbred on Nov 27, 2009 2:23 PM PST up reply actions
but I understand the great value of 8pt lead vs 7pt… I guess in most situations, I would just take the 8 points.

I’d like it more if I knew my defense would play the same with a two score lead as a one score lead…usually defenses drop off their efficiency when they’re given a cushion.
