give their QB a lot of credit for that. He converted several long third downs after getting flushed from the pocket and making a great pass.

That kick return was huge. Up 14-0, have all the momentum, and all the sudden they are right back in it. Seems like they got it right back and scored again and then we had a battle.

Run defense is my concern. They were averaging 4-5 yards a carry. Even when we brought pressure to the right spot, we never stuffed them. And that was a young line. Gotta fix that soon!

Play calling was interesting at times. Goal line INT on a weird formation, the 3 runs on first and goal from the 20, fumble on a reverse....

I’d be shocked if it’s full. In the past, it was about half full for our games down there. Maybe the 2:00 start, and early in the school year makes a big difference? Their largest attendance last season was 3100

Bob’s article covers the situation very well.

We fly out at 11:30. As opposed to our trip to San Diego State two years ago, it’s AM this time not PM. That wasn’t my finest moment in travel planning.

Remember last year’s game got dicey. They had a pick 6 then scored immediately after our quick turnover to turn 20-7 into 21-20. Remember Plough called a hook and lateral to Doss on next possession that kick started us to a big win.

Year before was close for a half. Doss scored on a 75 yard bomb a minute into the game, but was 14-7 us at half. Hawk went for a 4th and 1 on OUR 30 that broke for long TD, and that broke it open.

No turnovers, get ahead early and pull away

and you can set up tailgates in those lots

There’s plenty of $10 parking options. The high day pass is for the tailgating lots. Ticket prices have gone up the past couple of years, but you should be able to find cheaper options close to game day

story of the year, no competition! great to see her comeback.

we’re staying walking distance from Old Town, so we’re planing to hit one of the many Mexican restaurants there.

An aside: I grew up in Antioch, went to Davis and now live in Livermore- three of the hottest spots in the extended Bay Area. So, how did 78 degrees feel so damned hot!

Give it up for the D who battled to the end despite being on the field a lot in the 2nd half

I give sac a break; they play at Arizona State on Friday. Short week and 100+ weather; that a breather in week 1. Wasn’t too long ago they lost to one of the directional Oregon teams

Little concerned about the inside backer play; they ran there over and over, and we never seemed to make contact early in the hole. I think that exposed our safeties to some long passes (cheating on the run). Thought DBs were solid; second TD was a flukey tip that should have been incomplete.

Ran the ball well. Jake missed a couple open guys on long passes, but that’s gonna take time. OL gave him pretty good time against a good DL.

After some first quarter jitters, special teams were solid. Nice to see 2-2 on FG.

I’m in section N; guessing we’re in MM-NN,

some interesting matchups. Montana game will give a glimpse as to where they are this year. Same with Poly/San Diego. EWU might give Washington some fits; I'm not sure how good the Husky defense is, but their offense wasn't much last year.

So was the coach’s show broadcast somewhere or just to the vast crowd at Sudwerk?

Says Wednesday August 28; all I heard was the interviews with Starkey and Wilcox. A’s were on KHTK

I’m listening to aggie overtime on iTunes now. Link in article

if you want a frosty reception from the Cal fans, wear RED.

Rich Martini. Played way back in the Raiders' Super Bowl win vs. Eagles.

I know we are very thin at inside backer. Spring injury of someone (missed the name). No idea of the reason why anyone else is out and wouldn’t put it here if I did.
