    What will be interesting is how your D does bs an offense that actually can be considered at least average. (Not trying to troll but it is true)

    Our defense looked bad against Texas, but if you don't have a mobile QB, then it is a lot easier for us to defend.

    They were sending 3 people deep through our shallow zone with the last being a wheel route. It was uncovered because we were worried about the QB running. They got a couple open receptions off it, so we switched coverage and didn't have CBs in the flats anymore. This allowed Heard to run, and he was just too fast for us.

    Bottom line is that not many teams have a QB like that who can exploit our weakness.

    Your defense sucks.

    You mean like Cyler Miles?

    If Cal struggled to contain Texas's QB, that speaks more to me about the team speed of Cal than anything about Texas's QB having wheels (and he does).

    What does that mean for UW?

    Browning clearly isn't going to take off and run for 100 yards. But what we saw this weekend with his ability to manipulate the pocket with his footwork should continue. Moreover, there could be opportunities in the passing game with drags and throws to the flat where we get guys out in space. and let them run around a slower Cal team. It would not be surprising to see Washington get another big play in the passing game this week.

    Stick to academis* smack-talk.

    Cal gave up 21 (-1) points in the 4th quarter.

    Looks like Sonny Dykes will be working on the team's ability to #Finish this week

    The difference is whether he can out run LBs and DEs. Browning can't beat angles like Heard can. That's a huge difference and is what allowed Texas to move the ball.

    So Cal's Achilles heel is a team with Mike Vick at QB. If the other team doesn't have Mike Vick, Cal's defense will hold rather easily.

    Got it.
