    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.

    He doesn't need to, he just needs to move around until a WR comes open.

    So the only thing tha

    Cal's defense may be improved but thats because it was humanly impossible for it to get any worse.

    You've played the 150th rated strength of schedule according to Sagarin. UW's is 89. Your schedule is the 3rd worst in the conference.

    Your defense is 11th in the pac-12 in yards per play. 12th in rushing D and 5th in pass efficiency D, buttressed by some interceptions against Grambling St, who is #212 in Sagarin. Oh and San Diego St just lost to South Alabama who is #141. Your D has also given up the most plays over 20, 30 and 40 yards and the has the least amount of fumbles forced. Positives are sacks, tfl's and interceptions. Maybe the DL is getting some pressure.

    Texas' Offense gained 167 vs. ND then 277 vs Rice, then 650 against Cal.

    The Cal D is bad and certainly much worse than Utah St's. The difference is Cal has a much better offense than Utah St.
    Basically, this.

    If their defense is so improved why are they still ranked so shitty in every single category.

    With the schedule they have faced they should be EASILY in the top half of the conference in defensive categories. And that INCLUDES Texas who is an offensive dumpster fire.

    It will be a tuff game because their offense is legit, but UW can win because our defense is good enough to at least slow Cal down sometimes and our offense can probably look better against the 2nd worst defense UW has seen so far.

    Vermeil's best record at UCLA was 9-2-1 with a Rose Bowel win. That's good.

    Donahue with 10-1-1 in 1982 (and won the Rose Bowl)
    He also went 9-2-1 in 1985 (and won the Rose Bowl)
    He also went 10-2 in 1988 (and won the Cotton Bowl)

    The old man name you might be looking for is Henry Sanders, who went 66-19-1 over 8 years, invented the UCLA uniforms as we used to know them before Adidas fucked them up this year, and was responsible for UCLA's only Heisman winner and national championship

    Henry Red Sandeds also was found dead from a heart attack in a motel with prostitute a few years after he won a NATTY. You should have read the full Wikipedia Page. F for effort, fag.

    Donahue was mediocre. Most broon fans view him as a slightly more than 'okay'. In the 80s and 90s UCLA/SC/UW all took turns dominating the conference, the difference between Donahue and Don James is TD never made it to a natty with Troy Aikman. Those teams were loaded top to bottom. Also his down years in between QBs usually got real bad. His teams were also very conservative.
    Terry Donahue was,is and will be the best coach the bRuins will ever have. Brooins want to fondle Jim Moras ballbag for beating Lame and Cutty sarks fraudulent Trojans. But Mora will never have a one loss season nor win a major bowel. Let alone a handful of them.

    This argument is about as fuckin savvy as the Coogs who don't want Mike Price in the Cougar HoF... just yet. Nobodys taking the Cougs to 2 Rose bowls in 5 years again either.

    Cook that shit!

    The defense does suck and Browning is mobile, so that doesn't give me much confidence in the pick, except for the white helmets.

    he's run for a total of -6 yards this season. . .

    Goff's a good QB but I'm not sure that I'd say that they really push the ball down the field much.

    yeah it's a real weakness. . .

    Through the first three weeks of the season, he has thrown just three incompletions from the 17 passes travelling 20 yards or more through the air, with his 14 completions going for 447 yards and two touchdowns. That gives him a nation-leading accuracy percentage of 82.4 percent going deep—not bad when you consider just three quarterbacks are above the 60 percent mark.
