I certainly didn't watch the Weber St game but it doesn't look like they did anything good based on the box score.Tequilla said:
The numbers are actually quite comparable in each of those 4 games and regarding Herbert if I recall right he was hurt later in the game ... but point taken there.FremontTroll said:
Yes, they did well against Browning even though that game was never close and they managed to knock Herbert out and draw Alie which was obviously beneficial.Tequilla said:I also know that Cal had some significant injuries on the defensive end of the ball towards the back half of the year as their numbers look far different when you look at the 1st half of the season to the 2nd half.
In games against USC, Oregon, Washington, and Washington St, Cal's numbers were as follows:
Yards per Attempt = 5.9
Yards per Completion = 8.7
Completion % = 68.0%
For perspective, the leading totals for the conference in Yards per Attempt/Completion were:
Yards per Attempt = 6.3 (Washington)
Yards per Completion = 9.8 (Washington)
But now it feels like you are cherry picking data to fit a preformed narrative.
They also gave up 9.6 ypa to Weber St and 8.3 to Ole Miss prior to those four games.
Against Ole Miss, they did a tremendous job of sitting back and waiting for opportunities for turnovers particularly in tight spaces.
Against Weber St my guess is that they played super vanilla.
Weber State was winning after 3 quarters. Then their last 3 possessions went: fumble, turnover on downs at Cal 13, turnover on downs at Cal 5.
Not sure how tremendous their strategy was against Ole Miss vs simply lucky but one less INT and they likely lose despite holding Ole Miss to 53 yards rushing. -
I think I watched every gamednc said:
Bullshit. Stats mean a lot. They don't mean everything, and if Cal really did sell out to stop the run and maintained an equal pass defense then that's impressive. I have a hard time believing you watched more than a couple Cal games in 2016 and 2017 though. I doubt @BearsWiin even did that shit.Dennis_DeYoung said:Stats don't mean fucking shit.
This shit doesn't mean anything. The guys is a boss coach. If you watched the games from this year to last (which I did), then you would understand.
If you think receiving stats tell you the whole story about how good DBs are playing you are crazy.
Alexander is really good. Stats are for losers.
Cal had a lot of injuries and played a lot of inexperienced kids on defense. They gave up plenty of big pass plays this year, too.
This isn't necessarily a Wilcox defense; DeRuyter is the DC, and my impression is that Wilcox lets him do his thing.
Looking forward to another year with this coaching staff
The Last Jedi is very good
Spent the last four hours playing Cards Against Humanity with three drunk fuckworthy college freshman girls, the last thing I want to think about is the fucking Cal pass defense -

Wife was in the next room with the other adults reliving her childhood by dancing and karaokeing to 80's music, I wisely chose to play with the youngstuff. Wife joined us for the last hourRhythmicSlappingDawg said:
