Wasn’t at the scrimmage, these were take ways texted to me. Told it was a full scrimmage as they want to decide on a QB soon.These were some of the takeaways given to me:bananasnblondes said:@sonics1993 were you at the scrimmage or did you just seen the score? Not challenging your assessment, just hoping the "alternate score keeping" theory that many people are claiming today is true.
Also, what a fucking situation with Huff. Our one consistently solid recruiter is an absolute shitstain as a position coach.
- OL inconsistent with missed assignments and gave up to my CB penetration.
- QB’s were missing readings and not being accurate.
- ILB still a work in progress
On the positive side:
-Rome was really spoken highly of
- Interior DL was doing a great job at the point of attack
- DB’s we’re providing tight coverage
These are notes from a guy who gives it to me straight. Not that everyone is a beast and going to have a big year BS
How long until the QBs get their reads down?
That sounds like a shitty brand of @Tequilla. -
Are they running power to try and get in with no early whistles or anything like that?
Until then, they're scrimmages and nothing more. -
Think you guys are overreacting a bit. The offense didn’t light it up in a preseason intra squad scrimmage. Fine. Let’s wait a few games before declaring Jimmy Lake and Co in over their heads.Gladstone said:

Isn't this year average at best?sonics1993 said:
I wouldn’t put it all on the OC hire. He made plenty of other mistakes. If this team doesn’t win this year then expect the 2022 recruiting class to be average at best.Gladstone said:jimmy wanted 4 preseason games just like the nfl

Defense will be great.
Running game will be good.
QB will be hit and miss with a lot of mistakes and a few bright spots, but it’s just a place holder for Sam Huard.
5-2 or 6-1. A good team that finds an inexplicable way to lose a game it shouldn’t.
It’s the script. -
I think the defense should be good but they cannot be expected to carry the team. We lost our best DL by far, we lost our best pass rusher by far, our LBs last year were garbage and so were our safeties. I do expect our CBS to be good but besides that (and perhaps interior DL) there are a ton of question marks on D.

Exactly. We could have the best D in the Pac but that doesn't mean we're holding teams to 6 points. It means we're holding teams to 20 points. An awful offense means we're losing games 20-13DoogWhisperer said:I think the defense should be good but they cannot be expected to carry the team.

The offense could indeed suck this year. But it’s easy to over-interpret these scrimmage results, for at least two reasons.
First, defense always dominate offense in the preseason. That’s just the natural order of things. The only exception I can recall was in 2000, when UW returned a senior QB (Marques, its greatest ever), a dominating OL, an All-American TE, and a stable of RBs. That offense lit up the D in the spring game and throughout fall camp. But there’s been nothing like it in the twenty years since.
Second, Lake has outright admitted he’s playing things very close to the vest this preseason. He doesn’t want Cal to know anything about the scheme, the starting QB, etc. For instance, I suspect all this QB platoon stuff is a smokescreen. Lake knows who his starting QB will be.
Again, the offense could suck. But I’m LIPO-ing.
