We had a recruit who threw few picks at CCSF.

The color guy didn't like Hastings poor decision to not take a shot down the field on the free play (penalty).

Good drive, Rex Connors massive game w 2 picks and 14 tackles, 8 solo.

Redshirt Freshman Rex Connors (DB) #4 with a monster first half - 12 tackles.

Commits - summary:

Infield

Matteo Blandino - 6'2", 210 - C/1B/3B - Archbishop Mitty HS

Ty Deperno - 6'0", 185 - C/RHP/MIF - West Ranch HS

Pitching

Grayson Bonanno - 6'3", 195 - RHP/1B/3B - Torrey Pines High School

Sam Papp, RHP, from Palo Alto. Palo Alto appears to be a top NorCal program.

Outfield

Tyler Howard - 5'9", 185, R/R - OF / CF - Cardiff by the Sea / San Dieguito Academy.

That they can handle class work and playing is amazing. Basketball probably tougher - covers 2 quarters.

Ags ink fifth player:

Tyler Howard - 5'9", 185, R/R - OF / CF - Cardiff by the Sea / San Dieguito Academy.

2022 MVP
First Team All League

Cotton is 6'3" and ran track in high school.

There has to be a way to telegraph it less, a slight look off. Something.

We came close w EWU in the playoffs, on the road, in tough conditions. We need to make the next step. Maybe we're now seeing the impact of that class that sat.

Did the Band-a make road games like SDSU?

Repetitions help. He threw a few away early.

QB is key - how would this team fare with Ken O'Brien or Chris Peterson behind center?

Game one gave me hope that our lines have depth.

New Hawkins postgame interview, short. He says we have 4 D lineman in the rotation that didn't play.

Maybe we bring in our stout NGs? Great to see the DL depth.

I'd hope we'd bring in Lance Babbs earlier, a pass in the flats or a dump off. Get him a few touches for rhythm and confidence.

Highlights of the SDSU vs Iowa game. Brutal.

Get LL and Babbs more touches!

Suggestion on new Wildcat QB - Gunnor Faulk. (TT surprise element long gone.)

Condensed highlights - 22 minutes.

The gadget plays were excellent. Babbs had an attempt late in the 4th quarter.

Correction: we played 34 subs + 22 starters = 56.

Edited.

Maae and Toki should be fresh.

Game review from Cal side.

https://writeforcalifornia.com/p/post-game-thoughts-uc-davis

I believe Hawk is high on 6'2", 203# freshman transfer Logan Kraut from Arizona ( Santa Rosa).

I thought for sure one of the new WRs Hawk was high on would play.

Overall, lots of positives:
- line play on both sides
- defensive scheme caught Cal off guard? (They'll argue pulling 2 players corrected things.)
- better play calling on offense
- Chaz Davis emerges

Hasn't the extra Covid year affected that?

If it's neck and neck, I can't see QB#2 leaving, so it's puzzling.

From the Bear forum: "From what I can glean, an hour-long version of the Davis Game will be televised on the PAC-12 Network tomorrow (Monday) at 5pm. I think this is the "main" PAC-12 channel, and not PAC-12 Bay Area. If someone can confirm or suggest otherwise, please reply."

Wasn't there a big interception where we didn't get a call? The two sacks were great (blitzes?), but it looks like we let some 2nd half sacks slip away.

It looked to me like Jack Newmann was going to be our starting QB. Mobile, experienced, and threw few picks at CCSF on the way to 14-0. He led the most series in the Blue Gold game.

Hoping for the best. TT no longer a surprise, but Faulk appears very nimble. Should we give him some shots? We saw Hunter Rodriguez and thanked him for a great year.
