They cut loose a $4M linebacker who I guess they signed as a free agent.

The Bears wear blue tomorrow. Will we wear our slick all whites w/ the CA logo??!!

Keys for the game?

Can we establish the run; and keep our D fresh?
Can we rattle their QB?
Will our new and young linebackers step up?
Keep TOs low?

I guess the Lord blessed us w O and D line depth, weapons on O, and an experienced QB. DBs deep and young, too.

I hope they acknowledge Will Lotter!

I believe Hawkins may not care if the roster ain't 100% accurate. I believe one DL is listed at 285#, but in an interview his weight was 295#s.

River - don't forget we brought in 4 JC LBs.

Chris Venable (6'2"), Facey, Eaton, Suani (330#s) itching for PT.

Will true Freshmen Chaz Davis (6'3" WR), Sequoia Magdalena (6'3" DB), Sean Harlston (6'3" DB) or Blake Thorpe (TE/WR) see PT? We do have some 3-star recruits!

Imagine how excited they must be!

Of coarse Bear fans focus on Harrell, it will be interesting to see our WR depth. We may have some speedsters on board, and some gems Watching a Bear analysis, saw that Babb over shoulder TD grab. Doss took a ton of attention.

Lots of new WRs and RFreshmen we haven't seen.

Pac-12 Preview - great to see the CA highlighted.

I believe Bob Dunning got to a core issue today - can we establish the run? We only had 50 yards rushing versus Stanford.

The analysis above claimed Maier usually focuses on one hot receiver, doesn't look to option 2, 3, 4. Not sure completely valid, and Doss may have impacted that perception.

SJ State up on No Colorado 28-18, good to see them on top... but struggling with a 2-win team?

4 catches (#2 on the team), 2 bad throws?

OUTSTANDING UC DAVIS Offense preview

Great review, clips (examples), and a few highly knowledgable commentors. SGBear - response in gold below the article - sounds like a former coach or QB.

SGBear notes how Maier doesn't react well to pressure, and is anticipating the Bears using a lot of disguised blitzes. How we use the jet (fly) sweep, etc.

Maybe the Bear fans hit the Joe Kapp tequila bottle a little early?

They seem rather thin skinned if they can post goofy Farmer pictures (threads), a Look Alike thread, and one reference to Kal sends them over the edge.

The Joe Starky interview w / Scott Marsh was interesting in that the only Aggie he referenced was the Maier of Davis. Doesn't sound like he's very worried either.

I predict Maier will pass for over 3500 yards, we'll have 2 running backs each over 1,000 yards rushing, and we'll have at least 2 new wide receivers shine.

Records are a dicey thing. We can't live off last year. We have a lot of talent, but we lost some key veterans, esp on defense. Hoping for the best.

Don't name names, don't even name positions ... but any true frosh or redshirt frosh studding out?

Cause we got a bunch.

OK, where was East Hall located? Did you like it?

I prefer the oldercwood-shingled, CA inspired architecture. Cement buildings - blah!

They also play Ole Miss.

Gabe Manzanares.

Will we wear our slick whites? The Bears will dress in blue.

A much tougher game than San Jose, but not quite as tough as Stanford, though I almost felt they were holding back out of respect for Gould, etc. If I recall, their QB was misfiring, and Love held out. Only 50 Aggie rushing yds.

Will the next Mason Moe / Ryan Parenteau emerge? How much was it Moe, and how much the system / preparation / execution? Our Sack game was legit last year.

FYI, in one breath HC Wilcox says he diesn't want to reveal who his backup QB is; in another, he us raving about frosh Spencer Bausch. Can wing it, but sounds like he can also be rattled.

We had a couple of opportunities. Didn't we throw a pick and miss a FG?

They seem strong at LB and DB. Wait until all those senior DBs graduate next year.

Do teams typically sub a lot on the lines? We seem deep right now, whereas the Bears look young.

Their DC yesterday compared their offense to ours. (4,000 yds passing to 2,000?)
