When he fills in his frame and gets more games under his belt, Drew Cofield is going to be a Teddye/Rex caliber defender. The impact he's making as a freshman is impressive.
I'm also really looking forward to seeing what Totten and Cravin get up to. Bright future for Davis on defense. Coombs is doing a great job.
that money at Cal probably goes farther than higher amounts elsewhere. Bus trip and connections with Bay and UC employees are worth so much but cost little.
I agree that I prefer MW games since there is a chance you could win or keep it close, though in-state games against old Pac 12 teams is okay with me for recruiting and off field reasons.
As a fan of both Cal and UCD, I personally hate when they play each other due to my shared fandom but I like that the money stays in system and keeps travel costs low.
I'm really excited for the game at Wazzu. I'm 1 hr and 15 mins away and we try to go to either 1 UI or Wazzu game a year depending on opponent or game time. Would like to also see Wazzu this year but the schedule doesn't work for me with the first two games at night, then sold out Apple Cup, and then no home game until the end of Oct when it starts getting cold.
Thanks for the correction. Sometimes I get too excited about my "discoveries" and don't look them over carefully. I did find a football site that had the Aggies winning 30-13, but dismissed it as just incredible. The more credible sites had no data yet. Live and learn.
Most programs Davis included call the edge a LB but functionally this is a pass rushing DE that usually lines up on the ball. Last year they played base with two LBs, Meyer and Connors. This year sub out Meyer for Rutchena. The game is situational so you match groupings based on the personnel on offense but you usually need 5 dbs on the field and a lot of the mix/match depends on whether your better player/matchup is an athletic third backer or a safety that can play up in the box.
from what Plough was saying, Pinnack’s numbers in camp made it the obvious (but still tough) choice. Especially the percentage of explosives plays. They track and analyze every competitive scrimmage play.
My wife and I will be going to the game (we’re in the Raleigh area), and will fly to Atlanta). PM me if you’d like and maybe we can meet up at the game.
if heard correct, they lost 9 starters from their top-rated defense through graduation or transfer. Sounds like a very aggressive defense that we might be able to exploit with the long ball. Agree with you that our defense will be the key - sounds like they tend to be conservative and wear you down. Need a couple early big plays to throw them out of their comfort zone.
35 yards and 1 TD on 7 carries...longest for 16
2 receptions on 2 targets for 9 yards...longest for 9
1 KO return for 25 yards
- he was also playing on the KO team
I guess corner is where he played at JC.
But 16 tackles. 12 solo and 3 pass breakups is significant playing for a sophomore transfer, and the pass breakups indicate he played pretty significantly on defense or had a hell of a few plays.
