I think Pyne finds a way to score 30+, defense holds Cal and we get a win. Praying anyway :laugh:

At least 2 2024 QB’s visiting for the Cal game that tells me staff plans on having carr in 2023
Or they’re hedging their bets by signing 2 QBs in the next cycle b/c they’re tired of being left holding the bag when a QB decommits.

Most of the scribes following ND are picking us to win a close, low scoring game. I don't see it that way. I see two possible outcomes but really can't decides which to expect. If Pyne looks like he did vs Wisconsin we should move the ball well and win handily. If he looks like he did in the spring game and vs Marshall we might not get to 10 points.

Cal's defense is solid and if they don't come out loading the box they are idiots (I do not think they are idiots). So its Okie St all over again, without the defensive collapse. Will Pyne execute? Hell if I know. But get ready for 50 passes, most of them short.

While Pyne looked decent in the Wisconsin game, he also had horrible protection on his blind side. TBF, I think it was when they had Tosh Baker at LT & he was a turnstile in that game. Pyne got smoked from his blind side by the defender before he could get pass off and it resulted in a recovery fumble by the Badgers.

That’s not on Pyne & they’ve since replaced Baker but you’re correct that Cal has a solid D that rarely gives up a lot of points. Gotta protect the kid and give him a chance.

It was Baker. He was bad. Then they went with Alt.

I’m starting to think maybe Marshall is a playoff team like Cincy. Now we run the table. Caveat: I’ve been drinking.

Look guys we are fine. Marshall beat Notre Dame. Notre Dame beat Clemson. Clemson beat Alabama. So therefore Marshall is better than Bama. We just happen to play the two best teams in all of college football to start the season. we should probably be ranked third right now.

They come from Mass to pray at the stadium? Maybe Freeman isn't getting them hyped up enough before the games?

Absolutely a must-win today if this team wants to make a bowl game. I don’t see us beating BYU, USC, Clemson, or UNC.
