Marcus Hightower is listed twice on my gamesheet. Unfortunately, Josh Allman exposed my secondary tonight. On a positive note at least my defense hasn't given up over 100 yards rushing in a game yet. GG! @bingo415

Also, Rank Maryland you cowards

I can live with Ellison's performance, no turnovers, and only 2 incompletions. Naiquon Barner got his first carries today! He's going to complement McFadden well this year.

Colorado almost got it done! Also I don't ever want to schedule Rice.

K State and Texas Tech was a good game, the wildcats are definitely not a team to sleep on

Golden Nation: 2023 Week 3 Preview Week 2 Recap: California: 30 - Kansas State: 27 After a 30-27 double overtime victory in Manhattan, Kansas last week the Golden Bears saw success and some things they should be concerned about. To start with the positives, redshirt senior Zachary McFadden had an excellent performance: (20 carries 125 yards 2 TDs, 2 catches, 29 yards). California's coaching staff took advantage of McFadden's speed working him on the outside. The offensive line which was a question mark going into this season held up well only allowing 1 sack, and allowing McFadden and Ellison to be productive in the run game. A major question mark going into the spring game for this Cal offense was the quarterback position. Nick Ellison (21/31, 188 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 8 carries, 53 yards) was named the starting signal caller and did what he needed to do. He managed to move the ball through the air well enough to keep the play call selection balanced and also opened up a huge 40 yard carry for himself. Not to take away from redshirt freshman Zachary Riggin's pick-6, but this defense's secondary needs to take this week to make some major adjustments if Cal plans on being competitive in Pac-12 play. Week 3 Preview: Houston at California This is going to be an exciting match up for Cal's head coach who gets the chance to face off against his old program. Entering his first full season as the Golden Bears head coach, noodlz2 aims to make a bowl game which he hasn't done since he was at Houston during the 2021 season. Both teams started their seasons off against Big XII teams. Omar Workman and the Cougars had a bye week following their game against Baylor week 0. Houston does have a quarterback and receivers capable of taking advantage of California's secondary. However, Baylor had forced them to play very one-dimensional shutting down their run game and capitalizing on turnovers. With true freshman Jamie King suffering from mild hamstring tendinitis this week, this Golden Bears defense is missing their starting nickelback. Redshirt junior Nicholas Ragland is going to have to step up and fill the role. It'll be interesting to see how Cal's secondary matches up against Houston's sophomore receiver duo Mohamed Barrett and Benjamin Hampton who were originally recruited to Houston by noodlz2. Both receivers are going to force the experienced leader Shaq Kimbrough to work on the outside and should be a good matchup to keep an eye on. Golden Bears inside linebacker De'Andre Phillips (Jr) 6'4 252 pounds facing off against Cooper Christianson (Jr) 6'0 202 pounds between the tackles will be an important match up in the run game for both sides. Statistical Breakdown Houston - California Points For: 20 - 30 Points Allowed: 41 - 27 Passing YPG: 207 - 188 Rushing YPG: 51 - 178 Passing Yards Allowed: 241 - 306 Rushing Yards Allowed: 155 - 57 Turnover Margin: -2 - 0

Woah Beavers!!

@Swipet exciting game to start the season! Zachary McFadden had a night. Zachary Riggins with a huge pick 6 in his first career start. Time to tune things up for Houston next week..

Colorado State seemed to play more disciplined than Stanford and it paid off for them. Nothing surprising from the UCLA game, the Bruins had a field day through the air though.

The dark horse riding into Pac-12 after dark

We'll see who runs the Bay Week 16

Well if you'd look at that, now all we need solid QB play and our defense to keep us in games.

Instead of posting I'm just going to add on to this since it's probably the closest to what I agree with. I don't see USC making the CCG game this year though.

This is an awesome media piece, I also need to figure out my running back situation fast because that isn't going to cut it..

Seeing Delaware play Rhode Island makes me miss playing for them
