For all intents and purposes, the seasons start Saturday. UC Davis doesn’t count. All those stats should be thrown out of the book. Who cares? It’s time to buckle your chinstrap and start the “real” season. Colorado might not be a great team, but they can beat us.
Let’s be clear; if Cal brings a solid game to Memorial on Saturday, we should beat these guys. Colorado is a fringe bowl team at this point, but they are eminently beatable. Their QB situation is unsteady, and their running game is still in the okay range. If our defense plays well, we’ll stop them. Our offensive line will show what they’re made of; Colorado’s rush defense is below average, so Vereen should be able to get plenty of yards. If he doesn’t, well we’re in trouble this season. Their pass defense is pretty alright, probably above average; Riley and Allen will have a chance to show what they’re going to be like for the rest of this season. But the run game needs to show what it’s made of today. Cal’s football season, the real one, starts now.
