Cal could definitely embarass the yewts on saturday. I'm really hoping for it.

I don't see it. I think Cal is over-rated.

Care to expound on exactly what is over rated about cal?

Cougarrrs

10/5/15 11:11pm

Goff is good. But I also think he hasn't faced a D like Utah's D.

Smack

10/5/15 11:20pm

Utah's D ranks 85th in pass yards allowed

Cougarrrs

10/5/15 11:24pm

Interesting stats. But early-season stats are a bit suspect in my opinion.

Smack

I can whole heartedly agree with this sentiment.

Utah has played USU, Fresno, and Michigan. Not exactly three passing powerhouses

I don't buy the "run defense makes our pass defense look bad" argument. BYU fans

shakinbaker

Yeah, the pass D looked a little shaky in the first two games

Unfortunately it doesn't matter how good your receivers are if your QB can't

Cal and Utah both

The last time cal was 5-0 they were ranked #3. it was 2007.

Go Cal, yewtz probably aren't as good as they seem right now. They'll stumble.

lightmann

I think they'll lose a few pac games, I doubt it'll be Cal though. I'm sure most

RES is a tough place to play, and I don't think that Cal is that great.

They were also up on texas by 21 before they quit playing in the 4th.

Cougarrrs

Scored 31 straight points lead by 3 TDs in the 4th

Go Bears .....

Brace yourself for another 2008... and get pleasantly surprised if they lose

They've gotten by on smoke and mirrors so far. It'll come to an end.

Yet that washington state team has a pass defense has allowed fewer yards than

lol. That's a fishy stat. Wazzu played Portland St, Wyoming and Rutgers b4 Cal

And yet they have the pass heavy cal team pushing their stats higher than

Utah by 2 TDs

10/5/15 11:51pm

Fair enough, but what makes you think utah can stop cal from passing the ball?

Cougarrrs

10/6/15 12:02am

If anything can stop Goff it will be our D-line blowing up their O-line

Utesplease

According to pro football focus, goff plays better under pressure

Josef K

10/6/15 12:59am

Getting NEAR him obviously isnt enough

Utesplease

10/6/15 3:57pm

those are crazy stats and should pose fits for opposing teams

I'm just glad it isn't us that's playing them.

You have a very narrow definition of what a good pass defense is.

afro

10/6/15 9:13am

So you're saying that cals pass defense is better than utah?

Cougarrrs

10/6/15 2:14pm

You seem to be putting words in my mouth.

afro

10/6/15 2:36pm

give me a break. Utah has not played anyone with a decent passing attack.

Josef K

Cal's pass efficiency defense is much better than utah's

ManicBlue

fwiw ... Washington is rated higher than Oregon, USU, and Fresno St just saying

ManicBlue

10/6/15 3:26pm

What makes you think Washington is not a good team? Their only other loss was to

Josef K

10/6/15 3:26pm

Utah has still never beaten Washington.

Cougarrrs

10/6/15 3:39pm

That's true, but also completely irrelevant for this year.

afro

10/6/15 4:21pm

They're decent, but definitely in the bottom half of the conference this year.

afro

10/6/15 4:20pm

USU put up 267 yards passing on Utah.

Josef K

10/6/15 4:33pm

Yes they did, and 90 yards of those came on two miracle sideline catches

afro

10/6/15 5:36pm

Oregon threw for more yards against the yewts than they did against colorado.

Cougarrrs

10/6/15 6:39pm

Sorry, but if you're going to try to continue to argue this over 2 measly yards

afro

10/6/15 7:24pm

Inability to defend the run? They're one spot behind utah in run yards allowed

Cougarrrs

10/6/15 7:37pm

c'mon fro, admit to your uf.n buddies you were on CB.... lying ute fans...

Cougarrrs

10/6/15 10:33pm

Utah's secondary can't defend perfect ball placement.

Josef K

10/7/15 2:56pm

I don't think cal will slaughter utah, I just think it's a bad match up for utah

Cougarrrs

10/6/15 12:04am

Cal will get some points but no way Utah blows this one

mindzeYe

10/6/15 12:14am

Goff is the real deal. Its a perfect matchup for them really....

Utesplease

10/6/15 12:44am

At home? Wishful thinking. The Ute D is a difference maker

Celeritas

10/6/15 7:38am

What makes you think the Ute D is any good?

Cougarrrs

10/6/15 2:16pm

I dunno, how about...Scoring? 2015: 18.75 ppg 2014: 20.3 ppg

Celeritas

10/6/15 7:15pm

If PPG is the standard washington is a much better defense than utah.
