Cal’s offense is decimated by injury and our defense is playing better than ever. I have a hard time believing Cal will score more than ten points and a shutout is possible. Cal’s defense is very good, especially their pass defense. If Huntley can’t go, we will run, run and run again. But, we need to pass some or they will load the box. I hope Huntley can go. We should win this Saturday, but you cannot take anything for granted when you are playing a good defense.
Our offense needs to be at it’s best to beat UW. Huntley needs to be back at full strength. However, this is not the same UW defense we played last season. They lost ten starters. They are good, but certainly not great. The UW offense will be a real test for our defense. Their offense looked very good against a very good Oregon defense. They are balanced and have a lot of weapons. Eason is an excellent QB IMO and Nacua is starting to get some significant action.
As far as Lisk and Shelley goes – If the coaching staff thinks that Lisk is doing better in practice, I have to go with what they see and know. I am like many of you in that we have seen Shelley start 5 games and we know what he can do, so there is some level of comfort. I suspect if Huntley cannot go this Saturday, you may see Shelley because he is the better dual-threat and that is what we need this week. I trust that Ludwig and Whitt will make the right decision.
