Mario Cristobal says Rueben Bain is back for Cal game

[ScharfCane]

Cal does not have the quality of pass rushers Va Tech has.

They may not be as talented but we can't sleep on their pass rush. They have 14th highest sack % on defense (9.68%) and giving up only 52.38% completion rate (#9 in the country). In other words, they do put lots of pressure on the QB, or at least successful at it.

To be fair they played Payton Thorne, DJU, a crappy FCS team, and a freshman making his first start

TrumpyCane thinks those stats might be a bit skewed

Bain & Baron would be Kermit Jergens gif worthy.

****, move Bain to the inside with any of Barrow/Scott/Horton.

We can’t keep moving DE to DT cause there are no DT. Baron is exhausted and it’s only game 6 coming up

 

[MizCane]

I thought I put mid Oct

So you saying he isn’t playing Saturday?

Brown is not playing that’s who this is about

HIPPA might have something to say about that.

HIPPA is injured.

If somehow we can get almost healthy by Louisville...

We say this weekly and all of a sudden guys from these trash teams become SUPER HEROS for one night against Miami!!! SMH

HIPPA is injured.

Upper extremity, or lower?

Mario: “It’s gonna be fine, just a little dinged up. We’ll hold it out as a precaution.”

So, out for the season and/or career-ending.

It’s probably been mentioned, but if Bain and Baron both actually play this game we may have double digit sacks. Watching Cal games now, they can’t block UC Davis, made me look it up and they’re bottom 4 in the nation in sacks allowed.

Miami’s best defensive player is back.

Mario Cristobal told Joe Rose of WQAM that star DE Rueben Bain is a “go” for this weekend’s game at Cal. Cristobal said Bain looked great in warmups before Friday’s game against Virginia Tech, but that the staff erred on the side of caution. Bain, the reigning ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year, has been out since the first quarter of the opener against Florida.

Cristobal was noncommittal on the return of starting LT Jalen Rivers, saying that he will be a gametime decision. Miami’s bye week is after the Cal game, which may factor into the decision.

The Canes (5-0) will take on Cal (3-1) in Berkeley on Saturday at 10:30 PM EST. ESPN College Gameday will be broadcasting live from campus earlier that day.

DL needs some fresh legs

DL needs some fresh legs

I wonder if Blount will get some snaps on Saturday.

HIPPA might have something to say about that.

People have no idea what HIPAA actually is lol. Hate that it’s in the public lexicon

Statistically, Cal’s D is much better than VT’s…

@JG14 - this is in reference to Defense not Calipari vs Vaughn Telemaque.

 

[Mnhurricane]

No clue on % but by my eyes we have badly struggled in generating pressure with 4. Hopefully Bain comes back with his hair on fire so we don’t vacate half the field blitzing giving them easy throws vs bad corners
