Miami opens 11.5 point favorite at Cal

I think we’ll be fine. Time zone difference and late start time will have an impact but probably not by much on a bunch of 18-25 year olds with just the 33 year old outlier (cam). BUT it’s also easy to mitigate even that if the coaching staff insists on shifting everyone to west coast time sleeping patterns starting now so they’re completely adjusted for the game.

Replace the Gatorade with Red Bull and/or 4Loko and we will be fine.

Cam will get his yards. Last year, he threw for 350 and 3 TDs against Cal. The only reason WSU lost was because of self-inflicted mistakes..2 fumble returns for TDs, missed FGs. Cam was sacked 6 times behind a vastly inferior line. The chances of Cam having consecutive multiple TOs in a game and our D missing 21 tackles again is exceedingly low. Guidry is going to be hot this week. Also, this whole “ traveling across the country” disadvantage is being grossly overplayed. This team will rise to the occasion like they did against UF given its high profile gameday status. We win 42-23!
 
This game will be a great test for us. Mendoza is an efficient QB, and gotta figure Ott will be as healthy as he's been off the bye week. Javion Thomas another good running back they have. Their defense has been good too. Expect them to lean on the run and force us to tackle in space off short throws. I think we win but I don't like taking us giving all those points.
 
Cal isnt enough of a threat even with this being their superbowl...
We should see younger guys getting lots of PT this game.
Blowout

I don’t believe Rivers or Bain will be back until after the bye week, playing at Louisville. I get the sense. I think the staff is being conservative with both and believe their backups are sufficient until both are 100% healthy. If they don’t play at Louisville they must be seriously injured and team not releasing detail information. Maybe they’re legally not allowed to.
 
Feeling like we look at this past week as a scare and the boys come out firing off like they've been doing before VTech. Cal finna get it. Spread and points.

Bain came out and tested himself before VT. Think he's close, but you could be right. With how banged up/knicked we got vs. VT, would love to have him.

Many said last week rivers would return.

Hope you're wrong, but who knows
 
This is a bull **** game and start time. All designed to take down the canes. Game day hype and traveling cross country along with all the bs how we were lucky against va tech I hope the canes go ala thrill hill style to a win.

I hope I’m wrong too. We’ll need to see who on the DL recovers from the VT game in preparation for Cal.

Maybe both get limited reps against Cal and then have a bye a week to get ready for Louisville.
 
traveling east is a lot harder than traveling west

not downplaying the fact that it's a road game but the time difference won't matter

canes by a lot
 
I'm concerned about Cal. Hope our players are taking it seriously. Every time over the last 20 years our players start talking about "we don't look at their record" or "look down on them" or "their ranking" as a way to show they're taking it seriously, it's obvious they are not and it shows in the field.

I don't want to hear any leadership scripts about that from any of the players this week in any interview. Just handle business.

Long trip west, 1030 start time, first time leaving the state, our defense isn’t very good. Could be a high scoring game. Probably another week where Bain and Rivers won’t play although Mario says they will. Baron, Barrow, and Alston are banged up. Imagine if none of them play. Yikes. Cam and the offense need to not turn the ball over.
