Why should this game not be close? I don't get that.
First, UW has a terrible defense. I thought so after watching them against Nebraska and after Cal's first series I could see that UW has a slow D-line and only 1 decent DB. Cal needs to throw the ball more. The running plays after 1 and 10 at the 11 were horrible coaching.
Second, I'm seeing the 2-4-5 line up used far too often. That defense is cute and might work on 2nd and 22, but Cal is using it on any 3rd and more than 5 and Price is eating it up. Its a stupid defense that has allowed Price to fail only 1 time on 3rd down agianst the Cal defense. If Cal wasn't being so bloody passive on D, we probably get at least one more stop if not 2, but that wuold require a coach willing to be aggresive and we know Tedford doesn't do that.
