Feel bad for this kid, but if any of you watched the Washington/Utah game, this is very big for Cal. Their back-up looked very [INSERT NAME OF YOUR LEAST FAVORITE CAL BACK-UP QUARTERBACK HERE]-esque. First pass was a pick, second pass missed so badly you couldn't see who he was throwing to, tried to "throw" the ball while being tackled which was ruled a fumble, etc. If Wynn is out and we don't win this game we deserve to be roundly abused by the press and everyone else.

Since it's his non-throwing shoulder I'd think they'll try to play him once he's 50%, especially if their backup is lousy. I'd say 80% chance he plays in SF.

Seeing as this is the second shoulder injury he has suffered and people thought he looked gun shy at times coming back this year, I doubt he gets rushed back to the field, even if they go winless without him.


I would tend to agree. It's not like they will be gunning for the National Championship here - hard to imagine they rush him back. Wouldn't shock me if he was gone for more than 3 weeks.

He seems to me to be one of those guys who shouldn't be very successful but he somehow finds ways to win, maybe the most underrated QB in the league. I like our chances a lot better if he's out.

on XM radio. The feed was the Utah broadcast. They just about threw themselves out of the press box when they learned Wynn would not return to the game. They described the back up as a lightly recruited guy from a JC program that emphasizes the run. The guy had really modest JC stats. The Utah O went nowhere fast with Wynn out. When the Utes moved the ball on their last drive of the game, the broadcast team was quick to point out the only reason that was happening was due to the Huskies prevent defense. The broadcasters were speculating (hoping) Wynn could be back soon since the injury was to his non-throwing shoulder. Doesn't look that way.

Best moment of the broadcast was when one of the Huskies knocked the crap out of one of the Utah players. Just before the play, they ran a commercial for a personal injury law firm that one of the color commentators works for. As the Utah player lay on the turf in pain, without missing a beat one of the broadcasters said to the color-commentator/attorney, "hey Rahim, we might have a new client for you."

BTW, Utah gave this game away before Wynn went out with two first half TO's deep in Husky territory. It was a little funny listening to the Utah broadcasters go on-and-on about how there is no margin for error in the Pac-12. They called Polk possibly the best back in the league and kept talking about how UW's Dline is considered below average yet they looked so good against the Utes. Reality strikes! Boise would be less the darling if they had to play a Pac-12 schedule, too. The big fish from the small ponds think they deserve a BCS bowl because they upset one good every year. But, having to face big time competition [U]every[/U] week is something totally different.

At the beginning of the year many chalked this game up as a loss. I will be very disappointed if it turns out that way!

Of course, Jordan Wynn's backup will come out of nowhere and have a monster game against us, and this game will be mentioned as the launching point for his Heisman campaign.

Wynn is lucky Zack Follett has long graduated. Just ask Eric Ainge.

Jon Hays, the backup QB is from the same JC as Aaron Rodgers - Butte College.
