Agree this looks like a very close game. Cal beat $C and UW and held Wazzu to 19. Their defense has a lot of very tough hardnosed guys. And Laird runs like a LB anyway.

Meanwhile KJ’s downfield passing has been unreal.  Here’s hoping we can run just enough to take some heat off KJ.

It sure would be nice if some of our walking wounded were good to go in this one. I love Wedington but the drop off from JJAW to him is noticeable at this point.

I really hope it doesn’t come down to a kick.

I think it could definitely come down to a kick. Actually I'll be a little surprised if it doesn't.
Is Toner definitely out? Anyone know?
Don't tell me now, he's "day to day".

No data. Toner looked fine on the sidelines and was even hopping around a bit. But it would be hard to tell if he had, say, a quad pull.  

I'm a big fan of trying Jake Bailey for FGs. His high school kicking stats were great. If we need a 60-yarder with 3 seconds remaining, I'm hoping he gets a shot at it. We know he has the leg!

Otherwise, I suggest we bring back John Hopkins, dress him as #37 and have him kick it right-footed. Yeah, it might cause NCAA sanctions, but Big Game must be won by all means necessary!

On the bright side, I did notice that Riccitelli straightened out the rest of his PATs after missing again the other night. Prior to that, every kick was either nearly or fully wide-right. He'll probably find his way...
