Thibodeaux is back for Oregon.
Not sure about that. We lost Bragg and Miezan and pick up Yurosek, Williams and possibly two running backs. If we do get Jones and Filkins back, that is probably a stronger lineup than last week, but losing Bragg is a big loss.
I was looking exclusively at these week's depth chart. As everyone knows, last week Jones, Filkins and Williams were nowhere to be found on the depth chart. Bragg's absence is notable, but Hornibrook has experience and the systemic issues with the offensive line are a much bigger problem than trading Hornibrook for Bragg, IMO.
Miezan is listed on this week's depth chart, so I don't think it's 100% certain that he won't be able to play. At least not as of Tuesday morning.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
