Not in 2013 but in 2014 after Enfield gets his kinda players. Give him a yr. We'll be terrible again this yr.

They've gotten a few transfers and are"in it" for some top 2014 recruits....

In basketball all u need is a handful of guys to make a serious run. USC has a lot going for them.

Don't be so pessimistic. With Kiffin and Enfield you guys are looking at dual championships in 2014.

Classic Tedford.

Oh, wait. Wrong thread.

Lane Kiffin is a joke.  Dude, you aren't that good and your plays aren't that special.

Now come on, mt.  Most teams never see the bubble screen to Lee coming!  Especially when you run it 20 times per game!  Brilliant!

[mtangelsfan]

For the life of me I can't see why Haden is keeping this guy, I really can't.

Bubble screen?

Classic Tedford. Wait a second...

[AngelsLongBall]

Who is this Classic Tedford you speak of so highly?  Perhaps we should seek him out for counsel. 

[RallyMo]

He is the guy who is responsible for what I assume will be a significant upgrade in your DC. I really think that CP will do incredibly well for you guys.

His scheme seems to fit perfect with USC's personnel

The players seem a lot more comfortable so far from practice reports

[nando714]

Scrimmage #1 in the books

 

Kessler 12-16 121 yds 1TD 0 Int

Wittek 13-20 193 yds 2 TD 0 Int (70yd bomb to Agholor against #2 defense fwiw)

Browne 7-11 54yds

 

For those worried mostly about the qb competition. Lamar Dawson/ Scott Starr led team with 7 tackles each.

What happened to all those Bush jerseys all thos punks were wearing a few years ago?

You're going to have to step up your game.

[nando714]

Lee injured in practice today.

He's at practice tonight

No sling, idk if he's practicing yet

Adoree Jackson is also at sc tonight

[nando714]

TE Junior Pomee will not return to the program after his legal issues and charges being dropped.

[RallyMo]

Classic Tedford.

Oh, wait. Wrong thread.

 

Just kidding. Not wrong thread...

Kiffin worked and i think played under tedford at fresno st.

Tedford like Sosh wore out his welcome over time. He did some great things with cal like making them relevant again but sometimes you get tired of the repetitiveness

[RallyMo]

Oh, I know. JT is pretty much Kiffin's mentor. They're very close.

 

JT didn't "wear out his welcome." He ran himself into the ground. The program went down with him. He did wonderful things for Cal and got the program incredibly close to achieving some sort of relative greatness.

 

There are A LOT of what if's for Tedford. The 2004 team should have gone to the Rose Bowl. The 2006 team would have gone to the Rose Bowl if Desean Jackson's toe had stayed in bounds on a play that seemingly went for a TD against Arizona. The moment Kevin Riley ran against Oregon State instead of throwing it away when Cal was poised to be ranked #1, JT snapped. Riley NEVER recovered. Cal never fully recovered.

 

 

Something changed the moment he slammed that clipboard down. Nothing he did from that point on really worked.

 

He left Cal with a rather talented team. It will be interesting to see if Dykes can do something with it.

[nando714]

A player i coached in is at Cal now. Joel Willis

And one of my teammates is a Cal alum. Mike Tepper

Ive always liked there program

[nando714]

USC held 23 guys out of practice today

[RallyMo]

Cal cancelled practice today. Beat that.

 

By the way, Tepper was one of my favorites.

Edit- 23 guys includes guys who are "non contact" but can do certain drills

Also Chad Wheeler has all but won the LT position battle. A guy who came in around 225-245 worked his tail off to get to 295 beat out Aundrey Walker. Walker now battling John Martinez for RG. Guard is Walker's natural position.

Why they cancel?

[Tank]

USC Parole agents held 23 guys out of practice today.

 

fixed.
