Re: Webb. We are incredibly fortunate that he chose to come to Cal. He's pretty stinking good.
Also, I know that people thought very highly of our receivers before, but this new group is probably better. They're fast and BIG. Also, the O line play is much improved since we abandoned the two point stance towards the end of last year. Hansen is bananas good, and the dude is a walk on transfer that NOBODY else even gave the time of day to.
From a scheme standpoint, it doesn't seem that we're missing Tony Franklin. Spavital is doing a pretty good job so far. Lots of screens and that might be a problem if teams pick up on them later, but Webb is able to sell fakes really well and seems to be adept at keeping defenses somewhat confused.
That defense, though. We'll see how they do. They performed well in the second half (only gave up 10 points), but I think part of that is on the Texas coaching staff. They went away from what was working. Dummies.
I'd really like to have do over for the SD State game, just like I'm sure the Longhorns would like a do over for Saturday (and last year).
