Cal #12 in preseason Coaches Poll
Posted by Eric | August 3, 2007 at 7:16 am | In Ranks/Predictions | 2 CommentsCal has been voted #12 in the 2007 preseason USA Today’s Coaches Poll, which was released this morning:
Note that USC is at #1, Tennessee is at #15, and UCLA is at #17. Here’s the “breakdown” blurb on Cal:
12. California (10-3)
Points: 763. Previous ranking: 14. Outlook: With QB Nate Longshore throwing to standout WR DeSean Jackson, and LB Zack Follett patrolling defense, the Bears could be primed for a BCS breakthrough. A reworked defensive front could be key. Cal gets Tennessee and Southern California at home and travels to UCLA. Opens: Sept. 1 vs. No. 15 Tennessee (ABC, 8 ET).

I have heard that Tennessee is scared to come west to play Cal. It seems as though they just do not feel they have the depth to keep up with a more experienced and more physical Golden Bear squad. Their team speed is more questionable than last year, which could give Cal a great advantage.
Offensively, Tennessee is sluggish, and may be hard pressed to even make substantial first downs.
Defensively, the U.T. linebacker corps are weak, and could be exploited earlly in the game.
There are some reports circulating around east Tennessee, that many Volunteer players have asked coaches to just forfeit, stay home, and focus on their home opener against against Southern Mississippi.
The Bears will blow the Vols out of the stadium.
