NWALA Tiger 3,746 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Anyone heard anything about the expected crowd Saturday? How many will their stadium hold, is it sellout? ETC.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoic-one 1,589 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 They play at Cal Memorial Stadium, 63k capacity. That would be a major deal if their starter is out, which I've heard nothing about... Edit: Definitely not sold out yet, you can buy groups of up to 9 tickets together on StubHub. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,209 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 We bought 12 tickets direct from the school website. I heard they average 30k a game. I’ve had this game circled for awhile. I bet it’ll be similar to a Vandy game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanTiger 21,558 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 The guy that started was hurt early. His replacement did quite well though. He was 24 of 34 for 279 yds, 1 TD and 1 INT and spread the ball around well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic_zx 1,070 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Jake Spavital should not be underestimated. Quote 2016 Coached a Cal offense that ranked fourth in the nation in passing offense (358.8), 10th in total offense (513.2) and 22nd in scoring offense (37.1 ppg) among eight top 25 national rankings– Helped Cal establish single-school records for pass completions (383), first downs by penalty (35), fewest fumbles lost (3) and fewest turnovers (15) while equaling a school mark for field goals made (22) - https://calbears.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/jake-spavital/5626 Edited September 6, 2023 by Chaotic_zx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 2,278 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 He left the previous game with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder, but he is a dual-threat runner. That said, his backup played very well last game. Their OL played better than in past years, and they have a decent RB. Their defense looked good. Of course, that was a cupcake game, just as Auburn played a cupcake game. This is not a gimmee. Cal will be ready. Traveling across country, will Auburn? I sure hope so. Auburn's front 7 on defense is going to have to step up much better than they played against UMass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURex 2,278 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) I lived in SF during the great fun 90s and being an academic type, I enjoyed my time in Berkeley. One of the great university towns in the U.S. An amazingly beautiful campus. In sports, they are elite in Director's Cup -- the kind of sports that the SEC schools pay little attention to. But as a sideline sport for us guys, the coeds are beautiful. I mean, yes, beautiful. All of that is non-football. But for Auburn fans traveling to Berkeley, there are some awesome international restaurants (the Ethiopian restaurant is A+) and incredible bookstores (Moe's is one of the very best nationally) in the campus town area. And of course, being in the Bay Area, restaurants featuring great California wines should not be missed. Wish I could afford the trip. WDE!

He got hurt last week and their backup came in and they didn't seem to miss a beat. I think we'll be ok regardless. We are definitely more talented than they are and I think if it's still a close game after 3 quarters, we will start wearing them down because we play so many players along our lines. We didn't show everything in our playbook against UMass. I think Freeze let's Coach Montgomery open it up against Cal. Even if we struggle in the passing game, Cal has no answers for all of our RB's, plus Robby Ashford. That really wears a defense down when you have a long drive down field and then when we get into the redzone, BAM, you get a dose of Robby running over you. Once we get into SEC play, those defenses will adjust to what we do and we'll have to adjust as well. But for the Cal game, I think we will simply run all over them. I only worry about jet lag and a 9:30 pm cst kickoff but Freeze seems to have a good plan for that as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet lag is a real thing and the change in daylight biological times have some effect, but these are 18-23 year old kids. Virtually all of them stay up really late playing video games and/or dicking around on the internet. They really do not have good sleeping habits to begin with. A game that goes until 1:00 am by their body clock is not that big of a deal. Telling a collage age kid they have to stay up late is an easy sell. Now going the other way... lets hope in 2024 we return the favor by having an 11:00am kick off when Cal comes to Auburn. That's , what? , an 9:00am kickoff by their body clock. Their guys will have to get up in the wee hours of the morning (body clock time) to play. Sell that to your collage age son.
