Cal 73, Grambling State 14: Defense a big positive, offensive line a potential concern

LeonPowe: Most importantly an easy win with no injuries. We've seen (especially today) that FCS teams can give FBS teams fits or even L's so getting out of Memorial with a W and no injuries is huge. Also got some wins for the defense - defensive touchdowns, a pass rush - I'm not going to discount the effects of confidence and the momentum of good plays. Lastly - lots of playing time for back ups. Good to get game experience for guys like Forrest, Enwere, all the freshmen who got in.

Trace Travers: This game gave a preview of how our offense can move when running on full bore.
