How much analysis can you wring out of a few hours of a medium intensity scrimmage? Time to find out!
A spring game is a dangerous thing for a fan. Cal played a 14 possession game with some shortened possessions and no special teams, which is roughly 66% of an actual game. The team was split in half, with units that might be used to playing together separated. Various players were held out, in some cases as a precaution, in other cases perhaps because the player had already proven himself.
This is all a long way of saying that it's a bad idea to make too much of what we saw on Saturday.
