Do you think Solomona Aigamaua will be a good line backer next year? Do you think that if Savai’i Eselu doesn’t do a good job as a TE, would he be a good DE.

Will, Smith missed the first practice because he was late getting back from Hawaii for spring break. With Cal experimenting with the 3-4 right now, there are less opportunities for linemen. Tedford has mentioned using running backs in the slot on certain plays, but not completely moving any of them to wide receiver.
Juice, don’t know much about Demopoulos, but spring certainly will be a time for him to make an impression.
Cali, I think Nate took it hard right after the season, but he seems fine. And he’s looked sharp in practice so far.

What’s going on with Vereen? Will he be able to go anytime during spring ball?

J.O.

Earlier this year it was reported that Longshore was working hard to drop some weight in preparation for this year. Tedford also was quoted that Longshore had taken the season poorly from a mental state and was really trying to dedicate himself to being better prepared physically and mentally.

Is there any word on Nate’s physical and mental state?

Kevin Riley has the spring and summer to prove he is the starting guy. And I think that he’ll earn it. He started last spring as the a third string QB, behind the prize recruit Kyle Reed. He beat Reed head-on and now Reed’s at SJSU.

The fact that Tedford has Longshore taking first reps should be expected. You can’t say that Riley has won those reps yet. Longshore has two years of experience on him. But if this spring/summer goes like it did for Riley last year, he should be starting against Michigan State.

I was at the OSU game and was 10 rows back from the endzone where Riley ended the game by taking a sack. It took a week for me bring myself to watch the taped copy of the game. When I did, I realized how good Riley did. During the game, we were calling for Longshore to come in and didn’t notice that Riley played an amazing game for his 1st start ever in Div-I football.

We were calling for Riley throughout the 2nd half of the season and had to suffer through loss after loss. In the second quarter of the Armed Forces Bowl Game, Riley came in and lifted us to an amazing comeback victory. He has the confidence and the skills to be Tedford’s best quarterback to date, which is saying a lot. I will not renew my season tickets if Longshore is the starter. From a pure morale standpoint, you need Riley in there. From all my observations, he looks like a true leader.

GO BEARS!!!
