Rested or Rusty
Haven't played a game this year. Will be at least another week before we do.
Will we be rested when SMU gets here or will we be rusty?
If we play anything like we have the last three games it will not be close.
With us on the short end.

Penny said on his media day that they have been working on offense and the time gives them the opportunity to improve.

RE: Rested or Rusty
Just a theory (hope?), but I think we will look the best we've looked all year. Penny started installing the new offense ~ Dec 28. We saw glimmers last game, but then they fell back into old habits. Now, they will have 2 full weeks of practice with focus on O. Not even classes to worry about. Similar to the old Cal bootcamps, after which we usually saw step-change improvement. Plus, they will be ready to go against someone other than themselves. And there won't be a lot of real game footage for SMU to scout against the new O.
We should be rested and hopefully Damion, Malcolm, Landers (am I missing anyone?) get healthy. Just avoid the Covid!

I agree...I think this helps them.
I just hope they find decent places to replace these games so the guys are playing 3 games in 5 days (twice).

RE: Rested or Rusty
Well since our first game of the year was our best by far let's hope we play more like that than the groove we were getting in the last few games

We haven't played this year.
Last game we did play we got by with a 1 point win against a team whom we were a 9 point favorite BEFORE they lost their best player before the game started.

You are churning out the genius posts like they're going out of style.

This. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Hopefully Lucy doesn't pull the ball away again.

RE: Rested or Rusty
Haven't played in three weeks and on top of that going into the game knowing what happened the last time we played at Tulsa. After losing to them once already the mental part of the game is going to be interesting.
