I got another "moral victory" for everybody: Cal beat Fresno by 8 points at home, and nubs beat Fresno by 6 points at home. If we took Cal to OT, that means we would have beaten nubs at home last week!

Like your new avatar much better than the last one. Did you loose a bet with some HI friends on that or something?

Still too early to tell about this staff. The offensive improvements were great to see, however key penalties and defensive lapses cost the Buffs a win. This team cannot afford to lose the winnable like Cal at home, unless our coaches believe they can recruit a top 6 PAC12 class with just 2 or 3 wins this season. Recruiting under these conditions will probably tell more about how this staff does in the future than the actual results on the field. Yet another coaching staff is facing a major rebuilding project, and expecting a lot of wins in these first few years doesn't look realistic.
Plenty of good things to take the first two games - kicking and punting look to vastly improved, although the return game needs a lot of work. The offense improved significantly from game one to two, and if they can overcome the slow starts they could keep the buffs in many games this year.
The only real troubling part of what we've seen so far in two games is the running game - it simply doesn't exist. There is no forcing their will on anybody, and whether that's coaching or talent, it has to change. This is supposed to be a power running team, and unless it improves we're going to see defenses key on the passing and have Hansen running for his life, like CU QBs have done for the last several years.
