There aren't enough good things that can be said about last night. Our team didn't just beat a ranked Pac-10 team, they beat them by three touchdowns. Our offense didn't rely on gimmicks to get past them - our offensive line flat out dominated Cal's defensive line, pushing them around like it was nobody's business. Our defense was good enough to keep the game from turning into a track meet and was near enough to opposing receivers to pick up some interceptions. Best of all, just after halftime, when it looked like we were about to do what we've always done against big time opponents, when the entire crowd knew - just knew - how this game was going to end, Marlon Johnson grabbed an interception and ran it back for a touchdown.
It was glorious.
We like to kick Ault around here, for reasons obvious and numerable. For today, though, I will personally have to give credit where credit is due. Buh's hiring was inspired. Ault's offense is finally getting into gear. Our team has enough talent to face up to a good Pac-10 team and push them around. That not only reflects well on our team but also its coaching staff.
So, for one week, I won't criticize. I won't judge. I won't apologize for anything, but I will have to admit that, if Ault keeps doing what he's doing this year, our team will be just fine.
I just hope he doesn't sleep in against BYU.
