Hi berk good stuff as usual no matter how depressing the content. I didn’t see this on CBG so am asking here. On the last play when the CB has the flat and the S has the TE why doesn’t the CB go to the flat with the wr? If he had gotten the ball I think it would have been a challenging tackle. Thanks
Thanks! This will be on CGB at 3pm. When the CB doesn't lock up on that, it's usually because he's zoning off, and so is potentially responsible for something like a Corner route to the back corner of the EZ. Typical procedure is to drop to take that away, and then to rally to the underneath throw. Guys do this with varying degrees of success, but it's not out of the question for someone in that position to rally while the ball's in the air; there's a lot of east/west flight time for a throw like that, and a good CB can get there surprisingly quickly. There are also lots of guys who will play that really badly and give up the TD, hah, but we don't usually get burned by that.
DC (College) here; because Cal was in Blue Goalline, The CB and S will check to stop nows, pic routes and rub plays, that is first assignment, then the CB is aligned with outside flat will alert to any threats for picks. Because of split rules and OC put WRs close together. and the CB will have zone-on-demand just in case if it was a pick, unless the routes is 5 yards and under, then it will be man like it was during the play Utah ran. S had TE and CB had H back. Even before the game, Cal defense coaches, had film of all the goal-lines plays and the bunch plays too. They knew Utah offense sets and try to expect what is coming for goal-lines plays to defend.
Great stuff man! Keep em coming.
Great breakdown!

@@coachanderson2704 Good stuff coach, thanks for the insight!
Coach Anderson thanks for the details. Challenging to defend around pick (i mean rub...) plays the offense uses to free up routes!
Ok first of all cals defense has not ever been good compared to Utah just saying
