I would remind you, then, of the Colorado game in 2012. While most folks were screaming for Nottingham, Shaw brought in Hogan and turned around that game (Stanford did not score an offensive TD until Hogan came into the game) and the season.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
