As you mentioned, in college there really isn't such a thing as an audible, just option plays (although I've heard that a number of teams have option plays with 3 or 4 total options and I had assumed Cal had that many). There were clearly moments where it was so loud in that game that even the linemen couldn't hear the option calls and either the RB's didn't see the visual signals or Longshore didn't display them right because they did an audible (as in from one's mouth/not visible, instead of audible vs. option) communication as well. Definitely being that loud is a goal us Cal fans need to have for this year's game in Berkeley. Thanks again for the good analysis. You've inspired me to dig out my old notes/drafts of the review articles that never got published and convert them into a blog-friendly format to post over the next couple months leading up to fall practice.
