Coach Tedford on KNBR

Coach Jeff Tedford was interviewed this morning on KNBR radio. Here’s a summary of his comments:

Tennessee:
Very anxious to go to Tennessee, great program
Tennessee recruits well, has good facilities and tremendous athletes

High expectations:
Cal isn’t sneaking up on anyone (preseason rank, etc.)
Competing for Pac-10 championship on a national level
Scheduling tough opponents necessary for national recognition

Nate Longshore:
Fully healed, but not 100%
Knows he will work very hard to get back this summer to be ready for season

Spread offense:
Just another thing that opponents will have to prepare for
Who opponent is determines how much spread will utilized
Another weapon in arsenal

Aaron Rodgers:
Great for Rodgers to have opportunity to sit and watch Favre
His time is coming up this year or next
Tremendous future; very smart, quick release, very tough, great guy

Offensive line:
Lost 3 guys of high quality (NFL draft) and leadership - hard to replace
Current OL talented but haven’t played together
Andrew Cameron returning will provide leadership experience and depth
Mike Tepper will be a main contributor
