On the 49ers podcast with Marko:

#1 Before last Sunday’s game at Levi Stadium the San Francisco 49ers (3-4) organization were excited about the signing of running back Christian McCaffrey from the Carolina Panthers. But McCaffrey can’t do all the heavy lifting as the 49ers were defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs (5-2) heavily 44-23.

#2 McCaffrey carried for eight times for 38 yards for an average of 4.8 yards. His teammates and fans were excited to see him carry the ball but it wasn’t enough as he didn’t score and the offense fall well short of challenging the Chiefs.

#3 Marko, talk about George Kittle who picked up his first touchdown of the season with six receptions for 98 yards and averaged 16.3 yards per catch. A day on the field but still facing the Chiefs you have to get in the end zone more times then that.

#4 McCaffrey got in the game but the question that resounded loudly how prepared was he for head coach Kyle Shanahan’s playbook?

#5 The Los Angeles Rams (3-3) despite getting defeated by the 49ers back on Oct 3, 24-9 and have lost two of their last three games they will have home field this Sunday and are coming off a 24-10 win against the Carolina Panthers how do you see this match up?

On the Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 Tony, three touchdowns in one quarter the last one at that for Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs not bad in a day’s work in defeating the Houston Texans.

#2 Tony was it a matter of the Texans virtually didn’t have any run defense or Jacobs was able to find holes and capitalize the run game.

#3 Tony as a team the Raiders finished the game with 400 yards of offense and averaged 7.3 yards per carry. That’s some improved offense since their previous game against the Kansas City Chiefs in that one point 30-29 loss.

#4 On the Houston side of the field the Texans head coach Lovie Smith said the defense just didn’t play well enough Sunday. Smith said the defense needs to keep pushing and do better than they did.

#5 The Raiders start a two game road trip starting in New Orleans this Sunday and it’s off to Jacksonville on Sun Oct 30th. What is your prediction for this Sunday at the Superdome.

Nico Sturm added an empty netter to match Karlsson for the team lead I’m goals.

Barracuda celebrate the christening of their new crib with 4-0 shutout win over Silver Knights

by Marko Ukalovic

SAN JOSE— The San Jose Barracuda christened their brand-new arena with a 4-0 shutout victory over the Henderson Silver Knights in its home opener on Saturday evening at Tech CU Arena. San Jose has started out 3-0 for the first time in its short franchise history.

Henderson has lost three in a row and four of its first five games to start out the season. 4,015 were in attendance in the brand new 4,200 seat arena to witness the new look Barracuda team that will look to put last season in the rearview mirror with a young group of fresh faces.

Former ‘Cuda captain John McCarthy is the new captain at the helm as the new head coach for San Jose. He replaced Roy Sommer (who left to coach the AHL affiliate of the Anaheim Ducks, the San Diego Gulls), who was with the organization for 26 years, coaching the AHL affiliate the past 24.

McCarthy’s team features 11 new forwards, two new defenseman and three new goalies in a revamped roster that was assembled by ‘Cuda general manager Joe Will this past off season. “Something we talked about before the game tonight was kind of establishing this place as a hard place (for the opposition) to play.

Something like that takes time to establish, but I think tonight was a big first step in showing (teams) that you’re not going to come in here and get two points easily,” McCarthy said.

San Jose drew first blood halfway through the first period. Derrick Pouliot found Tristen Robbins to the left of the crease and Robbins buried a wrist shot past Silver Knights goalie Jiri Patera for his second goal of the season at the 9:50 mark.

The ‘Cuda doubled its lead late in the first period. Captain Andrew Agozzino led a counterattack up the ice and Braden Coe skated in on a breakaway and beat Patera with a low shot to the right for his first goal of the season at the 17:41 mark.

It was the first game of the season for Coe, who did not play in the team’s first two games against Iowa, and he was ready for his opportunity. “For me personally, I was ready to bang some bods (bodies). I like to get into the competition. It was good, it was fun. We like that chippy game, we can play like that all day,” Coe said.

The Barracuda outshot the Silver Knights 13-9 as they dictated the pace of the play in the opening 20 minutes. Henderson thought they had a goal at the 6:04 mark of the second when Gage Quinney looked to have slid a puck into the net past ‘Cuda goalie Aaron Dell.

However, after video review the goal was waved off by referee Jordan Watt. San Jose scored it third unanswered goal late in the second period. A shot from the point by Pouliot was redirected by Coe for his second goal of the game at the 15:34 mark.

The Barracuda scored the only goal in the third period. On a delayed penalty, Thomas Bordeleau sniped home a puck into an open net for his second goal of the season at the 14:02 mark. Jeffery Viel and Patrick Sieloff were credited with assists.

Dell stopped all 34 shots to earn his first shutout of the season and ninth of his AHL career. Patera made 27 saves on 31 shots in the losing effort. “I felt good,” Dell said regarding his performance. “We tightened it up a little bit since the last weekend. We started off a little bit loose, turn the puck over. But as the game went on, we learned (from our mistakes).

I think it was a great game for us, learning wise that way.” GAME NOTES: San Jose finished 0-for-2 on the power play. Henderson was 0-for-4. The Three Stars of the Game were: 1) Dell 2) Coe 3) Pouliot UP NEXT: San Jose and Henderson conclude its two-game series on Sunday 10/23 at 3:00pm at Tech CU Arena.

Stanford Kicker, Joshua Karty Hails as the Homecoming Hero with 5 FG’s to Edge Past Arizona State, 15-14

By Michael Roberson

STANFORD, Calf.–  The Stanford Cardinal won their Homecoming game on the mighty foot of junior kicker, Joshua Karty, as his five field goals were enough to extinguish the Arizona Sun Devils, 15-14, by a proverbial toenail.

“Yeah, it doesn’t make any sense, but as an old coaching thing that I heard a long time ago that I say sometimes too, which is like, you win one game, win the second one and make it count. That can’t just be a stand-alone game.

You have to go on and win the next one to prove that it wasn’t a fluke.”  Stanford HC David Shaw on team’s consecutive wins.

Stanford initially took the lead the first five minutes of the game, on a 44-yard field goal by Joshua Karty.  Unfortunately, that didn’t last long, because Sun Devil’s graduate running back, X Valladay scampered for a 15-yard touchdown.  Karty kicked another field goal (36yd) within the last two minutes of the first quarter, 7-6 ASU.

Not satisfied with the one-point advantage after 15 minutes of action, Arizona State scored less than a minute into the second stanza, on a 39-yard bomb pass from junior quarterback, Emory Jones to sophomore wide receiver, Elijhah Badger..! 4-6 ASU.

The remaining 14 minutes of the half had both quarterbacks (Jones & Tanner McKee) exchanging interceptions, and Arizona State’s freshman kicker, Carter Brown missed a field goal with 1:00 on the clock.  The Cardinal avoided being down by double-digits at the half. 14-6 ASU.

Joshua Karty converted his third field goal (44 yards) late in the third and his fourth (36 yards) early in the fourth quarter, to bring Stanford within two points in the final quarter.  14-12 ASU
With the game still in the balance, “Mr. Homecoming ” used his right foot again to put out the Sun Devils’ fire, with a 47-yard game winning boot.

Joshua minimized the magnitude of the big annual game.

  “Oh, I try to keep the external dynamics kind of out of my head, like in a game. It was nice that it was homecoming, but for me, when I woke up this morning it was another game to stay locked in as usual.” 

“But just glad I could contribute to the team and get a great team win today.”  Added Karty.

Junior quarterback Tanner McKee threw for an impressive 320 yards on a whopping 57 attempts, but didn’t get into the endzone and threw an interception.  He was just happy for the win.

 The crucial victory marks the Cardinal’s first Pac 12 win of the season, and third overall.  Stanford (3-4) heads down to the “City of Angels” next, to take on the #9 UCLA Bruins (6-1), Saturday, October 29.  

Coach Shaw is ready for the challenge: 

“Looking forward for this team to come back and see who’s healthy this week from today, and then put together a good plan, have our guys get ready to go down to Southern California and fight, and looking forward to this week.”

The Stanford Cardinal win their Homecoming contest by a single point (15-14): however, former player, Bryce Love was inspirational in the victory with his presence on the Farm, according to Coach Shaw.  Cardinal Alum, Christian McCaffery being traded to the San Francisco 49ers also gives him comfort and pleasure, with him now now being nearby the campus and football program.
