Thoughts on Last Weeks Game:
For this game, it seems that Tedford tried to do different things with his game plan. First, he deferred the ball for the first time since being HC, electing to kick the ball to start the game. We also saw one of the least balanced offensive attack seen under Tedford that wasn’t a blowout. Cal …

Here are the basic arguements:For Nate- Longshore is injured. Let him rest until he is 100% and then bring him back.- Longshore has led Cal this far. He made some good throws but had a couple bad gam…
Tags: Kevin Riley, Nate LongshoreHere is how I watched the game on Saturday, which started at 10:15pm EST.First Quarter:- Late dinner at home. Opened up a bottle of wine with the meal.- Defense came out attacking and was getting great pressure on the ASU QB. While some of the drives…
Tags: Jeff Tedford, Zack FollettThis is a big game for Cal. Cal has never lost three in a row under Coach Tedford. But I am not a big believer in looking at past performance as indicators for the current year.Cal has to win this game to keep their slim Rose Bowl/Pac 10 championship…

Arizona State Defense
Once again, Cal faces two very good pass rushers on the opposing defensive line. ASU’s DE #58 Dexter Davis last year, as a redshirt freshman, accumulated 40 tackles with 10.5 tackle for loses (TFL) and 6 of those 10.5 TFL were sacks. This year, Davis already has 13 tackles with 7.5TFL (6.5 sacks). Davis also has 2QB hurries and 2 forced fumbles. …

Oregon State Defense:
OSU’s DL looks to be very formidable. They have the #1 rush defense in the nation (43.50ypg). The only team to rush more then 40yards against OSU is UCLA with 150yards. Even then, UCLA only avg 2.55ypc on 50+ carries. This DL did a very good job against ASU’s RB Ryan Torian, who is one of the premier backs of the Pac10, holding …
Tags: UCLAOregon Defense: Oregon’s Dline has a lot of depth and talent. They return 6 of the top 8 linemen with 5 having previous starting experience. They added a couple of highly touted JUCO players in the offseason that should provide even more depth. Last year they allowed 4.3ypc in a down year. This year so far they are allowing 4.09ypc which isn’t that much …
No tag for this post.Thoughts On Last Weeks Game: Ezeff played great. Desean Jackson is bobbling a lot of punts/passes and probably should be rested to heal. The only bad part (or good) is that even with a bad thumb he still draws attention and allows the middle to open for Hawkins. If we rest him, we may lose that part of the field. I expect him to …
Tags: Desean Jackson, Marcus EzeffThoughts On Last Weeks Game: My initial reaction after watching last weeks game was shock on how badly we underperformed. After a second viewing, I still think we underperformed but I have to give credit to CSU for also playing very well. The first half was controlled by CSU; they dominated possession time by being more physical than our Dline and …
No tag for this post.Colorado State Defense We all know that Cal’s offense will score on this team. The question is how many points does Cal put up on the board. On paper CSU’s D- line should be one of their strengths. They return their 2 deep from last years unit that allowed 149ypg rushing, a number that was inflated by games against TCU and Air Force …
No tag for this post.Ok. let me admit first where I was wrong- UCLA rushing defense is much better than I expected. They held Cal RB’s to less than 100 yards and that is an impressive feat.- Patrick Cowen is better on one leg than most QB’s. That guy made the plays when …
