Agree! But I'm ok with going for the FG after that play, best at that point to go for the sure points then gamble again and come up empty.


Of course everyone is OK with going for a FG in that situation. It's when we go for FGs when we have at least one or more plays to make a TD - that's when we go bonkers.

I wish we played at Memorial every week.


Ditto - Cal at home is dominant but Cal on the road is a pushover, except for the Big Game. Just not sure why JT's teams are so Jekyll and Hyde at home vs on road.

And of course the question we're all asking.... Where the hell were these guys last week?

ASU is a pretty good team this year, they gave Oregon fits, and lost to Wisconsin and OSU by only 1 and 3 points respectively on the road. Impressive show by Cal so far.

All the receivers looking good this game and not dropping balls. Unfortuantely, Riley is showing that his arm is understrength for these long bombs. He's been short on both of Marvin Jones catches. Only Jones great effort made those both catches.


Marvin atoning for his drops last wk. If he's going to be as stellar as he's today, we just need good enough pass blocking so Riley can throw up jump balls for Marvin to snare.

Yes, I am too. Give the man his due. The things that we are whining about -- he is actually trying some things. There's hope yet. Now whether he does these kinds of things in a hotly contested game at Corvallis is another matter entirely. But this is a good sign. I can't believe how schizo we are.


until the team starts looking competitive when playing on the road against teams like USC or Oregon I'm giong to continue to be ambivilent about Tedford. He does seem to get the team to play well at home and when ahead, but I still haven't seen this team show the leadership and toughness a good coach instills.

exactly, not including the games against ASU and Stanford last year, this statement would be true.

Absolutely. He already has over 100 yards receiving. I'm trying to remember the last time we had a receiver go over 100 in the first half.

Well, at least enjoy today.

Yah I don't understand how $C made us look like a high school team against them last week. I mean UW, Minn., UVa, Furd, and even Hawaii all stayed on the field with those guys. But we can't?

Wierd kickoff by ASU to start the second half. Onside gone wrong, maybe?

Nice run by Shane, BTW

It's not just USC. It's us on the road - we are two completely different teams at home vs. on the road.

Well our D played great @ Arizona. We just folded like a cheap lawn chair in L.A.

Agree on Arizona and USC this yr. If you look at his record last few yrs, we tend to struggle on the road, sometimes in embarrassing ways.

Time to see Sweeney in the next offensive series???

Man Conte is so good this year.

No, Riley gives us the best chance to win.

I missed the first half out and about and, well... looks like we got the top 25 home Bears today.

Ah, look. Conte intercepts a punt? nice...

Did everything on that play short of grilling the hot dogs for everyone watching it!

Amen! - now is the time when Kevin needs a pat on the butt for a game well played, and the bench needs to get some reps!

Riley should stay in the game for a few more series. I wouldn't mind seeing Shane getting the rest of the game off. We will need him healthy for the Beavs.

How are the recruits liking the beatdown the Bears are giving the Sun Devils? Glad we're airing it out a few times for Farmer to see.

Conte has finally found his home as a safety rather than being forced to play CB. He's looked very good this season.

I'd rather see Sweeney or Bridgeford if they are allowed to run the normal offense. Riley is a senior and we need to work on developing next seasons starter.

I like his post game (USC) comments as well. Despite playing a hell of a game he took responsibility for the defensive breakdown. Leadership...

Cal should run outside more. We didn't do that at USC and we have some success in doing that.

WOW! Calvin with the clutch 3rd down conversion catch!

Not sure why Ross continues to take fair catches inside the 10.

Nice catch by Calvin.
