What are your predictions for tomorrow's game? Not necessarily the score but who we play, who the game goes, etc.

Will Isi surprise us?
Will Maynard run for 100 yards?

My predictions:
- Our offense will be rough the first few minutes as Maynard adjusts to the conditions.
- we will dig deeper into our team also due to conditions so I expect uglier playing as the game goes on.
- cja scores his first td.

My guess is Allen goes over 150 yards receiving and 2 tds. Cal rolls by 2 tds

Colorado will come out fired up and looking like a different team that against Hawaii. We will get down early, panic a little and look out of sorts for the rest of the game. A late rally falls short, ends with a pick.

Count it.

Just checked the weather. Should be a perfect day. Mid 70's and wind looks to be nil. I'm sure we'll have games with these guy where that is not the case...

So, given our height advantage with our wr's over their db's, I feel that we must exploit that; and if so, the running game will be productive. I would be surprised if our D gives-up more than 2 TD's (non-TO aided). I see at 17 to 20 point margin of victory, IF the passing game clicks.

If the Buffs do anything that complicates our ability to sub players, in conjunction with a struggling passing attack, we might be in for a nail-bitter.

We just faced a fired up team last week. We fell behind early, and we came back to win in convincing fashion.

Colorado is at best only slightly more talented than Fresno State. Colorado has nothing shocking to show us. Wanting to win really badly and hating the Cal script doesn't count.

Colorado is not as bad as last year's 52-7 outcome would suggest, but they are still an underwhelming woe. In fact, they are an underwhelming foe with weaknesses (subpar overall team speed and a bad o-line) that play right into our hands.

Here's a prediction: If we lose to Colorado, we don't win a single road game this season. This is as close to a layup as we'll get on the road this year. No reasonable amount of improvement will help us in our later road games, if we can't meet this simple baseline now.

Well, someone has to appease the woofing gods.

What if there's only one woofing god who gets angred by polytheistic superstition? :p

This is roughly my best case scenario. The delta shrinks with every big mistake we make. I have no idea how many there will be.

You guys realize if Cal hadn't given FSU 14 points, made its two PATs, and didn't have 2 TDs called back or plays that would have led to two TDs....the score should have been Cal 52 and FSU 7.....Cal is its own worst enemy......I hope Cal pulls it together again on Colorado...AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAA

I predict . . . Starkey blanking on all the receivers' names tomorrow.

Blame it on the al-al-al-al-al-al-ti-tude.

No td in the red zone, missed 2 field goal, missed 1 extra point, 135 yds on the ground, o line makes fewer mistakes than in the fresno st game, one or two defensive lapses.

the BEARS winning but annoyingly ugly game. or loses in a very disgusting manner.

we are not tight enough to make this a complete smackdown but we have vastly superior talent and coaching. this should be a 2-3 td win. anything else and i'll be a lot more worried about this year.

48-17. That is only if Maynard plays as well as last week. Isi needs to have a decent-good game as well.

Cal 85 - Colorado 2

CU 6

We score 10 TDs, four safeties and and extra point.

I think it will be Cal 30-10, but I bet Cal by 17 last weekend on BearPlay, so I will back my optimism off by 2 points and say Cal 28-10. go Bears
