The Bears haven’t played a complete game yet because they really haven’t had to in order to win so far. I think this Sunday’s tilt should be that complete game everybody’s been looking for. If it isn’t it could be bad news for the Bears.

Weare, I’ll find out more about the injured guys today. My hunch is Malele has a chance to go Saturday but I wouldn’t hold your breath on the other two.

Calfan, Oregon lost starting wide receiver Brian Paysinger to a knee injury last week. He’s out for the season. I’ll get the full injury report later in the week.

I cry in the shower everyday because it lessens the pain of having been rejected by Cal.

JO,
What is Oregon’s injury status? I heard they lost one of their top WR’s already. Anyone else hurting up there? Don’t want anyone to be hurt but I know our injury status and want to know what they are dealing with.
Thanks

JO, do we have any more word on our 3 wayward defensive players (Follett, Malele, and Davis)? I really hope we can get at least one of these playmakers back for this week’s epic game.

Absolutely, J Forsett is the MAN. The offense was floating and he jumps back in..takes names and kicks butt.

Re: the spread, my understanding is home field advantage is usually worth 6 points in college…so the 4.5 shows a very even match up.

My guess is the game will be close and special teams or turn-overs will win the game.

Take Oregon and the points. This is a gift from the betting gods. Oregon will expose this team as a pretender and they will drop down to #15.

I still worry about Nate. When he’s on, HE’S ON! When he’s off, however, he makes some rookie mistakes. He threw some inaccurate passes into thick coverage some 2-3 times, almost had 2 interceptions instead of the 1. He’s really got to step up his consistency to take the team to the next level.

Forsett, however, is freakin awesome! He carried the offense on his back in the 1st, 2nd, and especially 4th quarter. That guy is a workhorse who just won’t give up. I love him and actually like him better than Lynch (ok, let the arrows fly!)

I still maintain that the defense looks pretty good overall, minus the crappy 2nd-half pass-rush. Is it just me or did it seem to disappear completely after halftime? The only thing that was working were the blitzes, but with a QB like Dixon, we’re really going to need a solid d-line rush in addition to blitzes!

One last thing, what’s up with all the penalties, especially late hits?!! 14 for 121 yards!! WOW. Ok, a few of those were kind of bogus calls from the refs, but we still made a lot of mental mistakes which seems very uncharacterisc of the Tedford era bears. I wonder what’s been going on lately? We will definitely hand better opponents the game if we continue with this many penalties.

All in all, however, I think the Bears have a above-average shot at winning the Oregon game by 10 or more points. 20 or more if they all play a complete, spotless game!

GO YOU BEARS!!

The thing that is keeping me up nights about this weeks game is one simple fact:

Remember how Cal felt about Tennessee for the year between games?

…the Ducks have been thinking the same thing about the Bears.

HUGE TEST for the Bears this week, they will need to play to their full potential to get the W.

But if they do, the Bears will have taken and beaten the toughest shot they will get all year until USC comes to town.

GO BEARS!

Sorry…Stanford already had three points when they began to force turnovers and run or pass their way into the end zone…Oregon only allowed 28 unanswered points in the second quarter last Saturday. My mistake.
