I came away optimistic that this team could gel into a pretty good team this season. Fortunately the schedule would seem to allow some growing up – with Maryland, WSU and CSU all very beatable looking teams.

Unless one of those 3 teams plays a perfect game against us, we can probably still be learning on the job, work some kinks out, and get to 4-0.

My guess is that there will be a few more ‘young mistakes’ making a couple of our next three games a little closer than we would like – but our talent should be able to get us to 4-0 before the heart of the conference season begins.

Go Bears!

Overall, Cal played well. Freshmen had a few brain farts, but that’s what freshmen do. I think they’ll learn from those mistakes. Maryland, WSU, and Colorado St. all looked pretty sorry this weekend. I see CAL
4-0 easily!

The refs messed up a few times. Hagen had that INT, but I understand the snap decision they had to make, however, Hagan was robbed on the one the refs reviewed. What ever happened to ‘indisputable evidence’ to over turn a call. There was not the indisputable evidence needed to reverse that call, yet they reversed it. You can always depend on 3 botched calls by Pac-10 refs per game, it just depends on which side of the screw up you are on.

I thought the Refs did a great job with everything. The vereen spot looked questionable at first but if you watched the replay, it was a great spot. There was one play in the whole game that I didnt think was good, it was a PI called on a cal player along the sideline, it was on the same drive as the Thompson pick.

JO! The Dell drop was obvious to me, even with our pathetic TV screen (when will our NFL stars put up money for a better one like Oregon’s?). Back to Dell, the ball bobbled out of his hands after he hit the groud.

When someone finds a video of Riley’s pass, please post it! That was utterly amazing. I still can’t figure out how Morrah kept the safety from knocking that ball down.

On the Dell-Johnson tie catch (ties always go to the offense), it looked like Dell caught it with his body, while Johnson used his hands. That was huge in getting Cal fans to yell. The place went nuts for the entire game after that. 55,000 strong! Go Bears!
