Today was about building back up Longshore's confidence and getting him to think more on his feet without rushing things. ASU probably picked up on that the second half which resulted in the weak rushing performance the second half. BTW, anyone know why we didn't see Slocum today? That was a bit of a surprise.

Cal is too conservative and lacks killer instinct (its been this way for awhile now). The playcalling kept ASU in the game. Thank goodness for our Defense and Anger's punts.Cal could have had a much bigger win. Hey JO,

Outstanding defensive effort today! Go Bears! JO-

All the high percentage short-passes, screens, ptiches to Vereen to spread out the d, slow down the pass rush, and lessen the pressure on Longshore on 3rd downs were non-existent, which led to the disappearance of the running game in my opinion.
