Rookie, some of his passes were inaccurate but some were the receivers fault. Others were nice break-ups by the defense. But I think Riley could have gone 21-for-21 and Tedford still wouldn’t have named him. He just doesn’t seem ready to name him yet.

I disagree with you, MoreN…
Cal has much greater chance this year than any other year. The QB controversy is not there for distraction. Riley is much improved. Back up QB, Mansion is solid and perform well in fall camp. all the play maker receivers are back. They are deep on running back. The defense is superb and fast.

If they can keep healthy all season, They will rock and go all the way.

Go Bears!

Thanks JO, Love the reports per usual. Love to read INTELLIGENT commentary too. Too bad some lesser educated folk from down south have trouble with providing that.

Doesn’t like JT was super worried about Tad, although it is always a blow to lose a senior to injury (if for nothing but injury issues).

I’d love to hear more about Jordan’s work ethic and motivation over the coming weeks especially when the media is there (i.e. proving to everyone nationally he is for real–because the guy is an INCREDIBLE talent).

No I did not say you would lose your first 4 games. I do believe you will lose…

Minnesota – away. This is another Maryland type game
Oregon – away. They are gunning for you bigtime
USC – home. You don’t have the skill position players to beat us
pucla – Tedford can’t get it down down in Pasadena even when playing an underwhelming pucla team (which is always the case).

The real test will start with Minnesota away game. Count on a loss. Then 3 more losses – Oregon, USC and pucla. We will see at that point in time how strong and confident the team feels. The Greatest Collapse in College Football History Part Deux is coming. Stay tuned.

Sucks for Tad, man I wish you the best. Jordan on the other hand is healthy and talented and he is wasting it all, that is even more sad. I was under the impression that DL was one of the decided positions on the team, so I am a little surprised by the news about his demotion. Lets hope Jordan will get his act together and allow his potential to shine. Anyhow thanks for the rather extensive report JO, especially considering the 30 minute limit.

I spoke to a player today. He told me Riley is the man, that the whole team is behind him. He said the team is feeling very strong — much more confident than he’s ever seen in summer camp before.

These are good players. I like their confidence — they don’t need to go bragging that they are responsible for stuff or take credit for stuff they don’t do. That’s what makes them good men.
