Rollonubears,

Have to disagree with you. In just about all the Big Games (outside of the Harbaugh years), Tedford benefitted from better athletes than Stanford. Also not much coaching needed when you have Buddy Teevens and Walt Harris. But I guess if you compare Tedford to those guys, you could say he “outcoached” them.

In 2009, we actually should have lost. Harbaugh overthought that ending. Should have given the ball to Gerhart and we would not have had the Axe that year.

Always loved that handle (and poorly thought-out ‘phone number; who’re the weenies really?): Be At Cal.

Wise words, my friend, wise words.

Try reading the record book, you fool. Cal is 39-32-2 in the series.

2009 vs. Stanfurd. He outcoached Harbaugh, big time. That team was way more talented than the bears, and while it took an interception in the closing minutes to win, we shouldn’t have even been close in that game, but we were. Actually, in just about all of the Big Games, he’s outcoached the opponent. Remember Steve Levy? That was another awesome game.

Jeff Tedford also has to coach out of his mind for us to win. What that last few years has showed us, is that he is not the offensive genius we all thought he was. He was doing well based on recruiting and allowing the talent we had to try and “execute.”

Tedford has a track record of not being able to get us in from the 1-yard line on several occasions, not being able to make second half adjustments, and not being able to stop the bleeding once the floodgates open. I have yet to see anything that lets me think that he is a nothing more than a good recruiter. Can anyone point out a game where Tedford “outcoached” an opponent?

Here are the keys to getting out of Autzen with some dignity tomorrow night:

1) Create early turn-overs and get Oregon out of its rhythem. A couple of bone jarring tackles behind the line of scrimmage that lead to fumbles and early Cal scores would do the trick.
2) Run, Run run the ball to keep possession and keep the Ducks off the field. Even if Cal goes behind early, they can’t panic and start throwing the ball on every down. The Arizona/Oregon game two weeks ago will be a repeat template if Cal tries to throw the ball on every down to catch up.
3) When the Bears score, they HAVE to get down on the kickoff and pin Oregon back behind the 25-yard-line or better. Ditto on punts. Short fields will lead to plenty of Oregon scores. Special teams must be HUGE in Cal’s favors to presage a Cal victory.
4)Zach Maynard has to play out of his mind. He is going to have to spread the ball to his tight ends and backs to keep Oregon off balance. And yes…he needs to break out of the pocket and run a few times to keep Oregon’s defense honest.

If Cal can accomplish all of those things, the team just might be able to beat the 24-point spread.
