no matter how much you hate longshore...
you gotta admit he’s handled the whole situation very well
If we fall behind, then I’ll get worried. I generally don’t worry about Nate unless we’re in that situation.
I like Nate though; think he might become a coach if the NFL doesn’t pan out?
I’d like him to be successful as a coach but I dont know if he has enough fire and energy in him to do it. He always seems so laid back

Still, I don’t see how that would impact his coaching ability. Just because he doesn’t do it doesn’t mean he won’t tell someone else to do it.
we should be up by more...
and be shutting them out. the 5 turnovers = close game.
it shows you how well cal is playing that they are leading by 10 even after all that.
i wouldnt be surprised if they change qb’s though. masoli looks bad passing.
But it is raining, so it is not like the turnovers are really unexpected.
I can’t really see how we could have played any better in this game after the Oregon score. For that point on we had four turnovers, missed two field goals and still went on a 16-0 run
ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG
So I’ve been out all day until now.
WHY IS LONGSHORE IN THE GAME
Still happy over the fact that the Nets signed Ryan Anderson. Now if only they can sign Leon Powe after this year...
and why does vereen have three times as many carries as Jahvid?

i think best is having extra ball security problems because of his bulky arm brace + the slick ball.

Definitely concussed. I’ve had a concussion before; I felt like how Riley looked, that’s for sure. You feel ok after 30-1hr or so, though.
I’m thinking if he does have a concussion, he’s not getting back in the game.

certainly seems unlikey today...
longshore has been pressured but if there is one thing he is good at it’s getting rid of the ball quickly to avoid a sack.

WHAM!

Oregon held to 76 total yds in the 1st half.
And Cal D is fresh and rested for the second half. Oregon likes to run a defense ragged chasing them side to side so they are worn out later in the game, but that won’t happen today. Cal D has hardly been on the field at all… they’re not even warmed up yet!
nate's had two of his best days as qb
against oregon. hope he can continue that for two more quarters.
i hope so too. though this is doing any favors to our quarterback controversy. on the other hand, we are lucky that losing our starting qb did not cripple our offense.
I concur. If nothing else, this should serve as some validation to show that Tedford wasn’t just blindly loyal to Longshore…although it may muddle things once again once Riley’s ready to play.

Longshore setup for failure
Just as long as Tedford runs no throwing to the sideline plays for NL to get pick 6’ed, we should be ok. But when NL starts against USC and gets smashed its going to be setup for Riley to try to rescue us again.
come on
they have abandoned the pass… stop this.. tackle
best back in..
big gain and doesnt fumble it!!
PI?
Holding my breath…
Thankfully that’s not reviewable.
it feels as if patrick chung has been playing for oregon forever.
i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*
does the field have no drainage or anything? arent these artificial surfaces designed to prevent water from gathering like that? is it just the volume of rain…
nice answer to their drive…
I would take my eyes off the ball too...
if I heard Ezeff comin at me with a full head of steam.
is it more fun watching games
when you dont care about the outcome?
god i hate watching cal games.
hahaha i feel the exact same way
this isn’t enjoyment – this is a job.

I seriously have never seen Syria have a better game
last year he was on and off… today he’s the best punter in the NCAA.
Yeah he’s boomed those things. Draft stock has risen for him.

cals top three receivers...
are RECEIVERS. weird.
cant believe
we just ran up the middle.. with this makeshift line we cant run right at them when they know it’s coming…
I can’t wait for when Cal gets another big, goal-line type back. We’ve been mediocre in between the tackles. I heard we pulled in a 4 star prospect who should fit the bill.
dasarte yarnaway is his name
big back.

damnit...
3 point game… wheres that defense…
looks like our offense will have to win this one for us ::shudder::

oregon adjusted since the half. cal's D hasn't.

Oregon didn't bother passing
It seems like a good strategy for them.
they cant throw the ball at all...
why are they running so well
gregory has never been a great 2nd half adjustments coordinator

I'm really sick of David Norrie and his odes to the Fillmore
I like the place, too, but enough already.
should have been a pick. nate evades his 2nd half reputation for now....

the defense
is falling apart… they are just running at will…
they have no passing game!! stuff the run
Yea, like that one Pittsburgh game last year
