defnese looks fine, offense looked great on opening scoring drive, now it looks sluggish

Offense looks mediocre, defense looks okay, special teams are miserable (responsible for both OSU touchdowns).

very little offense on either side

But OSU has two huge kick returns and Cal only one

Eh… Our defense has started giving up big plays.

How the heck was he so open?

That defense was Oregon-like

Very few rules in life

But a good defense doesn’t give up a first down on 2nd and 30.

Sigh. Everything looked so good in the first two minutes, and now everything looks so bad in the last 14.

I'm hoping things will play out like the Oregon game

Ugly start, d picks up the pace and the O finds a rhythm. I’m not too optimistic though

Great play by a d-lineman

sniffed the screen and covered Rodgers at the line

by norcalnick on Nov 15, 2008 1:25 PM PST reply reply   0 recs

Two good d-line plays in a row.

by sec119 on Nov 15, 2008 1:26 PM PST to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Whew. D is picking it up… but it feels about time for OSU to bust a big play :(

by BleedinBlue on Nov 15, 2008 1:26 PM PST reply reply   0 recs

Did you see the block by Rodgers on that last tipped ball?

Would’ve been a sack.

Another great block by Jacquizz.

Might be the best part of his game.

2nd and 30, 3rd and 15

I see how this game is going.

It’s like listening to Ted Miller if he were announcing a USC game.

To be fair, he was high on Javhid at the start of the season.

Instead of bringing pressure, they bring only 3

just like on 2nd and 30 and 3rd and 15…

by CBKWit on Nov 15, 2008 1:31 PM PST reply reply   0 recs

OSU has two senior receivers...

I think Cal has a better chance of bringing pressure. Morales is finding holes in the zone.

They’d probably do better with man to man coverage in long yardage situations.

by BearsNecessity on Nov 15, 2008 1:34 PM PST to parent up reply reply   0 recs

according to whom?

I know that we often dropped 8 last year against OSU and made Canfield look like Peyton Manning

by CBKWit on Nov 15, 2008 1:33 PM PST to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Well that was on 2nd/3rd short situations and our pass rush sucked last year. We’ve done pretty well rushing 3 this year.

by BearsNecessity on Nov 15, 2008 1:34 PM PST to parent up reply reply   0 recs

No

Two critical plays in last years OSU game. 3rd and 8 & 3rd and 15. Rushed 3 both times and gave up critical first downs both times.

Though I agree that we have been much better rushing 3 this year than last year.

"Long, steady drive..."

I’ve forgotten what that looks like on our side of the ball.

I haven’t remembered a long steady drive from Cal in a while; mostly quick strike drives in the past 2 years.

we have essentially not had a running game for about half the season

long steady drives are not part of the Cal offensive package

it’s clearly a strategy on Tedford’s part to confuse our opponents – defenses get befuddled when they get too much rest.

tedford will make the right adjustments
