EITHER PUT IN RILEY

just imagine

how happy you will be if we actually win this game. That is beyond my active imagination.

Well, Riley’s in.

Longshore with the hat, does that mean he doesn’t think he is coming back

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 6:58 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

don’t they always wear hats on the sidelines?

www.californiagoldenblogs.com

by HydroTech on Nov 8, 2008 6:59 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Probably when they wear the headset.

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:00 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Gentlemen, I’m not sure I agree with the move to put in Riley for health reason, but this is a game for men. Let’s go Bears!

by The Hombre on Nov 8, 2008 6:58 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I’m just praying he doesn’t get hit hard.

Nice play by the SC LB there.

by The Hombre on Nov 8, 2008 6:59 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think this was a planned sub for Riley

…. if LS wasn’t effective in the 1H, he was going with Riley at the drop of a hat… let’s see if i’m right at the post-game presser… i’m sure the question will be asked.

by danzig on Nov 8, 2008 6:59 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

The offense just feels more dangerous with Riley out there. I have hope!

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:00 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I agree…. i just hope Riley’s relaly 100% okay enough to be playing

me too. we need him for the next 2 years.

by Wham on Nov 8, 2008 7:02 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Like you said, I don’t think Tedford is the kind of coach to risk the health of his QB just for a game we were expected to lose. He’s probably okay to play, as long as he doesn’t run headfirst into groups of LBs.

I feel like Riley should be wearing the old Steve Young double helmet out there

Take a hold, take a 15 yd for a chop block, but DO NOT LET THEM HIT RILEY. Still don’t think I like this move. But what do I know, my school’s down 35.

This is Longshore's fault.

It’s to offset the penalties that saved him.

We did get saved by the calls on the INTs, but those weren’t nearly as bad of calls

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:07 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Those actually were good calls.

Go Bears!

Yep. I’m still sick of the screen passes especially against a D like SC’s.

You can’t push over our receiver.

by The Hombre on Nov 8, 2008 7:07 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think it is both the officiating, and the fact that USC commits a ton of penalties

Could there have been a problem with the way the receivers lined up. Or was this just a bad call?

The phantom TD in a USC-Cal game was in 2002 from what I recall, Carson Palmer was the QB.

there was a 90+ yd td run by cal. i forget why it was call backed
