Cal 23, Oregon State 6: Post Game Victory and Bowl Eligibility Thread

PrintThere will be a more detailed recap later. But for now, this is your official post game thread, to wax poetic, rant, revel, and/or cry about the game. Cal finally breaks the hex that Oregon State has had over it. Behind a huge day rushing the football and an opportunistic defense, the Bears win this one 23-6. No worrying about having to get that sixth win anymore: the Bears have it. Bowl eligibility! It feels so good!
Don't forget to fill in your report card after the jump.
You know the drill. Don't be shy to comment, but be respectful of your fellow commenters. Don't make the Hit Squad work too hard.
This is the post game thread for the Cal-OSU game only. To discuss other games, including the showdown involving the school I will not name here, click here for the non-Cal afternoon & evening games thread.
Cal also has a big volleyball match at Washington. To follow and talk about that one, go to the volleyball open thread.

We finally beat the Beavs!

Congrats to the seniors. Great way to go out, considering none of them had beaten OSU in their careers (I believe).
Wow Keenan Allen only had 3 catches for 29yds
Calvin beat him out with 2 for 32 and a TD.
In other words, Go Bears!
I’m really happy that Calvin got a TD on senior day. Injuries prevented him from becoming the stellar player we hoped for, so it’s great to see him lead the team in receiving today.

Very much this
I hadn’t realized he didn’t have a touchdown yet, but very deserving (and very fitting to have it be on Senior Day).

I thought the loss of McCain and Wilkerson was going to hurt us a ton, but Guyton had a very nice game filling in for them. That being said, I would like them to get healthy again so that we can be even more dominant.

On one of our sacks I think the Beavers tried to match a running back one on one with Guyton or Owusu
It was amusing.

I think our passing will be improved over this year, at least. Losing Marvin will be a bummer, but I think our quarterback play next year will be better, and we have one more year of KA, plus some promising younger guys. That said, it is looking more like we’ll be a run first offense, which is just fine by me.
And hopefully a penalty-free one?

Not so sure about "settled"
I’m pretty sure our running game will be great next year (as in I have no concerns there) but I think Bigelow might come on strong. Not sure if he’ll push for #1, but #2 should be a competition (though CJ is coming along great).
i hope bigelow comes on strong… but i think he might have a fumbling problem

By "settled" I meant
there aren’t any questions about our RB’s being capable or not. At the start of the season, there were a lot of questions about Sofele’s ability to step into Vereen’s shoes and if any of our backups could do well in a game. I think those questions have been answered (mostly)
by FromCtoShining(Blue)C on Nov 12, 2011 10:27 PM PST up reply actions
A little harsh
I think people were mostly complaining about why we were using him at for goal-line situations vs CJA.
But yeah he’s looked awesome and has really improved throughout the season. I’m not sure if it’s all him though or if it’s our OL improving.
I think at the start of the year there were concerns about Isi as stated by fiatlux. Then, they sorta morphed into “He’s looking OK, but I’m not sure he’s the big goaline back we need on those 3rd and 1 plays.” Now, its sorta morphed into “Least worst part of our offense!”

hehehe he's looked great
But it begs the question of why were we so pass-heavy earlier on and now we’re so run-heavy. What changed?
Did Isi improve a lot?
Did our OL improve a lot?
Did we not fully explore our run?
Or maybe the times we’ve ran it down ppl’s throat we were playing teams with poor run defense.
With that said, I hope our running game show ups against ’furd next week!
Well, it might be the quality of the team. I dont think WSU or OSU are all that good.
That said, I think the OLine has definitely improved.
It might just be that we kinda tried Maynard and realized, “Hey, let’s run the ball.”

CaliforniaGoldenBlogs: Read It | Follow It | Like It | Wear It
All three, probably
Did Isi improve a lot?
Did our OL improve a lot?
Did we not fully explore our run?
I think we’ve come to the conclusion that Maynard is better as a game manager than as someone who will march us up and down the field. We’ve given the latter role to the running game.

Hey, I’d like tot hink that Cal has really “put it together” in recent weeks. And maybe we have.
But we’ve also beat Utah, WSU, and OSU. These are 3 teams with a combined like 5 wins. These aren’t world beaters. So, while I’m desperate for every g-d win I can get, I’m not going to beat my chest and parade around like some sort of modern day Tiger Woods here.

No joke, that annoyed me no end. He’s a quality running back.

it annoyed me too because there was not only nothing to it, but no field of work to make such disparaging remarks about a Cal player. But I’m glad to see people happily eating crow. The beers to wash it down are on me!
I think some skepticism would have been justified (I’ll admit it, I wasn’t sure what kind of back he’d be before the season) based on what we saw in limited action last season, but disparagement was totally uncalled for.

Really????
You don’t think we have a right to voice our concerns about player’s abilities? I LOVED watching Isi tonight, but I think a ton of credit goes to the OLine that opened the holes for him (when they weren’t Bear hugging the DLine….). Once Isi gets past the DLine he’s tough as anyone and fights for every yard. But I’d still say running him between the tackles when the OLine ISN’T spreading the Red Sea is less effective than our recent stable of RBs. That’s okay; everyone has their strengths and I’m good with that. But you’re telling me to eat shit because that is/was my opinion??? Really?
Why don’t you just enjoy the victory and be nice about it?
PS – Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t recall anyone saying he was too slow. Tedford played him as a true freshman because, as I recall, “he’s too fast to keep off the field.” Anyone saying he was too slow was either misinformed or unfairly comparing him to JBest.
I'd like to smell the Roses before I die.
i was mainly being tongue n cheek… except your concerns proved invalid. You can be a revisionist if you like, but the fact is he got 1000 yards with two games left. I’ll enjoy the game but maybe next time before bitching about a Cal player people will let them prove or not prove themselves on the field. Seems like a fair thing to ask.
So no more pre-season speculation and banter about hopes, dreams and fears?
NOW what am I going to do with the month of August……..???
I'd like to smell the Roses before I die.
dream… dream big!
actually the comments i was referring to (and frankly I wasn’t referring to this site) were the ones that came after the Fresno State and UW games.
Glad to hear that it wasn't this site, for the most part
My perception is that those concerns are expressed mostly respectfully here, which is fine with me. If someone doesn’t think the coach or QB are good enough, say so in a constructive manner.
I only speak for myself here and, so, don’t like the “revisionist” tag you gave me. Even if Isi starts mowing over defensive tackles and my concern about that was unfounded, I don’t think there’s any cause for eating crow or shit; I’ll be glad my concern didn’t come to pass. Legitimate concerns can be wrong with no shame for anyone.
I'd like to smell the Roses before I die.

Two things, one,he played as a freshman at WR, because there was no room for him at RB; two, every single RB needs a good O-line to succeed. It did bother me earlier in the year when fans were bagging on Isi for not being “worthy” of being a Cal running back, and guess what? They were wrong.
Am I known as Cugel the Clever for nothing?
Isi was recruited at WR, but was moved to RB prior to his true freshman season.
Though he was primarily used as a fly sweep specialist throughout the year.

We really beat OSU?
I told you. it was Riley that was cursed by the Beavers and not the Cal football team.
I feel bad that Oregon-native Riley never beat any of the Oregon teams. Ironically, we probably would have taken down the Ducks last year with him at the helm.
"Some people watch adult videos on their computer - I go to YouTube and watch Jahvid Best highlight clips. That’s what gets me going."- Jim Schwartz, Detroit Lions head coach
Riley beat Oregon in 2008
he had to leave the game with a concussion but we beat them at Memorial in the great lake game
He barely played half a quarter. That doesn’t really count (he probably doesn’t remember it anyway…he was completely dazed after that concussion).
"Some people watch adult videos on their computer - I go to YouTube and watch Jahvid Best highlight clips. That’s what gets me going."- Jim Schwartz, Detroit Lions head coach
yes, but from the ESPN recap
“Cal (6-2, 4-1 Pac-10) won this lively rivalry game for the fourth time in five meetings despite floundering on offense for most of the final three quarters.”
Besides, a piece of a win still counts as a win, IMHO. Maybe unless you get benched for poor performance :)
DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A GANGSTA
or at least bowl eligible. Funny how my standards have been lowered from Rose Bowl to any bowl but i’m just as happy!
6 wins
Going into the season I thought 6 wins was a realistic goal given that we were 5-7 last year amd went into the season with no proven QB or RB and minus our 3 best defensive players from 2010. I think this season’s gone about as well as could have been expected.
Super thrilled with bowl eligibility. But let’s see if we show up in our next 2 games.

i remember the rodgers/arrington days when rolling up 250 yards on the ground (as well as 250 through the air) was normal. tonight brought me back a little bit of those memories.

2 back system
I know the level of competition was weak, and it won’t be easy vs. Furd next week,
but we finally established a 2 back system today with Sofele 190 yards and CJA 96 yards (espn stats. i dunno if its correct)
i'm a fan of the
35 – 40 touches to the tail back position and a little less passing.

O-line dominance
Sure, Oregon State and Wazzu don’t have great defenses, but it’s great to see the O-line manhandling the opponent. Not long ago (MARSHAAAAAAAALLLLLLL) our running game was hit-or-miss against even the lowliest opponents.
Another thing I really like is that this O-line is downright mean. Galas and the guys have a knack for getting under the opponents’ skin. This should work well against Burfict in two weeks.
Now if only MSG could stop holding and false starting multiple times per game…

right.
City Stages, the big music festival in Birmingham. 1995. I got free-rolled into the VIP area in shady fashion and was told not to use my real name. So I scribbled “Matt Dunigan,” the prospecting QB of the new CFL team in Birmingham.
You think wine in a box is bad? Scotch in a box is worse. And there was an incident.
So a week later, I’m reading a CFL discussion board, and somebody wrote “I don’t know if this team is going to be any good. I’m pretty sure their quarterback was throwing up off a parking deck at City Stages on Saturday.”
And then, they made me their chief…

Rushing yards stat
This is the third time Cal has rushed for over 200 yards as a team this season, and for the second consecutive game. Last week, Cal rushed for 292 yards against Washington State along with tonight’s 296. The last time the Bears ran for 200 yards in back-to-back games was in 2009 at UCLA (289) and vs. Washington State (309).

I believe 5 and 6 switch from year to year and have some flexibility in who they take – in fact, I thought at one point that maybe 4-5-6 could “draft” the actual teams in those spots. I could be mistaken.
The question is, with $C ineligible, will all seven spots go filled?

I’m sure the Fight Hunger Bowl would love to get Cal, but I don’t know how enthusiastic people will be for another game in AT&T Park. That alone might be enough to tip it to Vegas, unless they have dibs and take LA (which I’m sure they would, given the 4 hour drive for fans who weren’t expecting to go bowling this year).
I don’t know what Utah’s record is, but I think that’s it for eligible teams…I believe Navy has a tie-in for the Poinsettia Bowl if eligible, so they would certainly love to make that matchup.

depends
if there are enough bowls to go around and enough teams with six 1-A wins. I think one of the Arizona schools missed on a bowl last year because they had two I-AA wins, and I think you can only count one I-AA win per four years against your bowl eligibility. That may have changed.
Personally, I think there are too damn many bowls, and if it’s going to stay a 12-game season, the threshold should be 7. But wait on raising that until next year, for Cal and Vandy’s sakes…

ASU was also trying to get the NCAA to waive the rule in ASU’s case because they played two FCS teams by no fault of their own. A FBS school on its schedule (San Jose State) backed out of the game contract and ASU couldn’t get an FBS opponent to fill the opening.

He had one punt that was poorly kicked. He was working around midfield and was unable to pin OSU inside the 20. In fact, I think the punt was caught around the 30. That might be what you were thinking of.

That whole situation was a bit of a clusterfuck. We took a delay of game penalty to give him more room and then he shanked it, so we might as well have just punted it to the end zone in the first place.
