CGB discusses possible Oregon sanctions and the effect that they would have on the Duck program.

Cal football head coach Jeff Tedford and athletic director discuss the Willie Lyles connection with the Golden Bears that is currently plaguing Chip Kelly and the Oregon Ducks football program.

The Cal football defensive strategy last year against the Oregon Ducks involved two unoccupied defenders shadowing quarterback Darron Thomas and running back LaMichael James.

The Oregon Ducks playbook by Chip Kelly figures to give the California Golden Bears defense a lot of trouble Saturday night. We look at Oregon's running plays (inside zone, outside zone, veer, zone read, play-action passes, triple option, bubble screens, etc.).

The Oregon Ducks up-tempo offense under Chip Kelly has probably gotten more reps in practice, leading to better execution on gameday. Having Darron Thomas, LaMichael James, Jeff Maehl, and one of the most experienced offensive lines in college football doesn't hurt either.

We take at the look at the stories behind the photos of Week 8 in Pac-10 football. We check out the Oregon Ducks, Arizona Wildcats and California Golden Bears respectively beating down the UCLA Bruins, Washington Huskies, and Arizona State Sun Devils, and the Stanfurd Cardinal's struggle to put away the Washington State Cougars.
