Longshore gets the start
Well it turns out the rumors were right. Nate Longshore gave Joe Ayoob the booya and took the starting job from him. He’ll be starting the game vs. Sac State and although Tedford has promised some starting time to Ayoob, it looks like the job is Longshore’s to lose.
To quote Tedford:
“Nate Longshore is going to start the game for us. He has done an excellent job for us, not only through the spring, but it’s evident that he worked really hard through the summer. He has really done a nice job of understanding what we are doing schematically with our offense, has really been consistent and accurate with throwing the ball, so I feel that he has really performed well. … We hope that both of them (Longshore and Ayoob) will play in the first game and we’ll see what happens from there – how they handle game situations and continue the competition. Right now Nate (Longshore) is the guy.”

I just read a review of the game that is now over. I hope that Cal is still in the standings after this game. Ouch. Longshore out for the season with a broken ankle; Booya can’t throw a pass to save his life; and the third stringer wasn’t doing much better. And the fact that Sac State didn’t get a touchdown doesn’t say much; my high school football team could prevent that. All in all, a rough game for Cal.

Paul, Paul, Paul. Why do you trust those liberal news outlets?
See my soon to be posted post about the team’s performance. But to be brief, there is room for hope. And no, there ranking will not drop. If anything, they’ll go up a spot or two from the fallouts from above who got upset. As I said, more comments to follow.
