Comments on: Bears game wrapup https://thecrawfordfamily.net/blog/?p=225 My personal/Catholic blog Sat, 08 Oct 2011 01:31:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.0.38 By: Michael https://thecrawfordfamily.net/blog/?p=225#comment-235 Thu, 21 Sep 2006 01:18:46 +0000 /blog/?p=225#comment-235 I’m a bit less confident than you Ken, for these reasons. Longshore was great the last two games, but that was due to the opponent having no appreciable pass rush. Tenn had a great pass rush and Longhore was terrible. ASU supposedly has a great pass rush, in fact, I think they are something like top 10 in the nation in sacks (no source to back that up, sorry).

Syd Quon is also a question mark, and Rudy Carpenter will be throwing the ball his way all day. It may backfire into some INT’s, but SQT needs to step up. I miss Mixon BAD.

Finanlly, Tedford has been rediculously conservative lately. I would really like to see some trick plays, a flea flicker, something creative that will stun the ASU defense. This is a must win game, and any trick plays we use can be recycled for USC if necessary because they will be forgotten by then. If we lose this game, nothing will redeem us, and we will be mid-level in the Pac-10 and probably go to Vegas or the Emerald Bowl (if we can’t beat ASU, then Oregon and UCLA will be all over us).

Finally, I have a personal reason to be worried. I’m taking a friend on Sat and this will be her first college football game ever, and her first Cal experience. A win, the stadium rocking, the canon going off alot and the band playing througout would make a much better experience than, well, not having all those things.

Still, God willing the Bears will triumph.

But for now let’s just say that I think Cal is more competitive that many give them credit for and that ASU has a soft spot for Cal, particulary in Berkeley. I’m confident that Cal should win this game… whether they do will come down to their own execution not ASU’s.
