Comments on: Ouch! Arizona 24, Cal 20 https://thecrawfordfamily.net/blog/?p=296 My personal/Catholic blog Sat, 08 Oct 2011 01:31:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.0.38 By: Ken Crawford https://thecrawfordfamily.net/blog/?p=296#comment-342 Sun, 12 Nov 2006 08:29:31 +0000 /blog/?p=296#comment-342 Don’t be so negative about the defense. They only gave up 247 yards and only 58 on the ground. Only 14 of the points they gave up weren’t directly given to them by the interceptions and only 7 were given up if you don’t count the bogus penalty-that-negates-interceptions calls – TWICE. I’m pretty happy with the defense.

Particularly since USC’s game revolves around their rushing offense and the Cal defense has continued to be very strong in that regard, I still think Cal will matchup well against USC. The USC I saw tonight against Oregon still looks very beatable.

The biggest concern is Longshore. Can he get his rythm back and learn to pass into 7 man coverage? That’s what will be the diference maker against USC.

But trust me, although I can’t guarantee a win, I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed you went. It’ll be a good game.

Losing like this a week before what will be one of the most important games in school history leaves me with a horrible, empty feeling. I fear for what will happen next week. I have tickets for it and now I wish I didn’t. It could get ugly, I’m taking losing by 20 or 30 ugly. Longshore’s horrible play on the road, Dunbar’s suspect play calling, and our getting-worse-by-the-week D could spell utter doom for the Bears. You would think that after 30 + years of being a Cal fan I would learn not to get my hopes up.

Ugh.

Thanks for providing a place to rant. My poor wife is already getting sick of it.
