Cal names True Freshman as Starting QB.

And now "The Black Bear"

Long ago there was a Sports Illustrated photo of the Cleveland Browns Dog Pound ... I want to say late 80s or early 1990s.

It was an amazing photo with all kinds of characters and faces, and in the middle some guy shoving dog food into his mouth.

Everyone seems to want their version of those spots.

Did they forget they're the California Golden Bears?

Doesn't matter, marketing made their call.

He looked good but Oregon St had one of the worst defenses last year and doesn't appear to be better this season.

We will see what happens when Cal plays VS the Gophers defense that is much more formidable. I'm not worried about this guy as of now.

That kid is a gunslinger. They will throw it 50 times and force us to cover it. Big game for the young boys back there. Ryan Burns said we should have 2-3 more healthy bodies back there by week 3

Chance for Koi Petich and Kerry Brown to shine. If they don’t shine, gulp …

Gophers by 10+

Just looked at the Cal vs Oregon State box score. Impressed by the fact that Cal’s freshman QB completed passes to nine different receivers. Young QBs often don’t distribute that well. I trust our D can rattle the young QB, but also expect this game to be a tough one.

Cal went 2/13 on third down, pretty impressive they managed 34 points with that stat.
