9/19 Based on Cal's 35-18 loss against a good-but-not-great Tennessee
team, 42-17 victory at home against a below average Big 10 team in
Minnesota, and Cal's 42-16 victory at home against a lowly Division
I-AA team in Portland State, what do you think Cal's regular season
football record will be this year?
10-2 (additional loss to 1 of USC & Oregon)
9-3 (additional losses to USC & Oregon)
8-4 (additional losses to USC, Oregon, & 1 of UCLA/ASU/OSU/UA/WSU)
7-5 (additional losses to USC, Oregon, & 2 of UCLA/ASU/OSU/UA/WSU)
6-6 (additional losses to USC, Oregon, $ 3 of UCLA/ASU/OSU/UA/WSU)
I vote for 8-4. We will lose badly to USC, and Tedford always has
trouble vs. Oregon. This Cal team has enough question marks that we
will probably get upset on the road at either Oregon State, Arizona,
or Washington State. UCLA and ASU are overrated and Cal will likely
beat both at home. Going 4-1 against that group of 5 teams will be
a good achievement for this group. A 6-3 Pac 10 record probably puts
us in the Sun Bowl in El Paso as the 3rd place Pac 10 team after USC
(Rose Bowl) and Oregon (Holiday Bowl). UCLA and ASU will probably
end up at the Las Vegas Bowl and Emerald Bowl by finishing in 4th and
5th.
\_ I vote for 7-5 and a return trip to Las Vegas. Too many weaknesses
on the offensive line and secondary. Syd'Quan Thompson is going to
cost us at least 1 more game.
\_ LAS VEGAS BABY! -ausman
\_ You guys are optimists. 6-6 is probably realistic. Nate Longshore
is not the answer at QB, no matter how many stats he runs up
against D-IAA opponents.
\_ Longshore is better than Steve Levy, who won three games
including a bowl game in 2005. We'll know more about how good
the team is after this weekend. -tom
\_ Why is everyone forgetting Kyle Reed in the QB discussion?
\_ Because the coaching staff, which sees all the QBs all
the time, hasn't said anything to indicate he's even
being considered for the starting job. -tom |
