First off I want to start with Tedford and company being upset that people and the media are bringing up a certain something that happened in last year's match up in Berkeley. Reported on SFGate this morning, there were talks about "Fakegate" and whether or not it will happen again in tomorrows game. I don't think any opposing team's players want to hear what the fans at Autzen have to think about it if they see it will their own eyes. Anyway, you guys at Cal don't need to fake being injured. You can have all the time in the world and we will still burn you.
If you want to read up on the latest injured list, see this link from the good guys over on ATQ.
Prediction:
This being the first PAC-12 game at Autzen, not surprised, the crowd is going to play a huge part in this game. The Ducks will do what they do on offense and should be able to put up some big numbers on the Cal D that hasn't been the greatest vs some other PAC -12 opponents so far this year. As for the running game, Cal did a good job in Berkeley last year so I'm sure LaMike and company want to redeem themselves this time around. The deciding factor will be how Oregon does again Allen (#1 Wide out for Cal) and the rest of their receiving core.
I see the Bears hanging in their through the first quarter and a half with the Ducks cruising to a big lead by the middle of of the third quarter.
Final score:
Oregon 48 Cal 20
Bold prediction: Cliff Harris strikes Cal again with a big first half punt return for a TD!
Go Ducks!!!
I was front and center for that game last year and the fake injuries were dreadful, just dreadful!!
ReplyDeleteI like The Ducks big here.
