One FBS win, and the Cal football team is reaping the awards. Kameron Jackson was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week. The sophomore cornerback, playing heavy minutes due to a first half injury to starter Marc Anthony, made the most of his opportunity and caught three interceptions in the Read More…
Well, look who’s Zach On Zach Maynard’s first pass attempt of Saturday’s win, he threw to a double-teamed Keenan Allen and was picked off. It seemed like it would be a long night for the Bears against a ranked UCLA squad. “I should have just thrown out of bounds,” Maynard Read More…
The ground, Cal The ground is a critical element of Saturday’s game for the Bears. Quarterback Zach Maynard has spent a lot of time there the past few weeks. With a porous offensive line, Maynard has been sacked 22 times the last three games. He’s also been inaccurate, missing on Read More…
So, Cal is now 1-4 on the season (0-2 in the Pac-12) after losing a game that it desperately needed to win. But here’s the catch: did you see the way that team played on Saturday against Arizona State? Sure, Cal needed the win, but with a performance like that Read More…
Brendan Bigelow, Cal running back Brendan Bigelow is going to touch the ball against Arizona State, it’s just a question of how many times. The sophomore had an electrifying performance against Ohio State (two touchdowns and 160 yards on four rushes). Bigelow was supposed to be the future, but he Read More…
On Saturday against USC, quarterback Zach Maynard reverted back into his old, mediocre form.

Think of it like finding $20 in a trash heap. Yeah, the loss to Ohio State sucked. After a mediocre start, the Bears absolutely eviscerated the Buckeyes in the third quarter. One field goal attempt with two minutes left and Cal could have taken the lead. Although the result was Read More…
Tedford lets the clock wind down to 4:25. He calls a timeout and out trots D’Amato. “At that point in the game, you’re there to go ahead,” Tedford said. “When it’s 28-28 on the scoreboard and there are four minutes left to play, we are going to go for (the field goal). We wanted to put some points on the board.” Read More…
So here’s the deal: Zach Maynard is not a terrible quarterback. He is certainly not a Joe Ayoob or Nate Longshore, and for that the Cal faithful won’t call for his head. However, he’s never going to be Aaron Rodgers. Hate to break it to you, Zach. But all dreams Read More…
Isi Sofele, Cal running back A 1,300-yard rusher the season before and a presumed competitor for the best back in the conference, Isi Sofele failed to make a dent on last Saturday’s game against Nevada. Sofele only secured five carries all game, as the Cal offense was playing catch-up from Read More…
