Pac-10 Week 1 Notes and Observations: Cal Bears
Cal Bears 1-0 Overall (0-0 Conference)
This Week’s Score: Cal 52 – Maryland 13
Next Week’s Opponent: Eastern Washington
Sam’s Take:
That was all any Bears fan could ask for out of a season opener. Cal was dominant on both side of the ball against the Terps, and Jahvid Best started his Heisman campaign in style with a big highlight run on national television early in the game (finished with 137 yards, 2 TDs). I really liked what I saw out of Kevin Riley, who seemed completely in control of the offense on his way to 298 yards passing and four touchdowns. It was great to see Marvin Jones flash his playmaking ability, and there should be plenty more of that to come this season as long as he is healthy.
The energy of the defense was exceptional, especially the front seven which sacked Maryland QB Chris Turner six times. If the D continues to play like that, the rest of the Pac-10 will be in trouble. Mychal Kendricks came up big with 12 tackles, and I also came away impressed with Ernest Owusu (two sacks). It was fun to watch Syd’Quan Thompson shut down his side of the field after Maryland went after him early, and I will be curious to see if any other teams dare to challenge him.
Overall, Cal looked spectacular in their redemption game and will now have a warm-up (Eastern Washington) before taking their show on the road to Minnesota.
Dave’s Take:
California did exactly what I expected them to do; exact their revenge in dominate fashion.
Jahvid Best is obviously going to be the national story with 137 yards on 10 carries for two touchdowns (was three carries, 80 yards, two touchdowns), and he deserves it after last year’s disappointing trip to Maryland.
But Kevin Riley’s four touchdown mistake free day and a stellar defensive effort were equally impressive, and through week one the Cal Bears look every bit as good as advertised.
This upcoming week against Eastern Washington will produce similar gaudy numbers all around, and then the real fun begins; @MIN, @ORE, vs. USC.

In the grand design of things you’ll get an A+ with regard to effort. Where you actually confused everybody ended up being in all the details. You know, they say, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be much more correct in this article. Having said that, allow me inform you precisely what did deliver the results. Your text can be pretty engaging and this is possibly the reason why I am making an effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, while I can certainly notice the leaps in reason you make, I am not certain of how you appear to connect your ideas which in turn make your conclusion. For the moment I shall subscribe to your position but trust in the foreseeable future you link the dots much better.

But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
