Do the Beavers have a chance against the Bears?

How do the Beavers win this game? Well, we have to follow the same plan as the last two wins at Memorial Stadium. Ball Control on offense, force some turnovers, and not turnover the ball.


Here's what I like going in to the game:

* Nate Longshore has a gimpy ankle. Thus, he's less mobile. Thus, we should get some sacks. Enough sacks, and we may see a UCLA vs. ND situation in our favor.

* Our run D. I think that we will prevent rushing yards and force them to pass. See above.

* Nobody expects us to win.


What I don't like:

* No Keenan Lewis. Tim Clark looks fast enough and seems to tackle well, but he's not making plays on the ball which means he could get burned in this game.

* They're playing well and may actually be the second best team in the nation.

* DeSean Jackson

* A let down is less likely after Stanford beat USC last weekend


I'm hoping to be surprised, but I'm expecting to see how good Cal really is as well. Go Beavs!
