Trust us. After Cal’s first series where the Bears went three-and-out on the Qualcomm Stadium turf in San Diego, we were worried too.
Worried that the demons of “Holiday Bowl’s past would haunt”:http://calbears.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/recaps/123104aab.html Cal again and that Pac-10 football would once again be embarrassed by another Texas school.
But the Bears showed Texas A&M that it “could mess with Texas”:http://www.dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=22584 (and stop the mammoth of a running back Jorvorskie Lane. How a running back can be 274 pounds is besides us. A running back shouldn’t be eating as much or more than the offensive linemen that block for him.)
A 45-10 victory, not too shabby for a team that most thought would be on the other end of a lopsided defeat. ::Cough:: Mark May, ESPN Analyst and resident Cal hater ::Cough::
It was also a great way to finish the season with a resounding roar and jumped the Bears all the way to No. 14 in the final polls.
And gasps! Did Jeff Tedford really go for it on fourth down?! It was a little miracle that led to a Nate Longshore pass to Lavelle Hawkins for a four-yard touchdown.
And yes, after winning Offensive Player of the Game, Marshawn Lynch did what he does best: get into a cart and ghost-ride the whip. This time, he’s joined by teammate and cousin Robert Jordan.
But it was DeSean Jackson who stole the show again, but not by his play on the field, but by “opening his big mouth”:http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/college_football/20061229-9999-1s29hbside.html.
Okay D-Jax, you’ve guaranteed the Bears’ faithful a national title. We’ll all be expecting it next fall.
