Cal Off To Good Start
1-0 baby!
Got home after volunteering at the Okinawan Festival and watched the Cal-Michigan State game on DVR. I was curious how Cal was gonna be this year, especially on offense after losing RB Justin Forsett and also WR DeSean Jackson. The QB situation was also in question as incumbent Nate Longshore was benched in favor of the sophomore Kevin Riley, the guy who may have cost Cal a shot at being #1 last year when he was tackled in an attempt to run into the end zone with no time left against Oregon State.
But I gotta say, Cal looked great! New RB Jahvid Best looked awesome in bits and pieces last year backing up Forsett and was asked to carry the load this time. He was very successful, carrying over 20 times for 111 yards. This guy is blazing fast and it will be interesting if he can handle the load. If he can, watch out. His backup FR Shane Vereen also pulled off a 81 yard TD so they look ready at RB.
QB Kevin Riley played a great steady game, and didn't turn it over like Nate Longshore did who threw picks in both of his possessions. Yeah, let's just leave him on the bench.
Cal's D was okay, but can still improve. But they did well overall.
Next up, a road game at Washington State!

I watched some of this game. Brah, what happened to Longshore? He was supposed to be one of the great ones at Cal. Riley all the way. Best is scary fast.
Good luck to your Bears this year.
I also watched USC play Virginia and they look awesome. Their defense is sinister.
Ha! I was at the Okinawa festival on Saturday. Where were you volunteering at? We left Hawaii on Sunday with suntans and overall good times!
I was at the HQ, unloading delivery trucks and loading up the delivery golf carts. Was there for just 5 hrs this year, 8-1.
Glad you had a good time while you were here!
