Hey HawaiiVol, are there a lot of UofO fans on the islands? I know quite a few people that have come over for college down in Eugene.

I've seen my fair share of Oregon apparel around town. Obviously not a ton, but they are out here.

ESPN called the Cal defense stout after giving up ~500 yds

It was more the plays we made--4 turnovers forced in the 4th quarter, rather than anything in terms of yardage. Welcome to the world of "bend not break" defense. Heartpounding, but stout today. Go BEARS!

surely you don't think the UC Berkeley defense is stout...

the only thing saving UCB today was Oregon itself

Agreed. No team is simply good enough to force four turnovers. Admittedly, the tipped pass was an extremely good play, but at least the goal line one was a mistake for sure on UofO's part.

I'll give em the tipped pass one.

Fumbled KO, Dixon's pass right into the LB's hands and Colvin not wrapping the ball up was hardly defensive genius.

ultimately, yards are meaningless. a team averaging 50 points a game was held to 24 points. and cal was without its most explosive LB and DE (and offensively, FB)

and as far as it being a lucky win. oregon had just as many lucky breaks. a cal FG that was in but called no good, cal giving up a sack (the one and only) to lose FG range after a muffed punt, longshore hurt and out for one series so cal just ran and punted, and a stupid penalty giving oregon the only td of the first half.

The FG attempt went over top of the goalpost, it was called correctly.

Longshore getting sacked is luck? You must be a UC Berkeley fan to think that.

Longshore is the only QB on UCB's entire roster that can throw the ball?

I'll concede your "stupid penalty" since I didn't see it, but judging from your other revelations, not sure about that.

i actually missed it, but even blatant homer fouts was calling it a bad call and a FG.

all defense is luck in the pac10 right? no, fair point.

the backup is a true freshman with no experience. a key player on the opposing team going down isnt luck? (no player would refer to it that way, but ultimately thats what it is...)

questionable call, but either way a lucky break for oregon.

my point was just: tons of missed opportunities and mistakes for both teams, oregons were bigger ultimately.

herbstreit has usc 1, cal 3, and oregon 5.... the polls wont agree but still.

I've seen so many wrong calls by the announcers, I've lost count. I wouldn't trust anything they said without seeing it myself.

A sack is a sack, no matter who it is. I'd only call it luck if the QB tripped on the turf.

I could refer you to Tebow here. Cal is screwed if Longshore goes down and the backup can't throw. Forsett isn't that good to win a game on his own.

Like I hinted at before, Oregon can't blame anyone for this loss but themselves.

the backup is very talented and was the top recruit out of oregon i believe (ironically if so?), just lacking experience. btw nate's xray came back fine, and cal has a bye next week.

but if oregon HAD won, cal could have said the same. so.. pointless.

They'll be top-10 because so many teams lost today, and it WAS a close game... And the vast majority of the east coast probably didn't see the game, looked at the box score and simply assume UofO was good enough to hang.

Usually what happens with Pac-10's rankings.

No, they won't.

Six of the ten teams ranked ahead of UofO all looked worse than the Ducks this weekend. Oklahoma got dropped by Colorado who has been pitiful the last couple years. Florida just lost to Auburn, a team with one of the most inept offenses in the SEC. West Virginia's supposedly superb offense just got smacked by South Florida. Texas just got hammered by K-freakin'-State at home. Wisconsin has looked shakey all year, and Rutgers lost by 10 at home to Maryland. Oregon lost a close game at home to a team who could very well be one of the top 4-5 in the nation.

And they don't get top 10 how?

Normally I'm with you, you can't lose and then get top-10. But you have to consider what the teams ranked above them have done and did this weekend.
