That last game with the Oregon Ducks last Friday was an interesting one to say the least for the Cal Bears and the Bears won that one with the only turnover in the entire game. The Bears set all manor of NCAA records most players run in a game, they set a school record for the most first downs (41), their two leading rushers combined for over 300 yards one was 152 the other 148. The team rushed for over 300 yards and it was a question would anyone blink. Would any defense make a play at any point in the game?

Wide receiver Chad Hansen was not in this offensive scoring fest and did not warm up and did not play for Cal so quarterback Webb David had to work with his other receivers he didn’t seem to blush at making the effort. Davis threw for nearly 300 yards. The scheme they use in the Bear Raid allows receivers to spread the field so much that as long as you got somebody whose like Webb whose a senior and has run the offense for years their going to be able to find the open man.
