Dominate....almost. Clearly on defense Cal was dominate and had contribution from players that have been quite this year: Hicks & Goode. Also, Cal had younger players playing well: Paster & Patu among others. Offense, on the other hand, wasn't all that great in the second half and that lack of consistency continues to be an issue. For the remaining games, Cal has to create a consistent offense for any hope of additional wins.
Cal fans were, "well it's just Buffalo". But Cal for the most part did what it's suppose to do against teams like the Buffs. That's encouraging and something to build on.
Two completely different styles. Bimage plays with pure power and nasty ~ Cal needs more players like this. Goode plays technique and control, he's consistent but rarely disruptive. More importantly Bimage's play has allowed fans to completely forget about Deng ~ after all it is Deng that Bimage replaced. So, I would say that Bimage has given the position more production than Deng did, albeit Deng has a small sample size at the OLB position. Should Deng return next year ~ highly likely ~ the comparison will be Bimage v Deng and can Deng be as productive and disruptive as Bimage. TBD.
Go Bears. Next Saturday's task will be a more difficult as OSU continues to win and put up a lot of points, gashing Utah's defense for 42 in a 42-34 win.

OSU will thus come in over confident and be easy pickings for out awakened Bears.
It would be nice to play spoiler to OSU for a change.
Mistakes have cost them a W each of the past 2 seasons...OSU better this year - even if Bears limit the mistakes, it's gonna be tough.
Another 2nd half disappearing act by the O won't get it done....
Yes, may they have their own Riley moment.
Yep!!! I am looking at the world through blue-and-gold glasses.
That's a dangerous way to look at the world, golden! ;-).
Calling anything by Banner Society a "study" might be giving them a bit too much credit, but it's certainly a reasonable examination
