Cal-Minnesota Preview

OK, Cal, we'll give you another chance after a woeful performance in Knoxville. The Bears defense suddenly watching Erik Ainge morph into Peyton Manning and leaving their cornerbacks looking like their cleats were tied together was one thing. If Minnesota's Brian Cupito, whose most reliable plays are the handoff and the pitch play, does the same thing, you've got issues.

However, the Bears have problems on offense too. Yes, Lynch only had 74 yards rushing against Tennessee, but that was because they were throwing, trying desperately to catch up.

They must get the QB situation straightened out. I haven't been that high on Cal all year, because of the QB thing. Unless they get it straightened out it'll be a long season. Fortunately, Minnesota isn't that great so I'll take the Bears.
