Our rivals over at SB Nation’s California Golden Blogs has aninteresting pieceabout coach Sonny Dykes’ response to the question regarding Cal’s inept defense this season.
SF Gate’s primary Cal beat writer Hunter Hewitt wrotethis article, where he kind of makes it seem as if Kenny Guiton had this amazing game against Cal this weekend. I will reiterate, Cal lost, but Ohio State (after the first six minutes of play) really looked beatable. Cal’s inexperience, rash of injuries and tough breaks really made the game look like more of a blow out than it was. By the way,if you’re the fourth ranked team in the nation, as Ohio State is, you should allow a freshman quarterback to hang 34 points on your defense. You also shouldn’t let a team that should have lost to FCS mid-tier Portland State out play you for chunks of the game. Sorry, that’s fact.
Also, SF Gate featuredthis gemby Al Saracevic. Genius writing. No sarcasm.

The Contra Costa Times Jeff Faraudolet me knowthat Jared Goff won the Pac-12 freshman of the week award. Monte Poole saysCal must fix their defense, Faraudo saidsomething similar. Not to toot my own horn, butI said that a week ago.

A couple of news and notes around the Pac-12:
A great week for the Pac-12. Oregon proves they havea faster team than Tennesseedoes. Can we get a mercy rule in Oregon games going forward? Starting in week 5, when the Ducks rip the Golden Bears?…UCLA is thereal deal. That second half in Nebraska this weekend must prove that to any doubter…PS Nebraska’s tribute to Nick Pasquale wasfirst class…Oh yeah, USC won a game against a bad team andcelebrated on twitter. Yay! I guess.
