BERKELEY — How well did Cal's defense play Saturday afternoon against Arizona State? Nate Longshore replaced Kevin Riley as the team's starting quarterback and it still wasn't the prevailing storyline.
The Bears' defense continues to flourish in its new 3-4 scheme. It dominated the Sun Devils, holding them to 236 yards while forcing three turnovers in a 24-14 victory in front of 58,302 at Memorial Stadium.
"I love watching our defense. They're on fire right now," said Longshore, who had a generally positive return to the starting lineup with 198 yards passing and three touchdowns. "They won the game today. They came up with some big plays and provided us with some opportunities. I don't even like defense, and I like watching these guys."
Cal (4-1, 2-0 Pac-10) is emerging as one of the top defenses in the conference. The Bears entered Saturday ranked third in both scoring defense and total defense. Their defensive front put consistent pressure on Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter, sacking him three times and forcing him to throw several other passes on the run. Carpenter was just 20-for-35 for 165 yards and a touchdown. He was intercepted by Cal's Chris Conte and Sean Cattouse...MORE

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

By
Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
