Green Runs Over Wildcats

(#1 7-0) California 91 - (3-4) Arizona 0

BERKELEY -
The Golden Bears returned to Berkeley this week to host Arizona, who are in a serious tailspin. The Wildcats have dropped 3 in a row, and Cal is riding a 30 game winning streak. Who knows how this game could turn out.

Cal's offense has been excellent, but nobody could have seen this coming. A combination of Arizona getting a serious case of turnoveritis and being unable to defend anyone let Cal hang 91 points on the hapless wildcats. QB Kyle Boehm had a career day and went 16/17 for 379 yards and 7TD. Arizona couldn't cover WR Mike Brown (141 yards and 2TD), but they really couldn't handle HB Darrell Green. Green exploded on Arizona for a school record 416 rushing yards on 24 carries. If that wasn't bad enough Green caught 4 passes for 105 yards and 3TD. Green may have won himself the Heisman today, and highlights will be all over ESPN for the next two months.

Apparently this isn't a safety.

The reason Cal managed to score 91 was Arizona's freshman QB Mike Cook. Cook had an epic day, going 4/23 for 44 yards and a whopping 7INT.Cook completed nearly as many passes to CB Terrence Miller (3) as he did his own team, Miller managed to set a school record for career INT (19) by the time this game was over. Cook can thank the officiating for escaping further embarrassment when a clear safety was ruled a sack and the ball was placed on the 1. Arizona seriously needed to get off the field and head home, Cal enjoyed a startling 804-45 advantage in offensive yards. Mike Stoops may just lose his job unless the Wildcats can turn their season around.
