However, I'm feeling fairly confident that Texas can establish it's run game early against Cal. I admittedly picked Notre Dame to win and thought UTEP would put 24 up on Texas last week. I think overall I've been the most pessimistic predictor of the bunch. Texas 48, Cal 27 Jack Keyes - staff writer That's only going to allow Shane Buechele to become a game manager and drop in a few of his perfectly placed sideline bombs throughout the night as Cal stacks everyone (The coach? A few fans? The mascot?) into the box to slow the run. Texas' rushing attack is going to beat Cal's horrible rush defense to a pulp with the offense line opening holes you could fit an 18-wheeler through. I'm fully aware of how dangerous Cal's 'Bear Raid' offense has been through the first two weeks, but I also think the defense - front seven and secondary - that Cal will see against Texas is going to be leaps and bounds beyond what the Bears have seen so far this season. I feel like this is game may not end up being as close as some may expect. Our friends at California Golden Blogs don't think that Cal can score with Texas and I agree. The awful run defense for the Golden Bears against an offense that should return six starters? That looks much more likely to be a deciding factor in the game. Predictions Wescott Eberts - editorДЇrom the Texas standpoint, the Bear Raid passing attack led by Davis Webb and Chad Hansen is cause for concern, but not many teams have the amount of secondary depth as the Longhorns, so that won't be the deciding factor in the game.

ItвЂ™s that time again for the Burnt Orange Nation staff predictions as the Texas Longhorns travel to Berkeley to take on the California Golden Bears on Saturday night.
