Dykes’ dubious decisions

After a loss that was labeled a surefire win by many, there were a lot of questions that needed to be answered by the Cal football team. Far and away the most confusing thing to see in the Bears’ 47-44 loss to Oregon State was an embarrassing showing by Cal’s usually explosive passing game.

Although the Bears put up 44 points Saturday, quarterback Davis Webb completed just 23 of his 44 passes for 113 yards and an interception. That translates to just more than 2 1/2 yards per attempt. Yikes.

What was the most disappointing passing performance in the Sonny Dykes era may have been the result of an injury Webb suffered early in the game.
