Re: The Career of Bryan Dodge (NCAA11)
Week 4
#18 (3-0)
@ (0-1) 
GAME PREVIEW
Cal started the year ranked #28 in the nation. Afte Week 1/2 Byes, the Bears moved into the Top-25 at #24, but a Week 3 loss to Nevada caused them to fall back out of the Top-25 before their matchup with WSU.
Cal hasn't had alot of success over the past 3 years against WSU or even the nation in that matter, as Coach Dodge has a perfect 3-0 record against them, however that hasn't stopped Coach Jeff Tedford from bring in talent.
WSU is off to their best start in school history at 3-0 with a huge win over #4 Oregon last week. RB Donte Williams however will miss his 3rd straight game, leaving us to believe that the Cougars will go to the air and go often, as they have the #1 Total Offense and #1 Passing Offense in the nation behing the play of QB C. Halliday and WR M. Wilson.
GAME RECAP
JR Paul Smith would get the start at Tailback this week, but it was RS FR Ian Jefferson who would start things going rushing 28 yds to score the opening TD (his 4th of the year) to put WSU up 7-0.
Both teams would fail to move the ball until late in the 2nd Quarter, but again it was WSU who would get on the scoreboard 1st as C. Halliday hit's B. Ratliff on a 38 yd score (14-0), Cal would answer back though scoring on a 25 yd pass from D. Brown to T. Smith (14-7). WSU would get the ball back with 1:41 to play and with 18 seconds to play RB P. Smith would run in from 2yds out to give WSU the 21-7 lead going into the half.
The 3rd Quarter would belong to Cal and their star WR/KR T. Carter. Carter would score from 14 yds out and then after a C. Halliday INT, score on a 80 yd bomb to tie the game (21-21) WSU however would stick to the ground game as P. Smith dives in from 1 yd out to score his 2nd TD of the game making it (28-21) going into the 4th.
Turnovers would plague the Bears in the 4th, as they fumbled the ball 3 times (recovered 1 though) and Brown would throw his 2nd INT of the game, as the Cougars "D" would dominate. Halliday would find TE C. Jackson on a 16 yd TD score and R. Parrish would connect on a 33 yd FG as the Cougars picked up their 4th straight win!!!.

"I am very happy with how we played today. Obviously it's hard to replace a RB like Donte Williams, but the combo of Smith/Jefferson played well enough to get us 100+ yds on the ground, which kept the ball out of Cal's hands. Halliday and Wilson continue to show they are a dynamic duo and the Defense is showing signs of huge growth."
