Seattle Times: California at Stanford

So Cal is so desperate at quarterback, it's starting an ESPN anchor in the Big Game against Stanford?  No, not that Steve Levy. But some would argue that it's a measure of Cal's plight that it's starting its own Steve Levy. He played fullback and special teams last year and has thrown only 14 career passes, 11 this year as the backup to Joe Ayoob. On Thursday, Cal (6-4) announced in a news release Levy would make his first start over the struggling Ayoob. After practice, coach Jeff Tedford said Levy "most likely" would start, indicating that Ayoob would also play. Meanwhile, Stanford (5-4) hopes to become bowl eligible behind quarterback Trent Edwards. With a sore thumb on his left (non-throwing) hand, he has thrown while not taking snaps to try to avoid aggravating the injury.
