BERKELEY — Cameron Morrah isn't living a masquerade. He can't help how people perceive him as a football player. He knows who he is on the gridiron, even if others projected him differently.   His biography in the Cal media guide reads like a misprint.

Then why is Cal playing him at tight end, and talking about him as if he's the Second Coming of John Mackey, not Lawrence Taylor?  "My first (recruiting) tapes from my junior year were all on defense," he said, "because we didn't really throw the ball a lot, and I was playing wide receiver then."
