Cal passed like a Duck, tackled like a Duck and even dressed like a Duck – and the Golden Bears did it all much better than Oregon. DeSean Jackson caught one of Nate Longshore's three touchdown passes and returned a punt 65 yards for another score, leading No. 16 Cal to a 45-24 victory over the 11th-ranked Ducks last night in Berkeley. The Bears (5-1, 3-0 Pac-10) took control almost from the moment they ran out of the Memorial Stadium tunnel wearing new, garishly gold jerseys. The surprising shirts looked like something the fashion-forward Ducks (4-1, 2-1) would wear – but the Bears backed up that bold color with another series of big plays in their fifth consecutive blowout victory. These West Coast powers have similarities ranging from their intertwined coaching staffs to their high-octane offenses, but Cal coach Jeff Tedford easily landed his second victory over former mentor Mike Bellotti in front of a raucous sellout crowd. Justin Forsett ran for 163 yards and a touchdown in place of injured Marshawn Lynch for the Bears.
