Contra Costa Times: BearTalk: Cal football reflects, looks ahead

One of the prevalent themes coming from the locker room after Saturday's game is that the Bears are much better equipped to handle this setback than they were last season. Zack Follett and Worrell Williams, among others, stressed that the Bears won't let the loss simmer.

There are a couple of reasons to believe the Bears. No. 1, they have a bye week. Yes, on the one hand, they probably would like to get back on the field as soon as possible to get back on track. But on the other hand, it will probably be a good break for Cal, to get healthy and get their minds right.

Coach Jeff Tedford said after the game that he is very confident the team has the leadership necessary to bounce back from Saturday's loss. Of course, it helps to bounce back when the next game is a home contest against lowly Colorado State. The Bears should be ready to roll against the Rams, who will probably be outmanned and face a very motivated Cal team.
