UC Berkeley continued spring football workouts Saturday with a scrimmage that included a series of situational settings for nearly 70 plays at Memorial Stadium. The Golden Bears — who beat Miami 24-17 in the Emerald Bowl in December at AT&T Park in San Francisco to finish 9-4 — practiced with a long field and a short field during the 80-minute scrimmage. They also worked on goal line situations, special teams, and scoring opportunities in a close game with less than a minute to go on the clock.
“It’s always bittersweet,” head coach Jeff Tedford said on the Cal athletic Web site. “When the offense does something well, you’re worrying about the defense. When the defense does something well, you're worrying about the offense. “There were a lot of great efforts. When we have that, we’re going to continue to improve.” Cal opens the 2009 season at home against Maryland on Sept. 5 and will play a total of six games in Memorial Stadium. Other home games are against USC, Eastern Washington, Washington State, Oregon State and Arizona. The Bears were ranked No. 25 in the final USA Today coaches poll last year.
