I caught Tedford on Comcast SportsNet's Chronicle Live show Wednesday night. The show had Greg Papa, Joe Morgan, and Rusty Simmons on the panel grilling Tedford about the Cal football program and what to expect this coming season. For the most part, if you've been keeping up with the Bears, there wasn't anything earth-shattering about the interview.
At this stage of the year, it's difficult to take everything that a coach says about his team at face value. Whether he's telling you everything you want to hear, sending a message to his players, or sticking with the company line, it's difficult to know that you are getting a true 'inside' story. The one telling part of the interview was concerning the quarterback competition. Ideally, Kevin Riley is ready to take control of the offense and play on the level worthy of national stardom. With USC looking to start the season with an inexperienced quarterback, Tedford is given a rare opportunity to do the same without it becoming a major disadvantage when the two teams play October 3rd.
