Contra Costa Times: Tedford to name his QB today ... 'probably'

Cal football notebook

BERKELEY -- Cal coach Jeff Tedford said after Monday's practice at Memorial Stadium that the long-awaited announcement regarding the Bears' starting quarterback "probably" will be made at today's media luncheon.  Tedford will pick between senior Joe Ayoob and sophomore Nate Longshore, who missed practice time last week with a inflamed nerve in his back.  Longshore was back at practice Monday and he looked very sharp throwing the ball. "It was very important for us to see him today," Tedford said of Longshore. "Now we want to see if practice has any effect (on his back)."

Tedford said Longshore had a very impressive camp throwing the football until his back started to bother him.  During Monday's workout, Longshore and Ayoob took turns working with the first team. Tedford said Ayoob played very well last Tuesday during a scrimmage that was closed to the media.
