SF Chronicle: In pasting Oregon State, Cal scores 40-plus for 4th straight time

Offense keeps up the heat

Rusty Simmons, Chronicle Staff Writer

Cal's Lavelle Hawkins chose to have his locker right next to quarterback Nate Longshore, and the junior receiver uses that proximity to constantly lobby for the football.   "I talk to Nate every day, and I tell him that I'm always open," Hawkins said. "Whenever he feels pressure, he should look my way."  Longshore looked Hawkins' way quite a bit Saturday, and the duo connected on six passes for 128 yards and a 39-yard touchdown as the Bears dominated Oregon State 41-13 in front of 39,309 fans at Reser Stadium.   Longshore can seemingly pick and choose his targets at this point. He has responded from a poor performance in the season-opening loss at Tennessee by completing 77-of-110 passes for 1,116 yards and 14 touchdowns during a four-game winning streak by No. 20 Cal (4-1, 2-0 Pac-10).
