The Golden Bears will miss senior wide receiver Geoff
McArthur for their final game due to a broken fibula he

57 from this season. McArthur is third in the Pac-10 with
5.18 receptions per game. The Los Angeles native scored
seven touchdowns and collected a total of 862 yards
through the air this season.
“I’m happy for those guys,” Tedford said of his seniors.
“They've worked very hard and provided such fine leadership
for this team. It's nice for those players to get recognition as
being some of the top performers in the conference. ”
As a team, Cal leads the conference in scoring offense
(37.3 points per game), rushing offense (260 yards), and to
tal offense (494.7 yards). The Bears’ pass offense has been
mediocre, averaging 234.7 yards per game.

airborne strategy, as it owns the nation’s best pass offense,
which averages 388.7 yards per game. Senior quarterback Son
ny Cumbie leads the nation in passing with 4,222 yards.
The Red Raiders have outscored opponents 389-283 and

the Big 12 and sixth nationally in total offense with 483.5
yards per game. Their second-ranked scoring offense, at 35.4
points per game, trails only Oklahoma (36.1).

in receptions per game with 6.27, while teammate Jarrett
Hicks was second averaging 6.09. Hicks, a sophomore,

swered hopes of a trip to the national
title game.
“It was a big win...we got the
whole season done in the fashion
that we wanted to,” Carroll said. “It
is an interesting way to go about a
football season.”
When asked how his Ttojans will
continue to keep focused having lost
only one game in the last two seasons,
Carroll said they will keep “going
about our business like we always do. ”
“Our players expected to be in this
situation, and they’ve dealt with it re
ally well,” he said. “We’re not going
to change our focus or anything that
we do at this point. By no means do
we feel that our season is over or op
portunities or challenges are over yet.
This is a fantastic matchup in the Or
ange Bowl with Oklahoma.”
