Hughes would intercept Boller on their final drive to seal the win.Game 4: Cal ‘02 22, Cal ‘05 20In a game the ‘02 Bears had to have, they took control in the second quarter with 16 unanswered points. Tim Mixon would pick off two of Boller’s passes in the second quarter, one of which led to an Ayoob-to-LayRelle Cunningham TD.Mark Christian Jensen would put the Bears ahead with four field goals, one of which gave the ‘02 squad a 19-17 lead during a dominating third quarter. Ayoob’s two interceptions would lead to 10 points for ‘02, and another two sacks would lead to two three-and-outs, which set up the other 10 points for ‘02. Boller would then drive the ‘02 Bears early in the 4th quarter to a Vincent Strang TD, giving them a 33-17 lead.Ayoob would come right back on the next drive, aided by two Cunningham catches that led to the Forsett TD and Craig Stevens 2 point conversion to cut the lead to 8.

Boller would then get intercepted by Daymeion Hughes on the next possession, and aided by a 41 yard Cunningham scamper, would cut the lead to 33-31 on a Lynch run in the red zone. Then it all went to dust thanks to BeastMode.Cal ‘05 responded to 27 unanswered points with 21 of their own (including a devastating Marshawn Lynch run and key catches by LayRelle Cunningham) and took a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. Despite the drama, it was a sloppy offensive game marked by eight turnovers, five by an ‘02 team who had already committed five in Game 1. Marshawn Lynch again left his imprint with two early TDs and another one in the 4th to provide the margin of victory.Boller had one last chance to tie the game late, but a crucial sack by Fahim Abd Allah on the opponent’s 35 stalled the drive and he couldn’t get a throw off on his final two pass attempts.Temp: 70 degrees, no windGame 3: Cal ‘05 38, Cal ‘02 33It looked as if the 2002 squad was going to make it a series.

Ayoob would march the ‘05 team 83 yards for the decisive score, capped off by two throws to the young DeSean Jackson, one in which he shed a defender and marched down to the one yard line.Temp: 55 degrees, medium windGame 2: Cal ‘05 41, Cal ‘02 34After committing five turnovers in Game 1, Cal ‘02 managed to take care of the ball and not lose it once, but they were in constant catchup mode the entire way as they fell behind early and could never overtake their ‘05 counterparts, falling behind 2-0 in the series. Justin Forsett and Lynch each had a TD in the second quarter to put ‘05 up 17-0.Boller’s only good drive of the day ended in a field goal when he overthrew Geoff MacArthur in the end zone His next drive led to a Justin Moye INT. How would Tedford’s inaugural team perform against the impressive Cal 2005 defense and the blossoming Marshawn Lynch?Results are after the jump, but vote in the sidebar and see how your predictions match up with the actual results!Game 1: Cal ‘05 24, Cal ‘02 3Summary: A dominating defensive performance by the ‘05 Bears and strong running by Marshawn Lynch helped give the ‘05 Bears a 1-0 series lead. The ‘05 defense intercepted Kyle Boller four times and sacked him three times, and held the ‘02 Bears to 11 yards of rushing offense and forced an additional fumble that led to the Lynch score. Joe Ayoob would get sacked six times (twice by Lorenzo Alexander and Abu Ma’afala each), but he held onto the ball and turned the ball over only once.

Whilst it?ll be a sad day when Giggs and Scholes hang up their football boots, United?s success will continue, aided by Anderson and Nani.. As we discovered last week, Cal 2003 was no match for the offensive potency of Cal 2007 in the Whatifsports simulator. This team didn’t need much impetus in flatout overpowering its way to a sweep. This led us to our next match in the series, a showdown between the 2002 and 2005 teams. He was impressive and fearless against all his opponents and has created more excitement than any new signing for a while.

He was voted Man of the Match in our trip to Anfield, when United left with 3 points. Before the European Cup final, Anderson had yet to score for us, however came on off the bench for the sole purpose of taking the penalty. He strode up confidently and smacked the ball down the centre.  They both have bags of potential and seem really eager to do well. Whilst the likes of John Terry, Nicolas Anelka and Cristiano Ronaldo messed up, Nani and Anderson  can be extremely proud of the part they had to play in our European Cup success.That aside, Nani scored brilliant goals against Middlesbrough and Spurs, as well as finding the back of the net against Arsenal and Liverpool. There was also his ball juggling routine against Arsenal in the Cup, which left Arsene Wenger ?humiliated?. Aww.Anderson bossed the midfield when we played Arsenal and Liverpool, showing Steven Gerrard and Cesc Fabregas were no match for him. He filled in remarkably for Paul Scholes, meaning we didn?t even miss Scholesy really.
