Cal most certainly does NOT have better talent at O-Line. Cals line couldn't contain UT's pass rush last year, and this year will be no different. Tennessee's O-Line on the other hand blew Cal's D-Line off the ball. The vols are loaded with 4 star players at O-Line.

Cal most certainly does NOT have better talent at QB. Ainge and Crompton are a better combo than anyone Cal has on their team at that position.

I don't quite understand why you think that Cal has better talent at RB. Foster and Vereen are the lowest rated at three star players. Coker was a five star, Hardesty and Creer were four star players. Cals running game was stuffed by Tennessee's linebackers and D-Line last year.

Cal will have the better, or should I say more proven WR corps this time around, but Tennessee has more raw talent with Vinson, and O Neil being 5 star players, and Jones and Paige being US Army All-Americans.

Cal is just a little less talented than South Carolina, and they would probably fare a little worse in a full season of SEC play than the Gamecocks.

sigh. I'm merle responding to those saying that Tenn has vastly superior talent based on recruiting rankings in particular.

Oline - Mack is a preseason all american on virtually every list. gibson is preseason all pac-10. Tepper was highly recruited.

QB - Cal has 4 elite 11 qbs on the roster, far more than tenn and any other university. By recruiting rankings cal clearly has better overall talent at qb.

RB - Montgomery, Slocum, Best, and Vareen were all high 4 star recruits.

WR - Jackson was one of the most highly recruited players in the country, hawkins was a 4 star by rivals, 5 star by scout.

Cal's recruiting has been far better than South Carolina's over the past 4 years.

Uh no you don't there.Nate longshore isn't better than ainge,might be close but longshore isn't better.Running backs we are deeper and more talented.O-line this is probably a toss up.The only place you have a advantage is receiver.Thats only because of experience,because talent wise they are pretty even,i would say we have more and deeper talent pool there also.

UT clearly has the better top 2 QB's, which are likely the only ones to see the field.

And USC jr will be better than Cal in the near future if Spurrier stays, and I woudln't be surprised if they took down Cal head to head.
