	Bears stay golden by outlasting Ducks A late-game replay is, once again, the object of interest on Saturday by Jacob May Cal-Oregon Slideshow Cal hands the Ducks football team their first loss of the season with a score of 31-24.
	All eyes fixed on him, Jackson has big day Cal's junior speedster frustrates Jairus Byrd and Walter Thurmund III to the tune of 161 yards on 11 catches by Kevin Hudson Leading up to Oregon's showdown with California Saturday, many college football analysts who were picking the Bears to win were doing so based on a big day for Cal junior wide receiver/punt returner DeSean Jackson. And while the directional punting of Oregon punter Josh Syria kept Jackson quiet in the return game, he torched the Duck defense for 161 yards and two touchdowns on 11 catches.
	Dropping the ball... in more ways than one In my opinion \| Chin Music by Jacob May Of course there's reason to despair from Saturday's loss. Two interceptions, a game-ending fumble and missed opportunities throughout the contest would give any fan reason to mope about Oregon's prospects for the rest of the season. It was all too similar to last year's game when Oregon was the 11th-ranked team in the nation and four turnovers were the main reason the Ducks lost.
