Eliminate Mistakes
?
With a talented but young quarterback at the helm, Cal has and will continue to go through some ups and downs. They will need more ups than downs on Saturday if they hope to end the Ducks' four-game win streak in the series.
Cal needs to stay focused and remain disciplined in order to keep penalties and other unforced errors to a minimum. The Ducks did nothing to eliminate their addiction to penalties against Tennessee and if the right team stays disciplined and takes advantage of the extra opportunities Oregon gives them, it could wind up derailing the Ducks' BCS title dreams.?
Whether or not that team is Cal will depend on everything else the Bears do on Saturday. Mistakes will happen but if a team eliminates the ones they can control, things will be much easier. Goff's two tipped interceptions against Northwestern wound up being the difference in the ballgame. If the Bears can catch the ball when it hits their hands and keep away from costly mental errors, they could put a scare into the Ducks early in the game.?

Create Turnovers and Capitalize on Them
?
The Ducks have forced seven turnovers through three games while not turning the ball over once. Cal has thrown four interceptions, two of which were taken the other way for six.
Cal has an equal number of turnovers lost and gained through three games, which has done nothing to help them overcome their porous defense. They have a tough group up front and good athletes in the back seven that possess the ability to make plays capable of changing the game.
If the Bears hope to hang with the Ducks beyond the first half, they will likely need to force Oregon into some mistakes and then capitalize on them once they get the ball. Cal's offense can hang with anyone but their defense doesn't allow that to happen. The defense has a talented group but injuries and inconsistency have been a killer.
