Without a game to analyze this week, I put together a spreadsheet with information (available here) about every Cal game played in the Tedford era and came up with some interesting facts.

• In the team’s 48 wins since 2002, the team has outgained its opponents by an average of 105.9 yards, with a 110.7 average margin in rushing yards, a -4.8(!) yard difference in passing yards, and an average turnover margin of 1.1.
• In the team’s 20 losses since 2002, the team has been outgained on average by -48.9 total offensive yards, with a -36.6 margin in rushing yards and -12.4 margin in passing yards.  The team’s average turnover margin in those losses is -1.1.
• Cal is 39-4 when scoring 30+ points.
• Cal is 5-9 when allowing 30+ points.
• When allowing 20 or fewer points, the team is 28-0.
• Since 2002, the team has been ranked at every spot in the AP Poll except 24, 2, and 1.
• Cal is 10-11 against teams that are ranked at the time of the game.
• Against ranked teams on the road, the team is 4-8, with wins against #15 Michigan State, #12 Washington, and #16 Arizona State in 2002, and #11 Oregon last week.
• Tedford teams are 6-6 when both teams are ranked at the time of the game.
• However, Tedford teams are 3-11 against teams which ended the season ranked.
• The team is 35-5 when gaining 400+ yards on offense.
• The team is 13-9 when allowing 400+ yards on defense.
• Cal is 37-6 when outgaining opponents in total offense. 
• As for those six losses, Cal has lost at least one game each season in which it outgained its opponent:

1. 2002 Air Force (23-21, 335-317)
2. 2003 Utah (31-24, 365-336)
3. 2003 UCLA (23-20, 397-228)
4. 2004 USC (23-17 in the original Reggie Bush "Pete Alamar Special", 424-205)
5. 2005 UCLA (47-40 in the Maurice Jones-Drew "Pete Alamar Special Redux" game, 545-395)
6. 2006 Arizona (24-20, 356-262) 

• The total yardage margin in these games?  113.2 yards.  You may notice that that figure is higher than the average margin in Cal victories.  Small sample size, I know.  But God bless Pete Alamar.
• Cal is 11-14 when the team is outgained, though interestingly, the average score in those games is Cal 27.8, Opponent 27.6.
• And finally, Cal is 27-7 at home since 2002, and 5-2 against ranked opponents at home.  So let’s hear it for that homefield advantage.  Go Bears.

The torrent for the Cal @ Oregon game is now available right here.  WARNING: The website which hosts the torrent has a few advertisement pictures that are somewhere between PG-13 and rated R.  Unless you sit in your own cubicle at work then it might not be the best idea to click the link.  However, if your boss is cool with sexually suggestive advertisements, or unless you have no shame then click away.  If you have no shame, then I gotta give you props cuz that’s just funny.

Thanks to our readers danzig & C.S. for giving us the heads up.
