Quarterbacks: C
Lyle Moevao (shoulder) didn't have his usual zip and was overall rusty, but he battled.
Running backs: A
Jacquizz Rodgers' elusiveness is stunning every time. The little guy can be a punishing back, too.
Wide receivers: A
There was the usual sure-handedness, but the downfield blocking hammered the Bears.
Offensive line: A
Moevao was safe enough and Rodgers found plenty of holes. They get stronger as games go on.
Defensive line: A+
This group has grown into one of the best in the Pac-10 when it comes to the pass rush.
Linebackers: A-
Containing RB Javhid Best was difficult, but it was done. Best got one long TD run.
Secondary: A-
Safeties held on early from the deep pass attack, and CB Keenan Lewis iced the game.
Special teams: B+
A kickoff return for a TD and a punt return to set up up another TD, but a FG was missed.
Coaching: A
It was a good chess game matching wits with Cal in a back-and-fourth game. OSU stayed on the attack.
