DE Mbakogu may be lost for the season

Defensive end Philip Mbakogu, considered to be Cal’s best pass rusher, may be lost for the season. He underwent surgery  on his left knee to address some cartilage problems after his last season finished with great success. Unfortunately, Coach Jeff Tedford said, “His knee’s not responding.” This is a huge loss to the pash rush, which was shown last Saturday to need some help.

Also, tight end Craig Stevens may play against Minnesota after suffering a concussion during the opening kickoff against Tennessee.
