| Keenan Allen in High School |
Cal's embarrassing 52 to 31 loss to Nevada Friday was hard to stomach, especially since it looks like Stanford's steamrollering people, having clobbered Wake Forest by an unholy margin 68 to 24.
Add to that, Cal seemed to forget that defensing against the Pistol Offense means taking away the inside gaps, but that's another story.
In all that, the Keenan Allen Heisman Watch takes a hit. Allen had just one catch for eight yards against Nevada; another one thrown to Allen by Cal QB Kevin Riley was high and intercepted; Allen was open.
Meanwhile, Keenan Allen's teammate Marvin Jones had 12 catches for 161 yards against Nevada, and has now outperformed Allen. Jones has a total of 20 catches for 319 yards and 2 touchdowns. Of his career 978 yards, approximately one-third were gained this season. At that pace, ESPN.com has Jones projected to gain 1,276 yards this year.
Marvin Jones for The Heisman? Maybe, but it Allen's a natural big play receiver that Cal should not give up getting the ball to. Marvin Jones had three seasons to get to his current level of play; Keenan Allen's already there as a freshman just out of high school.
Stay tuned.
