going for decker. and decker held on at the 40. solid throw by adam weber.there is weber had time to throw. look at the pass protection. throws over a linebacker. boy, that's a dangerous throw and a good catch. he knew his roommate, decker, would make a good play out of it. couldn't keep running. just had to jump up and make the catch. good drive going. >> dave: see the numbers for decker at that 23-yard grab. he's the all-time receiver in terms of catches for minnesota. had 84 last season. 23 in 2-plus games here in 2009. weber to throw again. this time, he's chased. gets rid of it and completes it, to stoudermire. now, checking in with rece. >> rece: i know this conference pride thing can be overrated at some timeses. but after central michigan beat michigan state last week. northern illinois into lafayette. they are hammering purdue at the moment. spann rushing through. and deep in the third. 28-14, right now. >> dave: that's surprising, after purdue almost knocked off oregon on the road last week. >> bob: they came out strong the first two weeks. >> dave

eric deckers option pass to marquise gray and this game now knotted up 21-21 in the fourth quarter over on espn. >> pam: well, how about that, cal's been making mince meat of defense so far this year, averaging over 50 points a game. and the gophers have them tied up. ruffin picks up the first down for the pirates on that play. >> ray: i had that in my scouting report on eric decker. he's a lefty. so you got to always beware when he takes a pitch. >> pam: he's a terrific baseball player too for the gophers. he's already been drafted a couple of times by major league teams. hanging in there as a football player for minnesota trying to pull off that upset at home. meanwhile, at least east carolina's trying to score in offensive point for the first time all season. and that's not going to get it done. roughing, bottled up by the two big guys in the middle, cam thomas and marvin austin. another two-yard loss for the pirates. really been struggling. on their first 11 possessions just 11 first downs. they have three first downs in this drive alone. second and 12. pinkney takes off but gets a

. >> decker, throws it to marquis gray. tied at 21. >> he can throw here, you see. >> oh. >> you asked for it. >> you asked for it. this is in the play, bennett and decker crossing the backfield. do your job. >> look at all the cal guys going one way, coming back. decker, the lefty, southpaw action. >> fired up after the touchdown pass, rightly so. second and goal. inside the gophers' 2. jahvid runs into the end zone. cal, goes on to win, 35-21 but there was one more. he ties a school record for five touchdowns, 26 -- he ran the ball 26 times for 131 yards. >> average isn't very good for him. having a round of three interceptions really hurt. couldn't overcome it. the difference in the game. >> let's talk about jahvid best. five touchdowns. great athlete. smart player but what allowed him to be so incredibly effective. >> the same thing that's always allowed the guy to be effective. first of all only 5'8". difficult to see behind the line of scrimmage but he has great vision. he accelerates extremely well. when he gets to h

thinking about taking a short position on deckers.s it a good move or -- >> amy, you're a new investor so, immediately i have to tell you short selling, remember the dynamic of short selling. stocks can go up to infinity but they can only stop at zero. i think you're playing with fire. we had cress crowd on recently, the excellent ceo of jones, jny. what did he say was strong sne said boots are strong. i have sources saying boots are strong. i understand from one of my sporting goods stores they can't keep deckers in stock. don't forget amazon is buying zappos. that's one of the largest purveyors of deckers. i think you may just want to step aside. sure, it's moved a lot but that's no reason to short it. valuation's never a good move, and i don't think you'll get a short pull. let's go to mike in ohio. >> caller: a big established in 1804 ohio university bobcat alumni ba-ba-ba-boo-yah! >> the bobcats never get their due here. we thought about the bearcats. we've talked about ohio state. let it be known that this show is dedicated to o

decker would get stitches but you know what, he returns. there's no crying in football. >> boy i tell you, just a great job of body control, field awareness and he knew that hit was coming. that's a man's man! >> weber pitch to decker, throws the pass. and marquis gray for the touchdown. game tied at 21 right there and the gophers sticking around. jahvid best. this would be his fourth score. he runs it right on in. he now has seven touchdowns on the season. again, bit of an issue with the cameraman. 25-21, it appears as though with just under three minutes in the fourth quarter cal will hang on and survive this game. >> if cal went for it fourth and one around the 35, 40 yard line and got it. but they had to go and review the spot. there's a huge play. because minnesota would have gotten the ball back with an opportunity to go score and instead, cal capitalizes. they get the first down, go down and score and now they're up two touchdowns. >> they're not being outshined. they're looking california and feeling california. >> some bonus covera
