Lyman Out For Season

The Oakland Tribune and the Daily Californian have confirmed reports that were circulating last night. Recent breakout wide receiver Chase Lyman will miss the rest of the season after severely straining the ACL in his left knee.

Lyman, who has seen a streak of bad luck and bad health, began mounting a comeback in the 2004 Insight Bowl when he stepped up to fill roles in a weak wide receiving corps. He hit his peak during the 2004 49-7 romp of Oregon State, when he caught three touchdown passes in one quarter alone.

While Lyman's skills will be missed, Cal Football can and will recover from his loss. Throughout the USC game, Rodgers spread the ball around to many different receivers. J.J. Arrington is running for over a hundred yards each game. Hopefully, we can spread around Lyman's duties to other players to make up for his loss. Or, at the very least, step up our special teams and put less pressure on the rest of the team.
