For the first time since 2020, the Bears won back-to-back games against the Aggies and Ducks. However, the Buffs did not let them celebrate for long and beat the Bears 19-9.
The Bears had two difficult back-to-back games this weekend against the Trojans and the Sun Devils, falling to both teams and performing worse than in their last games against these schools last week.
Despite an intense game against USC, the Pac-12’s first-place team, and a respectable performance against Arizona State, Cal ended the weekend winless.
Cal will look to build on its offensive and defensive positives from nonconference play as it heads to Eugene to play Oregon on Friday and to Boulder for a game against Colorado on Sunday.
The Bears performed their best game of the season thus far against the Bison on a rainy Thursday afternoon. After losing four games in a row, the blue and gold came out on top with a whopping score of 17-1.
