Washington State vs Cal Game Preview

Why Cal Will Win

Everyone saw the Bears come up just short in the loss to Notre Dame, but they’ve been very quietly playing very, very well.

The 20-14 win over UNLV seemed like too close of a call against a mediocre team, but as it turns out, it was a strong defensive performance against a breakthrough offensive team.

Arizona was coming in off a big win over North Dakota State, and it couldn’t stop anything the Cal tried to do on the ground.

Control the clock, win the turnover battle – it can and should do both in this, but …

Why Washington State Will Win

The Cougars have been great.

They survived Wisconsin with a few key takeaways in a gut check performance when the offense wasn’t going well, they got into a wild fourth quarter shootout in the loss last week to Oregon, and all along they’ve been solid up front.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Cal with the turnover battle?

The Bears have been air tight with the ball so far with just two turnovers, and Washington has had issues with mistakes.

And then Ward and the passing attack will overcome the errors.
