TCU (1-0) vs Cal (0-1) Game Preview
Why Cal Will Win
Cal just gave it away.
The Bears got up 14-0 on Nevada in the first quarter, the defense didn’t allow much of anything on the ground, and the running game was working, but the points dried up in the shocking 22-17 loss.
The Cal D is still the Cal D. It’s going to be all over the TCU backfield, it’s an active bunch that will get its share of stops.

What’s Going To Happen
First we get Steve from Blue’s Clues going on social media to provide us all with closure on his era, and now we get a chance to finally move past the 2018 Cheez-It Bowl – a 10-7 TCU win that was arguably the most painful bowl game ever played.
The two defenses will keep this relatively close, but Cal won’t be able to run, the downfield passing won’t make up for it, and at home, TCU will get a few good second half scoring drives to pull away.
