A year ago, as the California Golden Bears limped out of Homecoming to 3-3 after getting gashed and slashed by winless UCLA, the frustration finally let loose for many Bears fans, including myself. The offense was not working, and a quizzical quarterback change had made things far worse. The Justin Wilcox era appeared to be stuck in neutral, and a very good defense seemed to be on the verge of being wasted. The Bears didn’t seem to be going anywhere.
Since that game, Cal hasn’t been blown out again.
Not in Autzen. Not in Husky Stadium.
