Cal football opponent review: How'd the Bears look against the Washington State Cougars?

Cal snatched a victory out of the jaws of defeat against a dangerous WSU team. What can we take away from this victory and what can we expect to see next year?

Overview
The 2015 Washington State Cougars would have what could be described as their coming out party under head coach Mike Leach. They looked the part of a dangerous contender in the Pac-12, overcoming a sluggish start to the season to lose only 4 games. And how disappointing those losses were for the Cougars. A devastating loss in their season opener to FCS Portland State, a narrow loss to an opportunistic Cal team, what would have been a victory over then #8 Stanford with a missed field goal as time expired, and a loss to rival Washington without star QB Luke Falk.
