Remember when Cal was finally going to end the near decade long streak against Oregon and all of us old blues were going to get warm and fuzzy feelings inside? Well, for the first half of last year’s matchup it sure did seem like that was going to happen.
What proceeded to unfold was one of the most grueling, fist clenching, hair pulling performances of the Sonny Dykes era. In fact, it may have been this game above all others that signaled doom for Sonny D in Berkeley. Oregon was enduring one of their worst starts to a season in years and the game did not start any better for the Ducks.
