The biggest test for the California Golden Bears awaits tonight in Berkeley, as the Oregon Ducks come to town. Cal is 3-0 and ranked, at home in Berkeley, as slight underdogs. Spooky!
Cal’s recent history with Oregon has not been good. The Bears have lost eight of their last nine games to the Ducks, with the one win being a squeaker two years ago in double overtime. Aside from that game, each Cal-Oregon game has generally followed the script of slightly close matchup that quickly accelerated into offensive blowout.
The good news is Cal is sporting the best defense they’ve ever had to try and stop the Oregon attack.
