After coming within one point of predicting the score of Cal’s 23-17 win over North Texas last week, soothsayer and CGB writer extraordinaire Avinash Kunnath predicted an even lower scoring game this week.
So naturally, with the expectation being a hard fought, low scoring game with offensive yards and points being at a premium, the game went exactly the opposite direction. Cal and Ole Miss combined for 958 yards of total offense, a staggering 721 yards through the air, and had a bevy of explosion plays between them. But in the end, it was the Cal defense that came through with the stop the Bears needed to win the game.
