Before the season, there was a glimmer of hope. After two weeks into the season that hope grew into a chance. After a victory against Ole Miss a dream was formed. That dream was Cal coming out of the gates under new coach Justin Wilcox and moving to 4-0 while ending Cal’s ridiculously long losing streak against U$C. Alas dreams are as they are, made up fantasies that rarely make their way into reality.
The reality that hit Cal fans today was that this version of Cal football is legitimate. For three quarters, Cal played even or better than the #5 team in the country.
