This was Cal's most complete football game against a GOOD team since....
Avinash: I throw down the Texas A&M 2006 Holiday Bowl as the standard. The Aggies came in talking smack for weeks about how we were going to rough them up like Texas Tech did two years back, and Cal had none of it. It was a beat down, just like tons of 2006 games were that year--Cal laid the smackdown early and went to the showers happy.
I don't think Washington State is a worldbeater, but I'd say they're as good as that Texas A&M team at the very least.
