Midterms! How would you grade the California Golden Bears season at the midway mark and why?
Avinash: B+. There were very reasonable Bear fans out there who thought Cal would be 1-5 with plenty of no-shows down the line. Cal has won one game on the road, won one game at home, and was super competitive with the likely Pac-12 South champs. They got mauled in Oregon and still were within a touchdown in the 4th quarter.
The dam finally broke against Washington, but Friday is really the end of Cal's tough stretch.
