Things are starting to look up for Cal, which aims for its third straight win Saturday when Syracuse pays a visit to Berkeley, Calif. The Golden Bears (5-4, 1-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) have won two games in a row after dropping their previous four contests. They notched their largest margin of victory in 2024 when they trounced Oregon State 44-7 on Oct. 26. Then after a bye week, they earned their first ACC victory by topping Wake Forest 46-36 on Nov. 8 in Winston-Salem, N.C. "We found a way to win," Bears coach Justin Wilcox said after his team racked up 500 yards of offense against the Demon Deacons.
