Last week was rough for the Bears. For the 13th straight year, the Bears were unable to come through with a win against a talent rich USC squad. Sonny Dykes took exception to having to play a historical rival on the road with short rest, and made some valid points the Pac-12 needs to look at going forward. Rest or not, the Bears still dropped to 4-4 last week and still need to find 2 more wins to become bowl eligible this year.
Looking ahead, Cal faces another big test against Jake Browning and the Washington Huskies. While the Huskies don't own a crazy 13 year win streak over the Bears, this is still going to be a tough one for the Bears to win.
