Stanford has beaten Cal five straight years in the Big Game. Barring any shocking developments, Stanford will make it six straight on Saturday because the Cardinal is the superior program and has been for a while.
In fact, if Cal wants to stop the streak, this is the only piece of advice I can offer:Find another job for Stanford coach David Shaw as soon as possible.Shaw is now 4-0 against Cal. And with the way he has Stanford's football program humming as a consistent winning engine -- last weekend's loss to Oregon was a misfiring piston, not a major-repairs breakdown -- it is difficult to picture Cal regaining control of Northern California's oldest football rivalry for years.
