Washington State may be 6-0, ranked No. 8 and favored by two touchdowns going into Friday’s game against Cal.
But even though the Golden Bears are on a three-game losing streak and still looking for their first Pac-12 win, you can be assured that the Cougars aren’t going to overlook them.
They know Cal offensive coordinator Beau Baldwin has beaten WSU before.
On Sept. 3, 2016, Baldwin and his Eastern Washington team traveled to Martin Stadium and stunned WSU 45-42 to hand the Cougars’ their second loss to an FCS team in two years.
The Eagles’ offense hung 606 offensive yards on the WSU defense, with quarterback Gage Gubrud passing for 474 yards, and Cooper Kupp catching 12 balls for 206 yards.
