Can you do me a favor and remind me to stay more even-keeled when it comes to the Cougs? Thanks. They lost to Cal, 34-28, on Saturday. I thought they'd lose by 35 points, and oddsmakers thought they'd lose by 17 so I was wrong, Vegas was wrong, and the Cougars almost beat the 24th-ranked team in the country and the top-rated NFL quarterback prospect in Jared Goff.
You could even argue that they should have beaten the Golden Bears were it not for an interception by Luke Falk, a fumble by Gabe Marks and a fumble by Goff inside his own 5-yard line that was recovered by the Bears.
