Every time Cal football has lost, the team has been able to make up for its lows on the road with highs at home. And the Bears are back home once again, looking to avoid their first losing streak of the season.
As evidenced by their wins against ranked teams like Texas and Utah, the Bears are capable of pulling off upsets at home. But against No. 5 Washington, Cal is going to be entering this game as a heavy underdog this week, and a bounceback win doesn’t seem that likely.
And it doesn’t get much better from there.
