Cal football

As the sun sets on the Pac-12, Cal gets set to take on UCLA. In what could be the final meeting between these two storied universities for the foreseeable future, the Bears hope to get a final triumph over the Bruins to go bowling in December.

The Bears made the familiar trip down to Palo Alto for the 126th Big Game. Cal bested their longtime rival, holding the lead for the entirety of the game

The Bears needed every point they could get to outduel Washington State 42-39. And it began with their first offensive possession, a 12-play, 65-yard drive capped off by a touchdown from tight end Jack Endries.

Cal will face the Stanford Cardinal for the 126th Big Game, inching closer to the end of the Pac-12 era.

The massive strides taken in Kaleb Elarms-Orr’s redshirt sophomore campaign were formed step by step. His faith kept through appreciation of the “little milestones,” his burst to the big stage is a tale of perseverance, preparation and patience.

I’m a senior. I’m about to graduate. I’m about to get the heck out of here. And that is pretty damn scary, to be honest.

What was once thought to be a fifth-straight matchup against a ranked team, Senior Day against Washington State brought Cal back into the win column. 

Winning 42-39, Cal beat its conference opponent, Washington State, with tremendous defensive performances. Recording two defensive touchdowns and six sacks, the Bears were led by the defensive side of the ball Saturday.
