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.

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.

The losing streak for the Bears continues as they suffer defeat at the hands of the Ducks, 19-63. Cal now stares at the familiar challenge of having to win out to attain bowl eligibility in 2023.

A new-look Cal team will try to mesh in its season opener.

With the closing of the transfer portal Jan. 18, 2023, and national signing day Feb. 1, The Daily Californian’s sports editors are bringing readers a comprehensive update to the ins and outs (quite literally) of Cal’s 2023 football roster.

Even before the clock struck 8 a.m., Cal football had already named several new commits to its 2023 squad. By midday, Cal had added 14 new names to its football roster.

Cal gained two new defensive backs this weekend, with transfer commitments from UNLV’s Nohl Williams and Colorado’s Kaylin Moore.
