On the Cal Bears (7-5) podcast the match up between the Bears and the Air Force Eagles (8-5) can be a lot closer than most folks calculate. Using Air Force’s most recent game against San Diego State as a measuring stick the Eagles won that game last Saturday by a field goal 27-24.

Earlier this season the Bears handled San Diego State without a hitch back on September 12th 35-7. This could be a close game with an aggressive Air Force offense and the Bears have had some problems defending against a successful offense that can pass and run and with the Eagles playing at Forth Worth at TCU Stadium there should be a great draw in attendance for this game scheduled for Tue Dec 29th.

The Bears have some advantages one them is they will come in with close to 31 days of rest playing their last game on November 28th and preparing and practicing for the Armed Forces game on Tue Dec 29th. That’s plenty of study time and relaxing from the season’s injuries for the Bears.
