BERKELEY–The Cal Bears who just played Stanford a couple of weeks ago and really looked bad against Stanford in  their last meeting of the season won last Saturday night. They really made a huge difference coming off two road loses too. In terms of their approach and in terms of their intensity performance at Stanford. It was nice for Cal to turn the tables on Stanford a team they should do better than they have been and that was the case on Saturday.

The Bears have missed Tyrone Wallace and they’ve lost one of their best players and Cal has had some nicks and bruises at different times. The Cardinal have been decimated they don’t have Reid Travis that’s someone that they really need to score. They need offense and he could provide it for them for the majority of the Pac 12 season.
