The Cal Bears going into last Thursday’s 45-24 loss at USC the team was worn out from playing just seven short days previous as they had mid terms and academics that they had to study for besides get ready for the game in Los Angeles. That’s why Cal head coach was as upset as he was in the post game press conference in regards to how the team was treated in the Pac 12 scheduling. The Bears will get a couple of days preparation to get ready to play the best team in the conference the Washington Huskies this Saturday the game will be at Cal.

The Bears are hoping to get a couple guys back the guy they need to get back is receiver Chad Hansen their chief offensive threat. This is a tough league and the game against USC started the season off loosing to Alabama and loosing then to Stanford and the Cardinal are just not the same team. The Trojans have a new quarterback Sam Darnold and if you listened to the announcers during last Thursday’s game they were saying that Darnold might be the best quarterback that the Trojans might have had down there.
