On the Pac 12 podcast with Michael Wagaman:
#1 The Auburn Tigers quarterback Payton Thorne threw for five yard touchdown to wide receiver Rovaldo Fairweather this coming after the Cal Bears missed their field goal of the game.
#2 Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze gave the credit to the defense holding back Cal from getting traction on drives and keeping Bears quarterback Sam Jackson running all day.
#3 On the other side of the ball Cal kept Auburn quarterback Payton Thorne running who got 94 yards passing and threw for two touchdowns just to get by Cal 14-10.
#4 One of the positive things the Cal defense was able to hold Auburn’s offense. The Tigers were able to convert six first downs in three quarters before getting that 69 yard drive for the winning score in the middle of the fourth quarter.
#5 Cal hosts the Idaho Vandals who are coming off second win defeating the Nevada Wolf Pack 33-6 on Saturday. How do you see Cal defending against the pass of Idaho quarterback Gevani McCoy who threw for 313 yards and two touchdowns against Nevada.
