Dominate....almost. Clearly on defense Cal was dominate and had contribution from players that have been quite this year: Hicks & Goode. Also, Cal had younger players playing well: Paster & Patu among others. Offense, on the other hand, wasn't all that great in the second half and that lack of consistency continues to be an issue. For the remaining games, Cal has to create a consistent offense for any hope of additional wins.
Cal fans were, "well it's just Buffalo". But Cal for the most part did what it's suppose to do against teams like the Buffs. That's encouraging and something to build on.
As some of your may note, I like to skim websites for interesting college football news. Just found the one below on the Duck website, Addictedtoquack.com, showing a fairly recent, and interesting, study of who should rightfully be claimed college football's national champion. I believe Cal claims sole or partial championships in five or six years. This study only give Cal two outright consensus titles. But glad my father's alma mater, Yale, was crowned by the study as the school with the most single team national championships.
Note the study goes all of the way back to years only few years after the Civil War ended, when what was played might not hardly resemble modern day football.
Just wanted to let you know that Christopher Brooks has another year of eligibility at Cal. He has played in 2018, 2019, 2020, and this season, but 2020 doesn't count. 2018 and 2919 did not come close to qualifying for redshirt status.
Chris Street played in 2020, which does not count for eligibility purposes. But since he has appeared in seven games this season this season is not a redshirt year for him, even though he only carried the ball in two of those games.
Go Bears. Next Saturday's task will be a more difficult as OSU continues to win and put up a lot of points, gashing Utah's defense for 42 in a 42-34 win.
