Cal vs. Washington Huskies Football Insta-Recap & Rate the Game: Bears Make Too Many Mistakes, Lose 32-59
The California Golden Bears (2-2) could not overcome the No. 8 Washington Huskies (4-0) in Seattle, dropping in a 32-59 decision.
The Bears started the game by gifting the Huskies 14 points in the first six minutes. California quarterback Ben Finley threw a pick-six in the first drive, and on the next drive, the Bears gave up an 83-yard punt return for a touchdown to Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze.
Additional mistakes by Finley, who threw three interceptions in the first half, and the special teams made California’s upset bid nearly impossible Saturday night.

Rate the Cal v. Washington Game!
I went back and looked at that 66-27 beating that Cal took against Washington in 2016 and can now say that game was imminently more watchable than what we saw last night. Cal was only trailing 28-20 in the middle of the second quarter until Washington turned on the jets in the second half. Davis Webb threw three interceptions in that game, too, but he was not benched the next game as Finley undoubtedly will be against ASU.
So I am calling you out Mr. Wilcox about what you said in the presser. You are going to look at "8,000 things" to turn around the season? Really? Doing that requires real work, I mean setting up a cot in the bowels of Memorial Stadium a la Jeff Tedford kind of work. Clearly you are not working that hard for your team to look that sloppy in the most pivitol game of the year. We all expected a loss, but this? Bad coaches and bad fits don't get better with time, folks, which is why most of them are let go in two or three years at the P5 level. It looks to me like Wilcox is simply grifting $5 million a year from the Cal coffers unless shown otherwise.
Ron Rivera next year?!
