Sept 27, 1958: Cal fell to 0-2 after being beaten by Michigan State, a week after losing the opener to lowly UOP. That was of course our last Rose Bowl year.
ItтАЩs not going to happen this year with Oregon and UCLA looking as good as they do, but I think a winning record in the conference is very possible. I also like the increased aggressiveness on offense, even if itтАЩs not yet paying off. Over the course of the year I think it will.
Wilcox and Garbers both said that they saw TCU played everyone within 9 years of the line of scrimmage. They felt they could exploit that for big plays.
Great that they did but not every team is going yo have that type of D.
Also started 0-2 in 1975 and went on to tie for the conference title. Of course that was a result of Coach White making Joe Roth the starting quarterback.
IтАЩm just not seeing a winning record in Pac 12 play. I like the way Nam broke down our opponents into tiers and after looking at it, I just donтАЩt see 5 wins.
Consolation prize: Cal (71) ranks as the best 0-2 team in The Athletic's comprehensive CFB rankings, ahead of Florida State (80) and UW (87).
It's a disappointing start to the season to be sure but two close losses to borderline Top 25 teams isn't the end of the world.
We're 71st! We're 71st!

I would expect a TD on every play if TCU gave us 9 years to work with.

Special teams were really good in 1975. Played with a lot of pride and heart.
hmmm and the only shared title we had since then was in 2006, which started with an awful loss to Tennessee.

I agree
