While it is highly improbable, I want to Cal to beat them in a rock fight with a stupid score of something like 5-3. I want Cal to be burned into Husky-fans' psyche as THAT team.... that team that always seems to get their goat, snuffs out dreams, ruins the taste of their soup, and makes them say "good riddance and I hope we never have to play them again"

Going with history of Wilcox vs the puppies and thinking this is a rock fight we win. Both Marshawn and Jahvid had great winning games against the fuskies and maybe Ott adds his name to the pantheon of puppy crushing Bears?

He'll be fresh after taking the time off against Idaho. Some Ott, some D, some mysterious Cal Voo Doo: the Bears have a shot. Looking forward to it.

They'll be targeting LM Hearns...he's been getting burned. I hope he gets some safety help. Although, it would be nice to see some different blitz packages to apply pressure. Nice to get Littlejohn back...Moore is on the small side and not as athletic. #Takers gonna take!

Take Mel Kiper's opinion for what it is worth but he has McMillan as a top 20 talent in the draft next year along with Odunze, not mid round. Regardless, he good

His opinion is worth pretty much nothing until shortly before the draft when he gets inside information from the teams themselves, who are usually using him as part of a game to jockey for draft position (e.g. X player is a top 10 pick to make another team in the 11-20 range who is interested try to move up, etc). He has no ability to evaluate talent himself.

Cal has either a thin 11% slice of a pie chart chance to win, is a 21.5 point dog to the dawgs, or a team that "just hasn't shown they are very good so far this season", depending on where you look on the net regarding this game. Damn. Thats not good. But whatever, those kids will play hard and give Washington a game. Pac 12 one last time. Go Bears!

Our first 3 games we had the pressure of a team that was supposed to win (even against Auburn at home).

I’m curious to see how this team plays knowing that everyone says we’re going to lose against Washington.

Deer in the headlights or take it to Washington. Need to see the second option even if we lose.

We have the pressure to not get blown out like our peers in the bottom of the PAC - Stanfurd and ASU
