Season hasn’t gone the way they like but looking to improve every week and get the wins soon.

Our goal should be to win the North to get into the Pac 12 championship game and win that game. Plenty of games left to do that and against teams that are doing well (Oregon, Oregon St., Stanford, . If we beat teams we are tied with in the North for all Pac 12 games the nod goes to Cal. But if we lose to Oregon, our chances of having a better record than them if we are tied with them go down a lot.
