Let us not forget that Cal should be 5-1, assuming there was no way they could hold off the Duke comeback and that there is no way to justify the loss to SDSU, except better coaching and preparation. This is it. If Cal can't recover from the devastating loss to Duke and beat a mediocre NC team kitted out with a truckload of dysfunction and a coaching circus that NC boosters have got to be thinking about sending on its merry way, then we are in for a longer season than we thought, and I don't mean because there is a bowl game in our future. If Cal loses to NC and Rivera doesn't fire Wilcox, then I guess Cal just doesn't want to spend the money to buy out Wilcox's contract or spend the bigger money on trying to get a better coach who can build a winning program. Given the coaching positions that we know of that are already open, Cal is going to have a very rough time convincing anyone good to come to Berkeley given the other options out there. And it's really got to be someone who understands the college game and the portal/high school recruiting strategy that today's D1 college football requires. There's no more student in the student/athlete paradigm anymore; it's all about the money, not the education. It is just brutal out there trying to attract talented players to Berkeley with a program history that is as dismal as ours. It will take finding a savvy coach who may be young but hungry and can relate to players in this NIL world and who is able to recruit guys who can be developed into a cohesive team that will be the nucleus of a rebuilding effort leading to repeated success. If Indiana can do it, why not Cal? It's all about coaching, and right now we do not have what it takes to compete in this cut throat business that college football has become.
31-6 Cal loses off of too many turnovers and lack of focus (penalties and dropped passes). I am still not getting over how we lost to San Diego and how we basically got blown up by duke offensively in the second half with some awful o line play. I hope I am wrong because that drive home will be worse than losing to duke at homecoming. If we lose to unc it’ll feel like the pummeling we had in 2018 with the chunk belly lead 3-8 ucla baby bears. I am still traumatized by that and for the second time that season after losing to the lobsterbacks the season before cursed Wilcox . Seriously, I hope I am wrong.

We are not playing San Diego State.
Expecting a rock fight
But it's Cal's to win
Somehow it will end in a draw and maybe both coaches will get fired. You know, mood
