Scoreline: Cal loses 10-44
I don't even know anymore, man. My expectations are in the dirt. I imagine SMU doing what Wake Forest did; they're built for it.

At least we’ll get this one out of the way early in the day.

Scoreline: Cal loses 21-28
Only reason it is close throughout the game is because Kevin Jennings scores 3 TDs, 2 for SMU and 1 for Cal.

Chaos. Always root for chaos!
If Brousseau starts and plays most of the game we will lose by 38 points. If JKS starts, we will lose by 14 points.
Only way we win is if lopa is smu’s leading receiver
