Pac-12 Conference

Hoping to rebound from recent losses, the Bears had high hopes for their games against UCLA and USC. After two more losses, however, Cal now sits at a league-worst 16-loss streak.

The last time fans saw this matchup Oct. 21, Cal delivered a surprisingly aggressive and sturdy fight, forcing the Trojans to fight on and fight hard for every point.

The tandem adds to the youth movement in the East Bay, where Cal (7-17) sports only one senior – opposite Sydney Lilomaiava.

Fans in attendance on Sunday afternoon couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The blue and gold won the first two sets, forcing Utah to burn four timeouts.

The Bears were swept in Tucson, just as they were in Tempe. The tandem of defeats puts Cal’s streak of losses up to a daunting eight.

After a 7-3 start to the year, Cal finds itself in a hole – one that is six consecutive losses deep. Bears fans better hope the team has shovels.

Jeff Tedford, the winningest coach in Cal football history, has been fired, according to Athletics Director Sandy Barbour. The move comes on the heels of the Bears’ 3-9 season, Tedford’s worst in Berkeley.
