Obvious slight edge to Cal in stats dept. Cal's worst loss of the season came at the hands of Oregon and they are coming off a terrible loss to UCLA and an uninspiring win against WSU. They recently beat Utah, 34-10. If this were a home game, I'd say it would be very close. But, unfortunately, OSU is having issues with away games (would you consider Seattle a neutral site for an OSU/WSU game?). Cal's record is unimpressive, but they are 4-1 at home - with their only home loss to a very good USC team. I thought OSU played good football against Stanford with Stanford at 6.4 yard gain per play to OSU's 6.1. What killed OSU was avg 1.9 yards per rush. Cal has the 4th best conference defense against the run and unfortunately, the #1 pass defense in the Pac. OSU played so well against WSU then blows it against the Utes. Which team will show? Gotta go with the home team in this one, but hoping for a good Beav showing. The schedule gets tougher with UW at home and UO at Autzen.
