The Texas State Bobcats have shown more signs of life this season with a win over Rhode Island and a competitive effort against UTSA. The California Golden Bears are a complete mess with no direction offensively and losses to UC San Diego and Southern. It’s ugly out here, folks. With that said, this is becoming a must win spot for Cal. If you can’t get the job done here at home, something is wrong. I’ll lay the bucket, but I’ll close my eyes while doing it.
