What to Know

The California Golden Bears have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will hit the road for the second straight week as they head to Stanford Stadium at 7 p.m. ET Saturday. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

It was all tied up nothing to nothing at halftime, but the Golden Bears were not quite the Arizona Wildcats' equal in the second half when they met two weeks ago. California fell to the Wildcats 10-3. California didn't live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the 7-point advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game. QB Ryan Glover had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: he passed for only 94 yards on 29 attempts.

Meanwhile, the Stanford Cardinal were expected to have a tough go of it last week, and that's exactly how things played out. Things couldn't have gone much worse for them as they lost 35-14 to the Oregon State Beavers. The Cardinal were down 28-7 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. No one had a standout game offensively for Stanford, but they got scores from RB Nathaniel Peat, TE Benjamin Yurosek, and QB Ari Patu.

California is now 3-6 while Stanford sits at 3-7. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Golden Bears are stumbling into the matchup with the 175th most passing touchdowns allowed in the nation, having given up 15 on the season. The Cardinal have experienced some struggles of their own as they are 237th worst in the nation in rushing touchdowns allowed, with 26 on the season. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
