Cal vs Arizona Game Preview


Why Cal Will Win

There’s a whole lot about this team that’s up in the air right now, but …

The offense has found its groove just when it seemed like the season was over.

All of a sudden, the inconsistent attack came up with an almost perfect balance, generating 200 yards both rushing and passing in wins over Colorado and Oregon State.

The Bears are good at maintaining control. They own the time of possession battle, they’re great at coming up with third down conversions, and rather offensive line is solid at keeping defenses out of the backfield.

What’s Going To Happen

Arizona has been way, way overdue to finally get a win.

It played well for 40 minutes against Oregon before the roof caved in. It should’ve been competitive against Colorado, and wasn’t. It pushed USC and should’ve gotten past Washington.

Even if everything was normal, this would be the game for a still-fighting Arizona team to finally get it done on pure effort – as long as it can keep all the little mistakes to a minimum.
