The Cal Golden Bears had a similar start to their 2018 season as Colorado. They won their first three games, then lost the next four. But unlike Colorado, the Golden Bears recovered from a mini-collapse. In that recovery, Cal posted an impressive win over the Washington Huskies.
This season finale will be all about the UCLA Bruins.
As previously mentioned, the Bruins played their heart out in the last game of the season in 2018 against Stanford. Chip Kelly will inspire the same type of performance against an easier opponent, Cal. It will cap of a tremendous turnaround by Kelly and Co. The Bruins will complete a momentous season at home in late-November.
With a 10-3 record, the Bruins may even be in contention to represent the Pac-12 South in the conference championship game. Of course, the rest of the division has different plans. Utah will be the toughest challenger from the South. USC will contend as well.
Final: UCLA 21, Cal 10 (10-3, 7-2)
