Can the Cal Bears beat No. 21 Wake Forest and its high-flying offense?
Cal's offense looked much more well-orchestrated last week, but now the Bears may struggle to keep up with a potent Wake Forest attack. Plus, preview of Stanford vs. Elon and SJSU vs. UTEP.
Cal football (3-3) has made strides after a recent 25-20 victory over Virginia Tech, addressing key concerns. Head coach Tosh Lupoi expressed pride in the team's progress and emphasized the importance of moving forward. The upcoming matchup against No. 21 Wake Forest, a 5-1 team, presents a significant challenge. With star quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele expected to play, the Bears will aim to maintain their offensive momentum against a formidable defense led by dual-threat quarterback Gio Lopez.
Cal's pass defense, currently ranked ninth in the nation, will face a tough test as Wake Forest's passing attack ranks third in the country. The Bears will look to capitalize on Cal's strong intermediate field attacks and leverage the return of defensive back Kingston Lopa, who is expected to be available for Saturday's game.
