The Washington State Cougars lost to the California Golden Bears in Berkely, California late Saturday afternoon. It was the Bears only second win in the Pac-12 schedule so far this season. The first win was over the Washington Huskies. So they can't beat anyone except the Washington schools.
The game started off in an interesting way where the Golden Bears intercepted a pass on the Cougar's first possession. California ended up scoring a touchdown however on the extra point the Cougars were able to run it back for two points. The Cougars ended up getting a field goal in the first quarter as well so the score was California 6 Washington State 5 at the end of the first quarter.
The score at half-time is one we don't see often if ever California 13 Washington State 11. The Golden Bears outscored the Cougars 20-13 in the second half to make the final California 33 Washington State 20. The Cougars were in the game still in the fourth quarter when the Golden Bears ran for 52 yards on a third and long. This doesn't happen often either but we are talking about the Golden Bears and the Cougars. Often the Cougars find a way to lose and it happens often to the Golden Bears. California somehow has it for the Washington schools.
Now we can look forward to next season to see what may happen against California for the Huskies and Cougars. The Cougars have to win two of their final three games to be eligible for a bowl game. The chances are good the Cougars won't go to a bowl game this year. Next week they are at home against Stanford followed by Oregon State than on the road at Washington to finish the regular season. There is a chance the Cougars win two of those games. We wish them the best against Stanford and Oregon State to make a bowl game. Go Cougs!
