Cal gives up 45 points in first half, routed 59-32 at Washington

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:18:49 GMT

If this was the last time Cal faces Washington on the football field, it will be remembered as one of the Bears’ worst experiences.Behind 14-0 before the No. 8 Huskies had even run an offensive play, Cal lost 59-32 in a game that was not that close at Husky Stadium on Saturday night.The Huskies (4-0) won their opener in their f givesinal Pac-12 season before moving to the Big Ten, and looked every bit a contender to not only win the conference title but challenge for a spot in the College Football Playoff.The Bears (2-2), who will move to the Atlantic Coast Conference next fall, looked entirely overmatched in their final Pac-12 opener. They trailed 45-12 at halftime, at which point they had surrendered as many points as they’d allowed in a full game since 2016.UW led 52-12 after the first series of the third quarter, threatening to make this the most one-sided defeat of the seven-year Justin Wilcox era. The Bears lost 35-0 at Utah in 2019 when they were forced by injury to use a thi...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:18:49 GMT

SAN JOSE — Valley Christian’s defense has been very good so far this season.A micro example occurred on the first play Saturday of Valley’s game with Bellarmine. Middle linebacker Remy Hernandez sacked Bellarmine quarterback Parker Threatt for a 10-yard loss at the 5 and knocked the ball loose. A Bellarmine player managed to recover the fumble in the end zone for a safety, and so one play into the game Valley Christian had a 2-0 lead.Sort of an indication of what was to come as well as what has transpired thus far this season.After going 1-9 a year ago, the Warriors improved to 4-0 with a 23-7 victory over the Bells in a West Catholic Athletic League opener for both teams.“Last year 1-9, we’re hungry, we’re starving,” linebacker Lovante Metcalfe said.In those four games Valley Christian has allowed a combined total of 33 points, an average of just over 8 points per game.“I think people will see that we have really talented players,R...
