END THE STREAK.
A month ago, this Promo wrote itself. The script called for a ranked Cal and USC, in a 60 minute match with everything on the line: Pac-12 supremacy, and a chance to end the Streak, on Halloween night.
Little ever goes according to plan. Instead, we have the near opposite of all I listed above: an almost assured non-sell out, 12 PM kick, with a reeling Bears team meeting a USC still far, far from its traditional heights -- they already have three losses at the end of October, when they used to go seasons without reaching that number in total.
