The Cal football team heads into Saturday’s game with No. 18 Utah looking for revenge, after an uncharacteristic turnover-filled outing from Jared Goff cost the Bears a victory and their undefeated record, all in front of a national TV audience. It was a bad look for Cal and a bad look for Goff.
But if the Bears aren’t careful, this matchup could turn into another debacle for the passing game.
Utah comes into the matchup overrated — it has barely defeated some mediocre opponents — but its defense remains nearly impenetrable. The Utes have allowed less than 16 points per game, and even that number is inflated after USC scored on a kickoff return last week.
