For the second week in a row, Cal head coach Sonny Dykes bemoaned the state of Pac-12 scheduling, lambasting the conference for having the Bears play a Thursday night road game against a team that was coming off a bye week and had nearly 12 days to prepare.
After Cal’s brutal 45-24 loss to USC on Thursday, Dykes sounded off in the postgame presser:
“We looked like a tired, beat-up football team and we were. I’ve said it last week. It’s a travesty whoever scheduled this game to schedule us back to back weekday games on six days rest to play a team on the road on an open date.
