Cal Aims for 5th Straight Big Game Win
23 Nov
Summary
- Cal seeks fifth consecutive victory in the rivalry series.
- A seventh win secures Cal's first winning season since 2019.
- Victory positions Cal for a conference-winning record since 2009.
The California Golden Bears are set to face Stanford in the 128th Big Game, with numerous objectives on the line. A win today would mark Cal's fifth straight victory in this storied rivalry, matching their longest streak from 2002 to 2006. Securing a seventh win this season would guarantee Cal's first winning record since 2019.
Beyond the rivalry, this game is crucial for Cal's season trajectory. A victory, coupled with a win against SMU next Saturday, would put the Bears in contention for their first conference winning record since 2009. While already bowl-eligible, each subsequent win enhances their prospects for a more desirable bowl game assignment.
Head coach Justin Wilcox, who holds a 5-3 record against Stanford, is also under consideration for future coaching decisions. This Big Game presents a significant opportunity for him and the team to solidify their standing and conclude the season on a high note.
