The Washington Huskies meet the Cal Golden Bears in a Pac-12 conference college football Week 4 matchup from Husky Stadium on Saturday night.
The Cal Golden Bears will look to build off of their 42-30 win over Sacramento State last time out. Chase Garbers has thrown for 774 yards, 5 touchdowns and 2 interceptions on 63.6% passing while Damien Moore’s rushed for a team-best 237 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns this season. Trevon Clark has 10 catches for 227 yards and a pair of touchdowns while Jeremiah Hunter and Jake Tonges each have 100+ receiving yards and Nikko Remigio has a team-high 11 receptions this season. Defensively, Evan Tattersall leads the Golden Bears with 22 total tackles including a team-high 14 solo tackles while Cameron Goode has a pair of sacks and Daniel Scott has a pair of interceptions while sitting 2nd on the team with 19 total tackles this year.
The Washington Huskies will hope to build on their 52-3 rout of Arkansas State in their last game. Dylan Morris has thrown for 886 yards, 4 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on 57.4% passing while Richard Newton leads the Huskies on the ground with 138 rushing yards and a touchdown. Taj Davis leads the Huskies with 17 catches for 231 yards while Terrell Bynum has 179 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns. Jalen McMillan and Cade Otton each have 100+ receiving yards as well this season. Defensively, Jackson Sirmon leads the Huskies with 21 total tackles including a team-high 13 solo tackles this season.
Cal is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a road underdog and 13-5 ATS in their last 18 road games while the under is 16-5 in their last 21 conference games. Washington is 7-15 ATS in their last 22 conference games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games while the under is 12-2 in their last 14 games in September.
This is a tough call in all honesty, as it’s hard to guess what we’re going to see from either side and both looked impressive last time out. With that said, this just feels like a lower scoring game, which is why we have a total of 45.5 between two teams that combined for 94 points last week. I could see a 24-20 or 21-17 kind of game whichever way you slice it, so give me the under here.
