The Bear's DL has been banged up all year. At various points of the year, Jalil, Tipoti, and Barr have been out. And as YM pointed out, they also lost two potential starting LBs for the year early.
They are now playing their two best CBs in Steve Williams and Kameron Jackson, because Jackson is better than the starter Marc Anthony. When you factor in Avery Sebastian, this California defense is as good as its been all year right now. They don't have much depth at LB or in the secondary right now, but Stanford can't sustain drives, so that lack of depth doesn't seem like something Stanford can capitalize on.
I honestly don't know how anyone could say a California win would be a big upset, considering Stanford is such a small favorite and how much Stanford has struggled on offense on the road.Â
Vegas says Stanford 25 California 22.
No way California scores more than 17.
