California Golden Bears Analysis

The California Golden Bears had a strong performance in their last game against Arizona State, even though they were outgained 430 yards to 326 yards. They rushed for nearly 200 yards, only gave up 68 rushing yards, and forced two turnovers which lead to their 24-21 victory. Jaydn Ott was the standout star of the game, rushing for 165 yards with a TD, and Sam Jackson V passed for 130 yards with a TD. Offense Ranking: #50 Defense Ranking: #93 Total Record: 3-2 (2-3 ATS) Oregon State is led by a strong running game, ranking 12th in the nation in rushing yards per game and tied for 90th in passing yards per game. With three RBs who have rushed for at least 182 yards, led by Ott (471 yards 5 TD) and Isaiah Ifanse (262 yards) who also has five TD, Jackson V (556 yards 5 TD 2 INT) has four TD in the last three games. Oregon State ranks 98th in the nation in defending the pass, but is one of the best run defenses in the nation, ranking eighth in defending the run. Oregon St. went 1-2 (1-2 ATS) in their last 3 matchups against California.

Cal's Struggles to Defend Against the Pass May Cost Them Against Oregon State

Cal's 3-2 record saw the team reach their first Pac 12 win in their last game against an ASU team with just a 1-4 record. The Golden Bears hold a solid run defense while having difficulty defending against the pass. Oregon State, conversely, is known for a balanced offensive attack and an eighth rank in the nation for run defense. The Beavers' strength in both running and passing the ball may prove to be too much for Cal, as the Golden Bears are likely to struggle keeping up and will most probably fall short of a victory. It is expected that Oregon State will win and cover the spread with a -9.5 margin.
