Another #FridayThe13th Upset: Unranked Cal DEMOLISHES #8 Washington State, 37-3.
UPDATE:
California absolutely destroys previously unbeaten #8 Washington State on both sides of the ball en route to a 37-3 upset win. It's only the second win over a Top 10 team in the past 50 years for Cal (the other was in 2003 against USC in 3OT).
Wazzu was, amazingly, a 16.5 point favorite coming into the game and lost by 33. That's a 49.5 point swing in the spread.
The turnover margin was 7-0 in favor of the Golden Bears.
So...our offense is better than Mike Leach's?

It’s only halftime, boss. Join the late night thread.
October 14th, 2017 at 12:39 AM ^
I apologize, my bad. Didn't check to see if there was one first, just saw the upset thread for Clemson earlier and followed suit.
Hopefully, this can be updated to an upset complete later (*crosses fingers*)
October 14th, 2017 at 12:36 AM ^
I bet you talk about no-hitters, too
October 14th, 2017 at 12:48 AM ^
the greatest in CFB...I don't think so...
October 14th, 2017 at 12:57 AM ^
Cal is moving the ball and headed toward the end zone again. turnovers are killing Washington State...that sounds kinda familiar
October 14th, 2017 at 6:25 AM ^
They finished with SEVEN turnovers. I don't how many possessions WSU had, but it couldn't have been much more than seven.
I think Saturday could be much of the same as far as upsets go. No two ranked teams play each other, but many ranked teams are on the road against fairly good teams. Should be a great day of football. Penn St with a bye should now move into the #2 slot. Michigan needs to win today and then get ready to take out the #2 team next week.

a little better about losing to sparty because of turnovers
October 14th, 2017 at 10:01 AM ^
That loss last Saturday night still feels every bit as bad as it did then.
Sparties everywhere are still gloating over their "great victory", Dantonio is still acting like a smug asshole, spewing his "personal satisfaction" BS while firing off complaints and targeting videos to the B1G office, hoping to get Michigan players suspended.
No, losing to State because of being -5 in turnovers still sucks. Spartie still sucks, but they have Paul Bunyan for the next 12 months. The only way some of the stench starts going away is by us beating IU soundly today while State fails at Minnesota.
October 14th, 2017 at 10:21 AM ^
I wonder if Wazzu boards are currently filled with posts about Leach's bad offense, if he is the right coach for Wazzu and player effort.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:00 AM ^
Stay Golden!!
October 14th, 2017 at 1:04 AM ^
Cal defense with 6 sacks! Go Bears!
October 14th, 2017 at 1:06 AM ^
Washington State doing its best to outdo Michigan's ball security issues.
Currently 0-5 in turnovers, and we're only halfway through the third.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:06 AM ^
The Bum...
October 14th, 2017 at 1:07 AM ^
5 TO for WSU.... sounds familiar for some reason
October 14th, 2017 at 1:14 AM ^
I actually like Leach and Wazzu quite a bit. Was rooting for them the somehow win the Pac12.
Unfortunately they’re Coug’ing it, as it’s known out west. Watching it happen in a similar fashion to Michigan’s last game is also painful.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:17 AM ^
I agree. Was thrilled to see them beat USC, will be rooting for them to beat Washington and win the PAC 12.
But a 1 or 2 loss PAC 12 WSU champ is better for us than an undefeated one.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:16 AM ^
Can come back. I always stay up til 2-3am to watch pac12 football. Good to hear I'm not the only one
October 14th, 2017 at 1:19 AM ^
Cal's Rockett Man. Out for targeting. Bad!!
October 14th, 2017 at 1:20 AM ^
So... Wazzu now has JOK as QB and Michigan’s oline. Not a good recipe for success.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:21 AM ^
Sitting at a Coug bar outside Seattle watching the meltdown in all of its glory....
Wearing, or course, my "Water covers 70% of the earth Woodson covers the rest" tshirt.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:30 AM ^
Love Seattle but don't miss the shit weather. God damn sunshine and low humidity is great.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:32 AM ^
Apple Cup should be awesome this year.
October 14th, 2017 at 8:07 AM ^
If a decent defense makes Wazzu look like that, that Washington is going to eviscerate the Cougars
October 14th, 2017 at 10:48 AM ^
They destroyed them last year too, and this year's game moves to Seattle from Pullman.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:21 AM ^
Cal defense is playing lights out tonight. 8 sacks so far and 5 to
October 14th, 2017 at 1:24 AM ^
20-3 lead going into the fourth for Cal.
WSU looks exactly like we did last week on offense, but with a much worse defense.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:25 AM ^
looks like he needed some of that action SC dude had last week.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:28 AM ^
Holy flipping qb!!!!!
October 14th, 2017 at 1:29 AM ^
That was incredible!
October 14th, 2017 at 1:29 AM ^
I'm at the game...just saying.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:32 AM ^
I’m guessing it was a cheap ticket, considering half the stadium is empty. Enjoy!
October 14th, 2017 at 1:38 AM ^
Well, it's Cali. Very few GAF about sports. Valid point.
October 14th, 2017 at 2:20 AM ^
Not sure it would improve a lot but the smoke from the fires has to have an effect on people being out there.
October 14th, 2017 at 2:32 AM ^
I hear you but it's much father north in the Bay. Wine country.
October 14th, 2017 at 3:42 AM ^
For what it's worth, I live about 4 miles from the Cal campus, and the air quality is really bad --bad enough that we drove 3 hours away for the weekend to get away from it. Berkeley's only 30-40 miles away from wine country, and the wind has been carrying the smoke all over the region.
October 14th, 2017 at 4:06 AM ^
Good post, thanks. We are further east.
October 14th, 2017 at 7:57 AM ^
I wasn't able to stay up to finish the game. Did Leach blame this one on the air quality or their fat little girlfriends?
October 14th, 2017 at 2:37 AM ^
It's just different than the Midwest or South. You know what I mean. God damn I love living here though. A little bit too sunny. Too low humidity. Getting sick of that though.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:29 AM ^
cal comin for the booty
October 14th, 2017 at 1:29 AM ^
fucking amazing
October 14th, 2017 at 1:29 AM ^
OMGGGGGGG. What a QB TD run. Holy crap.
27-3 Cal lead. They were 16.5 point underdogs.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:31 AM ^
A perfect 10 for that...that will be on highlight films for the rest of the year.
October 14th, 2017 at 2:15 AM ^
He didn't quite stick the landing!
October 14th, 2017 at 3:40 AM ^
He did it in HS, too! But looks like he's perfected his form in college.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:32 AM ^
27-3. WSU doesn't have Tom Brady, so this game is over.
October 14th, 2017 at 1:34 AM ^
Wow I'm glad I stayed up to watch this game that was amazing run by qb
October 14th, 2017 at 1:36 AM ^
Go Blue Baby! 9AM tomorrow!!!!
October 14th, 2017 at 1:44 AM ^
I love it when those chicks rub the balls at Cal.
