Most of us Cal fans most likely don’t want to admit it but we all saw some form of this game coming. In a season where we have rarely seen a complete game played against a top conference opponent, Wednesday evening would end up no different from the rest. There was plenty to like from this game, a competitive contest that ended up coming down to the wire. However even the forever optimist in me couldn’t get away from thinking that the conclusion was somehow inevitable. There were a couple of distinct themes in this game, most notably the Bears inability to capitalize on offensive possessions and the dramatic implosion of the Bears that we witnessed in the final five minutes.
