Thursday night, when California travels to USC, the least-streaky team in the nation will try to break its streak of not having a streak. Got all that?
The Bears are the only FBS team that has neither won nor lost at least two straight games, going win, loss, win, loss, win, loss, win through the first eight weeks of the season. If the pattern holds, this is an “L” week. Cal would like to change that. USC wouldn’t mind keeping the status quo.
It should come as no surprise that after Cal’s neutral-site win against Hawaii in Australia to open the season, the Bears have gone 3-0 at home and 0-3 on the road.
