Post Game Thoughts: RedBox Bowl

It was an odd, subdued atmosphere in Tech Money Park. The Bears took what turned out to be a mostly decisive lead late in the 2nd quarter, added to it quickly in the 3rd quarter, then mostly sat on Illinois, who didn’t really force Cal to do much of anything else. Meanwhile, a mostly sedate Cal crowd basked in the sun on an unseasonably warm day, content to watch the Bears cruise to a deceptively easy looking win. It all felt very vacationy to me, even though most of the Cal fans in attendance didn’t have to drive very far to take in the action.
