Game Time, TV Set for Cal's Game at Washington State Next Week

Next Saturday night's game is the last one on the Bears' schedule but not the last regular-season game Cal will play this season

Game time for Cal's game next Saturday at Washington State has been set for 7:30 p.m., it was announced Sunday. It was announced Monday that the game will be televised by FS1.

The game against Washington State is the last one on Cal's schedule, although the Bears will play a final regular-season game the weekend of Dec. 19 against a Pac-12 opponent that has yet to be determined at a site that has yet to be determined.

Games in mid-December in Pullman, Wash., figure to be quite cold with snow being a distinct possibility, so the Bears should wear warm clothing for a night game in rural eastern Washington.

Washington State carries a 1-2 record after its loss to USC on Sunday. That was the Cougars' first game since Nov. 14.

Cal (1-3) is coming off its best performance of the season, which resulted in a 21-17 victory over No. 23 Oregon on Saturday.

The key to the Bears' victory was turnover margin. Cal did not commit any turnovers for the first time this season and it forced two fourth-quarter fumbles that Cal recovered, each ending a threat by the Ducks.

Cal will have a regular week of practice in preparation for the Cougars, who will have a short week to get ready for the Bears. The WSU game against USC was pushed back from Friday to Sunday to increase the likelihood that it could be played, given COVID-19 concerns.
