California's game at Washington State was canceled less than two hours before kickoff on Saturday because of a case of COVID-19 on the Cal team, the Pac-12 said. It's the third Washington State game that has been postponed or canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. Cal was not able to field enough scholarship players to meet the minimum threshold in order to play the game, the Pac-12 said. The Golden Bears had one player test positive and then additional players were sidelined because of contact tracing. The case was confirmed via a PCR test on Saturday, the league said. The game was declared a no contest. Cal (1-3) and Washington State (1-2) are struggling to qualify for postseason play. Neither team has an opponent set for next weekend. - California/AP College Football

12/11/20 - Trevon Clark, Sr/2022, California, 6-3, 193 (DS#72 WR) + More +

Cal head coach Justin Wilcox said Wednesday night that the program has made allowance for senior wideout Trevon Clark to handle personal affairs instead of finishing the season with the Bears. "Trevon is excused for personal reasons right now," Wilcox said. The 6'4" receiver had 250 receiving yards last season, scoring two touchdowns and notching a career-long 45-yard catch against Arizona State. Clark has only played in three games this season, completing four catches for 23 total receiving yards. Wilcox did not disclose the length of Clark's exemption. - Daily Californian

If Cameron Goode hasn't already considered taking up duck hunting as a hobby, he definitely should now. The linebacker had his outing of the year against the Ducks, penciling numbers into every stat category as the night unfolded. Goode had seven total tackles, 1.5 sacks and a monumental 3.5 tackles for loss in addition to a forced fumble recovery in the fourth quarter. The outside linebacker proved stellar at getting into the backfield and stopping the run, all the more important against a rush-happy team like Oregon, which totaled 809 rushing yards before playing the Bears.

Two of Goode's tackles for loss were against Oregon's CJ Verdell and Travis Dye, the Pac-12's fourth- and fifth-leading rushers, respectively. Goode was essential to limiting the Ducks' prolificity in the first half and shutting down Oregon's not-so-secret weapons, preventing it from executing the juiced deep runs and long balls so distinct to the team's winning offense. - Daily Californian

12/05/20 - Chase Garbers, rSr/2022, California, 6-2, 215 (DS#17 QB) + More +

Chase Garbers threw for a touchdown and ran for a short score, Muelu Iosefa had a late fumble recovery, and California earned its first victory of the season by beating No. 21 Oregon 21-17 on Saturday night. Oregon (3-2) got the ball back with 2:01 left and Tyler Shough marched the Ducks down the field, but his team gave the ball away once again in what has become a problematic pattern for the Ducks this season. Garbers outshined young Oregon star Shough, who threw for 231 yards in his fifth time with 200-plus yards passing in as many career starts.

Shough's 67-yard completion to Travis Dye in the final minute of the second quarter set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Cyrus Habibi-Likio that lifted the Ducks to a 17-14 halftime lead. They didn't score again. Garbers completed 10 of his first 13 passes and wound up 20 of 32 for 183 yards for the Golden Bears (1-3), who had an extra-point attempt blocked in the waning moments of a 24-23 loss to rival Stanford in the Big Game last Friday on their home field. - California/AP College Football

11/27/20 - Chase Garbers, rSr/2022, California, 6-2, 215 (DS#17 QB) + More +

Stanford linebacker Gabe Reid said of Garbers: "He's a dangerous weapon. We saw that last year in the Big Game. He kind of gashed us, so we're definitely emphasizing doing your assignment. It's not about trying to do too much, but working together to try to bring him down. It's about getting everybody to the ball." Fans often define Cal quarterbacks by how they perform in games against Stanford. Just ask Kevin Brown, Steve Levy and Dave Penhall, who have all combined to pay for zero meals in Berkeley since improbable Big Game wins. But Garbers is different. He was good before his career-defining victory and has shown signs of being great since. Cal is 13-7 when Garbers starts and 13-4 when he plays more than a half. He's the Pac-12's active leader in wins (13) and has a Redbox Bow Offensive MVP on his mantel after a five-touchdown onslaught against Illinois last year.

After impossible circumstances in the season opener, which called for Cal to prep for UCLA without defensive linemen and travel to Pasadena - all in about a 40-hour timespan - Garbers went 18-of-33 for 122 yards and an interception. He bounced back last week at Oregon State with a 28-of-42, 315-yard, three-touchdown performance that graded out at 92% on offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave's scale. "Confidence comes from one source and one source only, and that's demonstrated performance," Musgrave said. "Chase played here as a young player and got some good experience and took some lumps, like we all do when we start out playing. I think he's learning as he goes along. "He's climbing, he's learning, and he's gaining from every single rep that he gets." - San Francisco Chronicle

10/09/20 - Camryn Bynum, rSr/2021, California, 6-0, 196 (DS#27 CB) + More +

Cal football is back, and so is one of the Bears' defensive set pieces - after declaring for the NFL draft just shy of a month ago, star Bears cornerback Camryn Bynum announced his intent to participate in the shortened season with his team on Instagram on Monday afternoon. Bynum's initial decision to forgo his final season with Cal was a hand forced by the pandemic and the Pac-12's mid-August decision to cancel all sports until 2021. The accomplished defensive back elected to focus on training for the NFL draft once there was no longer any promise of fall football.

Just weeks ago, however, leaders in the Pac-12 organization unanimously decided to reverse their earlier settlement and proceed with a shortened seven-game season this fall rather than a potentially fuller season in the spring. Bynum's return to Cal football is one that few expected and one that few could be upset about. The team captain led the squad both in the locker room and on the gridiron, amassing a team high of nine pass breakups in the 2019 season and totaling 32 while lacing it up for the blue and gold. The 200-pound corner recorded a career-high 12 tackles to help Cal earn its phenomenal and historic win over Stanford last November. - Daily Californian
