"BERKELEY After three decisive victories, an unexpected defeat and a come-from-behind road win to open ACC play, Cal faces a potent Duke team on Saturday night, hoping to improve to 5-1 for the first time in 10 seasons. We've seen some stretches of good football, Cal coach Justin Wilcox said. Now it's about: What does our best look like? That's what we need to find out. We're going to have to play our best this weekend."
"They've also been less than at times, including two weeks ago in a 34-0 loss at San Diego State and early last week, when they fell behind 14-0 at Boston College before rallying for a 28-24 victory. We've left so much on the bone, said quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, who was tagged by ESPN this week as the nation's second-best freshman at any position. When we play our best game, and it will come, you're going to expect great things from our offense, for sure."
Cal (4-1, 1-0 ACC) faces Duke (3-2, 2-0) Saturday night at Memorial Stadium aiming for a 5-1 start for the first time in 10 seasons. The season has included three decisive wins, an unexpected 34-0 loss at San Diego State, and a comeback 28-24 victory at Boston College. The offense is led by freshman quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, recognized by ESPN as the nation's second-best freshman. The defense, anchored by senior tackle Aidan Keanaaina, has shown highs and lows. Coach Justin Wilcox demands the team play its best and address slow starts and inconsistency to reach the next level.
