Stanford vs. California: How to watch, schedule, live stream information, match times, TV channels

Through 3 parts

A great route to victory is simply overtaking your opponent on the field, and that is working so far for the California Golden Bears (with 537 yards versus 240 yards). After three quarters, it increasingly looked like their powerful attack was just too much for the Stanford Cardinals as the Golden Bears took a 27-3 lead. This contest looks like it will end very differently given the tight one-point margin of Stanford’s win over California in their previous head-to-head match last November.

California loved the tag-team collaboration of RB Christopher Brown Jr. and QB Chase Garbers. The first picked up 130 yards off the ground in 12 tries in addition to winning one TD received, while the second passed TD twice and 258 yards on 26 attempts along with picking up 63 yards On the ground. Brown Jr didn’t help his team much in the game against the Arizona Wildcats two weeks ago, so this is a good turning point for him.

Both California and Stanford suffered losses in their previous competitions, but California is about to make up for it this week. The Golden Bears only need to be suspended for one more half to be able to stand again.

What to know

The California bears have had a week off and they’re definitely ready to get back on the field. They’ll hit the road for the second week in a row when they arrive at Stanford Stadium at 7 p.m. ET Saturday. Given that these two teams have lost in their last game, both have a little more incentive to enter this competition.

All to no avail in the first half, but the Golden Bears weren’t quite on par with the Arizona Wildcats in the second half when they met two weeks ago. California lost to the Wildcats 10-3. California did not reach their full potential and found themselves falling short of the 7-point advantage that bettors assumed they had entered the game. QB Ryan Glover had a game to remember, but not in the way you’d like to be remembered: he passed just 94 yards after 29 attempts.

Meanwhile, Cardinal Stanford was supposed to be in trouble last week, and that’s exactly how things turned out. Things couldn’t be worse for them as they lost 35-14 to the Oregon State Beaver. Cardinal fell 28-7 at the end of the third quarter, too much to recover. No one had a standout game against Stanford, but they got their scores from RB Nathaniel Peat, TE Benjamin Yurosekand QB Ari Patu.

California is currently 3-6 while Stanford stands at 3-7. Two defensive stats to keep in mind while watching: The Golden Bears are stumbling across the game with the 175th most touchdown allowed nationally, after dropping 15 out of the season. Cardinal have experienced some struggles of their own as they are 237th worst nationally in the number of rush touches allowed, with 26 on the season. Maybe one of these Achilles heels will get in the way of the losing team.
