Tide Batters Golden Bears Senseless in #1 vs. #2 Matchup
#2 Cal (7-0) has a B+ offense, an A- defense, and is A- overall. They are #33 in pts/gm, #24 in total offense, and #9 in total defense. #1 Alabama (8-0) has an A- offense, an A+ defense, and is A overall. We are #1 in everything except pass offense (116th), rush defense (2nd), and turnover differential (2nd). How the #1 vs. #2 team is not the GAME OF THE WEEK, I do not know! Herbstreit likes us, but Corso likes the Golden Bears. He would. This is the return game of our 31-8 beatdown of them from last year. Weather: Clear with wind up to 11 mph.
