How to watch WSU vs. Cal (and Game Thread)

The Washington State Cougars visit the Cal Golden Bears on Saturday afternoon, and you have to come to this post to find out how to watch this clash of 1-3 Pac-12 schools. We’ll share the game time, TV schedule, stream, and radio information, but first let's look at how the Cougs and Golden Bears got here.

Cal is coming off a heartbreaking loss to Washington, where running back Damien Moore fumbled at the goal line in overtime to end the game and deliver his team an 0-1 Pac-12 conference start. The non-conference schedule was equally unkind to the Golden Bears, with losses to Nevada and TCU preceding a hardly-convincing 42-30 win over Sacramento State.

WSU has already played two league games, both featuring second-half collapses. First, there were 45 consecutive points by USC, then a 17-point run from Utah, to close each game. WSU similarly dropped a second-half lead to Utah State. Like Cal, the only win so far for the Cougs has come against Big Sky competition.

So, this game is a bit of a gut check for both programs—we talked about this at more length in our WSU vs. Cal game preview podcast. A loss would put either in a 1-4 hole while a win for either brings at least some temporary hope at 2-3. Fortunately for Cal, it’s playing at home. The good news for the Cougs? Quarterback Jayden de Laura and running back Max Borghi are expected to play, providing some life for a stagnant offense.

Now that you know the stakes, I’ll finally tell you how to watch WSU vs. Cal football.
