Big Game Never Meaningless For Cal, Stanford
With Stanford wrapping up a losing season and California denied a bowl bid by N.C.A.A. sanctions, the stakes in
today´s Big Game might appear to be fairly small.
Not so.
For Stanford, continuing their seven-game winning streak will give them Bay Area bragging rights despite a two-and-eight record.
For Cal, snapping that losing streak at home would be the icing on a six-and-five season and give the school its first winning record since 1993.
Stanford nose tackle Trey Freeman put it simply – “As a senior class, it´s the most important game we´re going to play.”
Stanford has history on its side. It holds a 54-39-and-11 record overall in the rivalry.
