A six-game straight-up losing streak and a coaching vacancy with the dismissal of Mike MacIntyre on Sunday have the Buffaloes eager to end a season that began promisingly at 5-0. The Buffaloes will be begging for points. They have scored seven in each of the past two games, while Cal has kept its past four foes under 20. The Bears covered in all four, as they have in the same number of recent meetings. An unexpected bye week from a postponed game last Saturday brings them in refreshed.
