Cal Football Preview Box Bears Travel to ColoradoGolden Bears take on winless Buffaloes in an early Saturday game in BoulderAuthor:Jake CurtisPublish date:Oct 14, 2022 8:52 PM EDTCal is expected to win Saturday's road game against winless Colorado, although the Bears are probably reminded of the fact that they were the only team to lose to Arizona last year. This is a different situation, of course, but Colorado may be energized by the fact that it has a new head coach -- Mike Sanford, who had been the Buffaloes' offensive coordinator before Karl Dorrell was fired on Oct. 2.
