The game against Cal will be WSU's second away game straight, losing last end of the week to the Utah Utes 24-13. WSU will be hoping to end a two-game losing streak against Cal.
Last week, Cal went to Seattle for their first gathering round of the year against Washington. The Bears and Huskies constrained the game into additional time. Cal couldn't score in additional time, losing to the Huskies 31-24.
Snapping the losing streak may be hard for the Cougs on the grounds that the chances of winning are not in support of WSU. ESPN's Football Power Index allows WSU a simple 25.9 percent opportunity of winning. The Cal game is the third time in succession the Cougars have been the longshots, losing in the initial two.
Uplifting news for WSU came on Monday. It seems as though quarterback Jayden de Laura will be solid for Saturday. In any case, Head Coach Nick Rolovich has not concluded who will be the beginning quarterback.

"We gotta see who's accessible and who can go out and do it," Rolovich said. "There's most certainly some contest viewpoint to it like it was the week before."
WSU running back Max Borghi is sketchy this end of the week subsequent to experiencing a wrist injury last end of the week against Utah. Borghi's external runs will be a missed piece of the Cougar offense in the event that he can't play.
"I believe he's likely problematic as we push ahead into this week," Rolovich said about Borghi. "It could've been a great deal more awful."
In case Borghi can't play, Deon McIntosh is the following man in line. McIntosh has shown his capacities as a running back this season, running for 145 yards up until now. On the off chance that McIntosh can imitate Borghi's external run game, the Cougars might have the option to score all the more frequently.
Scoring is certainly something that the Cougs need to accomplish a greater amount of. In the last two games, the Cougars have been outscored by a sum of 69-27. A sound de Laura may be the appropriate response that WSU is searching for. This year, Cal's offense has influenced towards the passing game. Cal senior quarterback Chase Garbers outperformed 1,000 yards in last week's loss, tossing for a season-high 319 yards and two scores.
Like de Laura, Garbers can run the ball for yards. Last week, Garbers ran the ball multiple times, getting 71 yards and a score.
"They've truly improved disagreeably," Rolovich said. "I think they are playing at a significant level unpalatably, more than I recall in anticipation of them the year before."
Mainstays of WSU's safeguard should remain steadfast against the "air-attack" offense of Garbers and Cal. Guarded backs, for example, Daniel Isom and Armani Marsh will be significant to separating passes and constraining turnovers.
Last week, the Cougar guard recuperated three mishandles against the Utes. On the off chance that they can reproduce this excursion against the Bears, the Cougars will have a superior opportunity to dominate the match.
Cal and WSU last played each other in 2019. Last year's down was dropped around two hours before the opening shot as a result of COVID-19, passing on fans to address what might have unfolded.
