ABOUT THE SERIES
– This will be the 101st all-time meeting between California and Washington.
– UW leads the all-time series, 55-41-4. The two teams have split the last six meetings since 2015, with the Bears winning twice in Seattle (30-24 in 2015, 20-19 in 2019) and once in Berkeley (12-10 in 2018).

HALL OF FAME NIGHT
– Cal all-time great running backs Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett, along with Ahmad Anderson (creator of the Bear Territory chant) will all be celebrated for their inductions into the California Athletics Hall of Fame during the game on Saturday. The first 10,000 fans through the gates will receive a special commemorative poster featuring Lynch and Forsett, painted by Cal men's basketball alum Rod Benson. 

BEAR TERRITORY
– The Bears are riding a six-game home win streak after defeating Arizona on Sept. 24. Cal won the last three games of the 2021 season (Colorado, Oregon State, USC) and the first three tilts of 2022 (UC Davis, UNLV, Arizona).
– The last time Cal won more than six straight in Strawberry Canyon was in 2008 and 2009, when the Bears took nine straight victories. All seven games in 2008 and first two in 2009 before USC ended the streak on Oct. 3, 2009.
– Cal has won its first three home games for the first time since 2016 and hasn't started 4-0 in Bear Territory since the 2010 season.

BEARS VS HUSKIES
– Cal has enjoyed a recent run of success against the Dawgs, earning victories over nationally-ranked Washington teams in both 2018 and 2019.
– The Bears beat the No. 15 Huskies in 2018 in Berkeley, 12-10, spurred by a 37-yard interception return for a touchdown from star linebacker Evan Weaver to highlight a brilliant defensive performance, holding Washington to just 250 yards of total offense as Weaver recorded 11 tackles.
– Making it two straight victories over the Huskies for the first time since 2005-06, the Bears pulled off a wild 20-19 win over No. 14 Washington in Seattle in 2019. After a 2 hour and 39 minute delay due to lightning and a 10:30 pm resumption of play, Cal got a 17-yard field goal from Greg Thomas with eight seconds remaining to pull off the victory as the game ended at 1:22 am on Sunday morning.

TAKERS
– California has the longest streak of current games with at least one takeaway in the nation at 19.
– The Bears are third in the conference and 18th nationally with eight interceptions and are second in the Pac-12 and fourth nationally in turnover margin (1.33).
– Cal sits second in the Pac-12 conference and 34th nationally in scoring defense (21.7 ppg).
