Cal has a Big Game to avenge and a Holiday Bowl berth to play for.

There is plenty on the line for the Bears, who have two games left—this Saturday against Stanford and Dec. 6 against Washington, both at home.

First up is payback to Stanford. Cal had won five in a row in the rivalry and had, in fact, dominated during that time, winning by an average of 30.4 points to 9.8.

But the Cardinal turned the tables last season and won The Axe with a 20-13 victory that contributed to Cal's late-season woes.

"Now that we lost the game, now it's big," Cal linebacker Worrell Williams was quoted as saying in the Contra Costa Times. "(Stanford) is not just some team that we beat up on all the time.
