These teams combined for 119 points last season when Cal nipped Washington State, 60-59.

While I don't expect that many points this season, I do believe these teams will combine for more than 70 with a quarterback matchup of Luke Falk versus Jared Goff.

The Cougars' Falk has thrown for the most passing yards in the Pac-12 while Goff has passed for 1,240 yards and 11 touchdowns. Goff torched Washington State last year for 527 yards and five touchdowns - and that was in Pullman.

Cal also is expected to get their best running back this week, Daniel Lasco. He's missed the last two games with a hip injury.
