Cal is back to .500 after taking down Oregon State in Week 9 of the college football season. The Bears had Saturday off while going through their second bye of the year, and now the work has already turned to their next opponent on a short week. Cal will visit Wake Forest for its latest long road trip as the two teams square off Friday night in Winston-Salem.

Tuesday, Cal head coach Justin Wilcox spent time with reporters to discuss what his team worked on during the bye week, his expectations for Friday's matchup with the Demon Deacons and his thoughts on the final stretch of the year for the Bears.
