Cal has now lost its last three games following yet another one-score defeat in ACC play on Saturday. The Bears had a late opportunity to hand No. 22 Pitt its first loss of the season, but a 40-yard field goal try traveled wide right resulting in a 17-15 win for the Panthers.

After the game, Cal head coach Justin Wilcox spoke with reporters about where things went wrong for his team, what went into some of his key decisions in the loss and how the Bears respond after dropping their third ACC contest.

Cal quarterback Fernando Mendoza was on the ground often during Saturday's game as the Pitt defense came up with six sacks, but Mendoza did not place blame on his offense line as he now looks to regroup and get the offense on track again in the second half of the season.

Inside linebacker Teddye Buchanan was a key playmaker for the Bears' defense in Saturday's game, and he spoke afterwards about the play of his group.
