BERKELEY After three decisive victories, an unexpected defeat and a come-from-behind road win to open ACC play, Cal faces a potent Duke team on Saturday night, hoping to improve to 5-1 for the first time in 10 seasons. We've seen some stretches of good football, Cal coach Justin Wilcox said. Now it's about: What does our best look like? That's what we need to find out. We're going to have to play our best this weekend.
The Saints' 26-21 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday was the latest example of a team still trying to figure things out under new coach Kellen Moore. In both games the Saints got off to slow starts and were left scrambling to try to mount comebacks. They also missed field goals in consecutive weeks and gave up several big plays.
