USA Today: Weekend Preview

California's fortunes have taken a nose dive, dropping four of five games since last month's triumph at Oregon. The Golden Bears can at least assure a winning record with a win at Washington, which is now officially building for next year. QB Jake Locker, the Huskies' hope for the future, wasn't permanently damaged by last week's scary-looking hit against Oregon State but is unlikely to play. It will be up to senior Carl Bonnell to keep pace with the Golden Bears' powerful attack. WR Marcel Reece and RB Louis Rankin must help him. But Cal hasn't shown its explosiveness of late, relying instead on RB Justin Forsett to carry the offense. QB Nate Longshore will try again to get the ball to WRs DeSean Jackson and Lavelle Hawkins early.
