Cal Seeks To Break Road Curse At Oregon State

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) ― California visits Oregon State on Saturday as both teams angle for midseason positioning below top-ranked Oregon in the jumbled Pac-10.

The Beavers (3-3, 2-1 Pac-10) are coming off a bye week and still waiting on the second-half surge they're known for, while Cal (4-3, 2-2) is trying to snap a five-game losing streak on the road that dates back to last season.

The two teams are among a tangle of six that have one or two conference losses so far.

Both also have the undefeated Ducks on their schedules; the Golden Bears host them on Nov. 13 and Oregon State hosts them on Dec. 4 in the annual Civil War game.

With that in mind, Cal needs to overcome its road woes and fast.

This season, the Golden Bears are 0-3 away from home.
