This week in California talk
The shows spent the week on UCLA's strong start in the Big Ten after their comeback win, with talk about Wayne Knight and Nico Iamaleava leading the Bruins. Cal got credit for showing promise in the loss, with the improved defense under Tosh Lupoi drawing attention as something to watch going forward.
