Lupoi Turns Loss Into Fuel | California Golden Bears Football News

Cal’s football team suffered a brutal 45-24 loss to UCLA, but head coach Tosh Lupoi turned the spotlight into a rallying cry. Instead of excuses, he framed the defeat as a learning moment — praising his team’s resilience, halftime adjustments, and willingness to fight. He defended his aggressive fourth-down call, even though it led to a fumble, calling it the right decision in the moment. Lupoi emphasized that this opener was about experimentation, not perfection, and that the real test lies ahead — especially with fans eager to see if they’ll return for the next home game against Wagner, and whether Cal can bounce back against Syracuse. This loss? Just fuel for the fire. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
