This week Cal won't be playing on television when they host the Washington State Cougars on Saturday. No need to worry Bear Backers, their blackout will end the following week.

ABC has picked up their trip to Sun Devil Stadium to face the Arizona State Sun Devils on Halloween of all days.

The Golden Bears have had good luck playing the Sun Devils on the road, although they haven't won there since 2003. The last time the teams faced in Tempe, Arizona State defeated the Golden Bears 31-20.

Prior to that defeat, Cal hadn't been to Sun Devil Stadium since 2003 where they were the victors in a 51-23 outcome. That was the second consecutive season where the Bears traveled to Tempe.

In 2002, Cal also defeated the Sun Devils 55-38 in a game where Nnamdi Asomugha returned an errant pass, by future teammate Andrew Walter, 85 yards for a touchdown, Kyle Boller threw for five touchdowns and Joe Igber rushed for 144 yards.

The game will start at 12:30pm PST, and there should be plenty of Halloween costumes for the event.
