Jaydn Ott’s Week 1 achievements have given him confidence as his Cal Golden Bears prepare to host Auburn on Saturday.

Will Cal take down Auburn?

“Yeah, we are,” he said.

Ott, who rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns in California’s 58-21 win over North Texas last week, told reporters Wednesday he isn’t impressed by Hugh Freeze’s Auburn Tigers.

“There’s a lot of focus on the name ‘Auburn,’” he said. “But what I’ve seen on film is not really in comparison to what their name is. I just want to get that into my guys’ heads that a name doesn’t mean anything. At the end of the day, they’re still human, and we have just as much of a chance as they do to go in there and get the win.”

Auburn took care of business in Freeze’s head coaching debut. Robby Ashford rushed for three first-half touchdowns as Auburn defeated UMass 59-14. Michigan State transfer Payton Thorne threw for 141 yards and a touchdown in his Auburn (1-0) debut.

The Golden Bears aren’t complete strangers to the SEC. In 2019, Cal traveled to Oxford and came away with a 28-20 win over Ole Miss.

“It would be very encouraging when we do get this win,” Ott said, per 247 Sports, “but I feel like our focus is going to be not letting it get to our head and getting too big-headed after we do get the dub.”
