Cal suspended defensive line coach Tosh Lupoi for Saturday's season finale against Washington for instructing a player to fake an injury in the 15-13 loss to Oregon on Nov. 13.The announcement came after the Bears lost 16-13 to Washington, a defeat that knocks Cal out of bowl contention for the first time since Jeff Tedford came to the program in 2002.
Athletic director Sandy Barbour addressed the media after the game.
"This is a young coach who made a mistake. We make mistakes in life a lot," Barbour said, according to a report by the Associated Press. "He stood up and he accepted responsibility for it. The head coach accepted responsibility for it and I accepted responsibility for it. That's what we do as educators."
Tedford reportedly said after the game that Lupoi would remain on staff.
