BERKELEY – Tim DeRuyter was selected the Athlon Sports' National Defensive Coordinator of the Week on Sunday for Cal's defensive performance in a 37-3 victory over previously unbeaten No. 8/9 Washington State on Friday that ge the Golden Bears their first victory over a top-10 team since a 34-31 triple overtime victory over USC in 2003. The three points allowed were the fewest by a Cal defense since also holding UC Davis to three points in 2010 while the last time Cal held a Pac-12 opponent to three points or less was also against Washington State when the Cougars had three points in 2008.

The Cal defense forced seven Washington State turnovers while recording 9.0 sacks and 12.0 tackles for loss as a team with the sacks tied for the second-most by an FBS squad in 2017 and the most by a Cal team since a 2005 contest at Stanford.

Inside linebacker Jordan Kunaszyk was also named the Walter Camp National Defensive and College Sports Madness Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week on Sunday after leading the way by establishing or equaling career highs with 11 tackles, 2.5 sacks (-31 yards), 2.5 tackles for loss (-31 yards), one forced fumble, one interception and one quarterback hurry.
