Bear Raid makes job harder for Cal football’s defensive backs

On Saturdays in the fall, the ball can usually be seen flying through the air a lot. Cal football’s Bear Raid offense means quarterback Jared Goff is firing the pigskin from the pocket often. And for the most part last season, the Bears’ playing style has brought positive results especially for Cal’s skilled position players.

Goff broke all kinds of records, such as most passing yards in a season (3,937) and passing touchdowns in a season (35), and is an early contender to win the Heisman next year. The receiving corp has looked better with the increased opportunities in the passing game: Nearly every game last season saw a new receiver break out and have a big game.
