Go Bears!

The Bear Raid offense has brought Cal's offense back from the brink the past few years. After middling the last few years, Sonny Dykes and Tony Franklin helped get the Bears back to among the nation's strongest offenses. Behind Jared Goff and one of the most talented groups of wide receiving corps in the nation, Cal's offense was in the top 15 by most advanced metrics.

What the offense has needed is explosiveness. All of Cal wideouts have been great possession receivers who are able to haul in the catches, but until the last few games of 2015 the Bears didn't have too many explosive players who could get open and race for open field touchdowns.
