“Our guys know a lot of those players,” Wilcox said, “They played against them in high school, they know how talented they are , they know what kind of coaching staff they have.”
”I see tremendous growth,” defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter added in talking about the UCLA offense, “you go from game one to last week against a really good Washington team, I see tremendous improvement, particularly from the quarterback, which is understandable. He’s a freshman, and every week, he’s getting more confident, and I think they’re understanding who their playmakers are as they go along.”
After consecutive losses that featured nine turnovers, Cal head coach Justin Wilcox played it coy about how the Bears are handling the quarterback position in preparation for Saturday’s homecoming game against UCLA.
