Trace’s note: The Bears will have to face JJ Arcega-Whiteside after all, as Stanford’s top rebounder will be playing Saturday after doing a number on UCLA’s secondary. He’s drawn 16 penalties on either pass interference or holding calls this year, an insane number, and something that the Bears will have to avoid adding to.
- Trace notes in his depth chart review that there are some errors (Mekari, out for the year, is still listed as a starter) but says that the team hopes Noa can still come back.
- Justin Wilcox has transformed the defense into a force.
