In 2018, Chase Garbers averaged 5.8 yards/pass attempt, and Cal’s offense was dysfunctional.
Over the first three games of the 2019 season, Chase Garbers averaged 7 yards/attempt, and Cal’s offense was . . . better, but still pretty problematic, particularly considering the opposition.
Against Ole Miss and ASU, Chase Garbers averaged 8.3 yards/attempt. For the first time in ages, on the road against an SEC team, Cal’s offense was more responsible for a win than Cal’s defense. Against ASU, in four possessions, Cal had scored one touchdown, had three other drives killed by dropped passes and/or sacks.
