What a difference a week makes. After last week’s offensive ineptitude, the California Golden Bears had signs of life as the Toyota Tercel offense sputtered along thanks to Chase Garbers’s reasonably accurate passing and Brandon McIlwain’s slipperiness on the ground. As a result, the ratings for offense grew substantially over last week.
| Average Rating | Standard Deviation | |
| Pass Offense | 62.0 | 17.1 |
| Rush Offense | 66.8 | 15.2 |
| Pass Defense | 84. |
