Ross Bowers was obviously the big announcement as the new starting quarterback of the California Golden Bears. Bowers beat out Chase Forrest after months of intense spring and fall quarterback dueling. Bowers simply had more impressive performances all throughout, and now he’ll get the chance to prove himself on the field Saturday in Chapel Hill.
But he wasn’t the only surprise.
The depth at wide receiver and defensive back figured to leave a few names in odd places. But it’s hard to believe how different this team will look. Quite a few starters relinquished their spots.
