If the North Carolina game was the introduction to the Justin Wilcox era, consider last night’s game the graduation. What took place in Memorial stadium was a complete departure from the Sonny Dykes era which we all were witness to over the last four years. During the season opener North Carolina game, you still heard whispers questioning the defense and Weber State brought on memories of Portland State with safeties taking questionable paths to receivers. There was nearly nothing that was familiar about last night.
The Golden Bears took down Ole Miss 27-16, leading another second half comeback yet this game was all about the Golden Bears defense.
