Why No. 49: In Tedford we trust. Since taking over at his alma mater two years ago, the former Cal head coach has won 22 games. Remember, he inherited a program that had gone 1-11. ... Tedford lost most of his high-powered offense to graduation. But he does welcome back talented tight end Jared Rice, who caught 55 passes last season.
