When Justin Wilcox came onboard last season, we all knew the Golden Bears Defense would improve and it did. Cal finished the season with the 15th best defensive unit in the nation, however, their offense seriously lacked finishing toward the bottom of the NCAA at 151st. The goal this season is to turn things around.
California may have among the best secondary in the country this season. Yes, you read that correctly. In fact, they are my dark horse pick for 2019 on being the most improved team. The Golden Bears have one 4-Star Cornerback on the team in Elijah Hicks.
