The Golden Bears defense entered the season as one of the best in the country. Against UC Davis last week, the team gave up a touchdown early touchdown off a fumbled kickoff and followed with just another 6 points the rest of the way. Cal Quarterback Chase Garbers averaged over 8 yards per play through the air and Running Back Christopher Brown Jr. found 197 yards on the ground averaging over 5 yards per play.
While the Offense is a work in progress, the Cal Defense is clearly the strength of this team for Head Coach Justin Wilcox.
