BERKELEY, Calif. -- Sonny Dykes' California Golden Bears boasted a prolific passing attack with offensive coordinator Tony Franklin and quarterback Jared Goff in 2015. But after both left Berkeley following the season, Dykes needed to start from scratch at both spots.
What seemed to be an inevitable rebuilding year is suddenly filled with promise after a couple of puzzle pieces fell into perfectly synchronized position this offseason.
Jake Spavital shipped over from Texas A&M to join Dykes as his new offensive coordinator. A few months later, quarterback Davis Webb followed suit, coming to Cal by way of a transfer from Texas Tech.
