Utah Opponent Preview: Cal's Offense

It feels strange to say Utah will face their most talented offensive opponent this week, after having played Oregon, but so is the case this Saturday when the 5-0 Cal Bears come to town. Called the "Bear Raid" offense, Cal's offensive philosophy is an up tempo, quick strike offense. It is modeled after Mike Leach's Air Raid offense that had so much success at Texas Tech, where Cal head coach Sonny Dykes served as offensive coordinator. Since branching out on his own, Dykes has made some changes to the offense, notably incorporating much more of a run game than is utilized by Leach.
