Arizona's defense gives up 31.8 points/game, the most in the Pac-12. Can they stop Cal? With evil voodoo magic on their side, you can never be too sure.
I think it's more about drawing up quick-developing plays, or using their aggressiveness against them. Like on screen passes where the offensive line lets them through, and then the QB quickly hits the receiver behind them, and now the offensive linemen are free to block downfield, things like that. Goff used to be a master at this, throwing to the receiver in the area vacated by the blitz.
Going into the week, a story line was the health of Craig (LT) and Coleman (LG). At the beginning of the week, Wilcox said both were day-to-day. Later in the week, Craig was doubtful and Coleman was still day-to-day. This alone did not bode well for the OL that was just beginning to apparently "gel". Now, with COVID who knows who shows up to play on OL. Given the Cat's strength is DL an already tough situation (2 OL possibly out of the game) has become significantly worse. Unless someone was out at the airport filming Cal as they boarded the plane to Arizona, we won't know until game time who is available.
All of it is not good for the Bears. That said, the Bear will not quit, the Bear will not die!!
Sounds like the key is to get rid of the ball quickly (not Chase's strength....) to the WRs on overmatched DBs.....or run it down their throats.
Please let us not be the covid posterchildren........
