Another excellent offensive preview, thank you Christopher. As you say, one upset, or heck, even one win, would be nice during the rest of the season. Probably not going to be tomorrow.
Yeah, well, if he is prepping for NFL combines or lucrative transfer options, he might (or an agent might recommend he) sit and protect his health the rest of the way anyway. But I have no idea the extent of his hand injury, nor his plans for next year. While Uluave is listed as probable, BTW, Manutai and Bollers are reported out for the Louisville game. Brandon High is listed “probable”. All hands (no pun intended) needed on deck, if Bears are to keep this one competitive.
Absolutely great write up, Chris. All I can say is God help us! I’ve said from the beginning that the best Cal can hope for is a 6-6 season and that hinges on beating Stanford. The Louisville and SMU games are the kind where the benches are hoping for plenty of 4th quarter snaps and the starters get to rest for next week’s game. I could see this one being a complete blowout if the Louisville DL is successful in consistently getting to JKS and either putting him on his butt or forcing him to hurry his throws to WRs who all too frequently drop the ball. Would that Cal had the depth at RB that Louisville has because we could sure use it. Clearly, Louisville has had much better luck than Cal in attracting solid talent through the portal, which speaks to the quality of the coaching and the program. I’m still betting on a 5-7 season and your analysis certainly suggests Cal has the capability of achieving it. Thanks again.

No need to rush Cade back, make sure he’s good for stanford

Not sure if it's relevant to include Washington, since Wilcox has turned into a very different coach with a very different record after COVID started
