Not a question. Cal’s D held Washington, WSU and SC under 20. They are faster and more athletic than Davis in addition to having the size advantage.

More like balancing the budget.

Safety.

Very different animal. The Stanford game was an 11am kick and the Cardinal had nothing to prove and operated under a handshake agreement with Shaw to run the clock. Cal has an unproven offense with a chip on its shoulder and a D that will be out for blood. Cal is at UW week 2.

May be directed by players and/or strength staff but not football staff. Cal's D is rugged. Could be the best back seven in the west. Big test for Davis on offense and will likely require the staff to scheme yardage rather than relying on 1-1 victories. Cal is putrid on offense and the incumbent QB (Garbers) will beat out the UCLA transfer (Modster) for the starting job, but they still have Pac-12 athletes and will be a big challenge for an undersized Davis front that lacks a pass rush.
