Similar Stories to Cal Bears’ Aim Is To Be Bowl Caliber on Bing News

Cal Bears’ aim is to be bowl caliber According to the Cal optimists, if the Bears improve just a little on defense, they’re bowl-bound. Head coach Sonny Dykes, who’s in his third year at Cal, took Louisiana Tech to the Poinsettia Bowl in 2011. When he was growing up in Marin County, Goff used to direct the Cal Bears in a football video game. Assuming he does, he’ll almost certainly forgo his senior year and enter the NFL draft. “The seniors here haven’t been to a bowl game,” he said. Even with an offense that should collect points by the barrel, Dykes knows his defense has to be much, much better or the Bears will simply trade touchdowns into mediocrity, which is what happened last year. Without a pass rush to speak of, the injury-riddled secondary gave up an astounding 42 touchdown passes in 2014. Goff said the defensive backs are “starting to make plays while the ball is in the air.” Under second-year defensive coordinator Art Kaufman, whose 34-year career includes stints at seven previous schools, the Bears have a host of returning players. Picked for third in the North Division in a media poll, Cal will need to pull a surprise or two on a very tough road schedule — Texas, Washington, Utah, UCLA, Oregon, Stanford — to call the season a success. Passing yards needed to break Troy Taylor’s school career record (8,126)
