It would be tough to find a worse OL in all the Power 5 conferences than what Ca.l is throwing out there.  But I personally think the scheme is as much to blame as the personnel per se.  Their OL never get in a three-point stance and retreat on virtually every snap.  They never get to fire off and hit anyone.  Stanford OL must get the willies watching Ca.l on offense.  I've watched Baylor, and though their OL get in two point stances, they also do in fact get in three point stances as well.  Being in a two point stances all the time prevents OL from being aggressive.  They try to create running lanes with wide line splits, but by retreating on every snap, it's easy for quick DL to penetrate the gaps.

I don't mind the spread offensive philosophy, but I can't stand the Ca.l offensive line technique.
