Is it just me, or does anyone else think we're worrying way too much about the offense and not enough about the defense? We haven't had a top-25 defense since 2016, IMO. That's a loooong stretch of underwhelming performance. In fact, I would argue that 2016 is the last time that the defense was appreciably better than the offense.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
