Well, at season's end this could be a top-25 team--if the defense improves significantly over the past few years--but I agree it's not likely.
But why is Austin Jones at 5' 10", 190 lbs so concerning?
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)
