All four players who would have been projected to start as DEs this year are injured or out of the program. And out of the eight projected to play, only three of the projected backups are playing. Gabe King was a four star recruit who never did anything productive as a football player. Now only one of the North Carolina Five remains on the Cal football roster - WR Maurice Harris.
But the most serious issue is the OL. This week it is being reshuffled. Soph Freddie Tagaloa has been moved from LT to RG (think about that). RS Frosh Jordan Rigsbee has been moved from LG to C, and True Frosh Chris Borrayo is giving up his redshirt season to move in to the LG spot and RS Frosh Alex Okafor is taking over at LT. So Cal will have 4/5 OL playing new positions this week, including two guys getting their first game action.
It seems a bit foolish for a 1-6 team to play a True Frosh in Game 8, who has yet to play, but the coach is desperate so is willing to try anything.
