No Passing Grade for Cal Defense

Cal’s defense, which had been a strength of the team under head coach Justin Wilcox for the first four years of his tenure, has definitely regressed this season. Going into the game at Washington Saturday night, the Bears rank dead last in the Pac-12 in total defense, giving up 448.3 yards per game. Of those, an average of 318 yards have come through the air, 11^th worst number in the conference..
