So far, the transfer seems to be paying dividends. Bunting has gotten on the field in every game and has posted career highs for season catches and receptions. There’s no doubt he provides a size and physicality that the Bears are seriously in need of.

This wasn’t just a win — it was also a win that came after Cal faced a 14-point halftime deficit, following arguably one of the Bears’ worst halves of football this year. It’s proof of the grit that resides within this Cal team.

Because Bunting seems to have not made a crisp turn and the linebacker is breaking toward him, McIlwain has to overcorrect and put the throw toward the sideline to give Bunting a shot.

In a since-deleted post on his Instagram story, Cal junior receiver Jordan Duncan announced that he has had surgery to address an undisclosed injury. Last weekend, Duncan left Cal’s 24-17 loss to Arizona in the second half.

When he isn’t on a football field lined up at wide receiver — formerly at the University of Michigan and now as a graduate transfer for Cal — Ways is using his life experiences to influence others. From large seminar settings to the locker room and everything in between.

At the expense of an up-and-down Cal offense, defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter’s arsenal had a day to remember on the penultimate day of fall camp.

With a combination of standout play and fresh charisma, a variety of new faces have worked their way into the mix at Cal football's fall camp.

It didn’t take a group of about a dozen cornerbacks, safeties and linebackers doing the "Cupid Shuffle" in perfect rhythm to show that Cal football’s defense is developing a chemistry that has lent itself to quality play on the field. (Though it was quite the scene.)

A new face in Ian Bunting — at 6’7’’, 255 pounds, he is hard to miss — along with the rest of the tight ends group and coach Charlie Ragle, could be a key weapon for the Bears as they chase more than a few wins in 2018.

Redshirt junior quarterback Ross Bowers, who is ready to take on the role as a starter should his name be called, looked back on last year’s disappointing end during Cal’s fourth day of fall camp.
