Nicholas Edwards

For the first time since the 2015 Armed Forces Bowl, the Bears will end their season on a high note with a postseason victory against the Fighting Illini, 35-20, at the 2019 Redbox Bowl.

Cal Poly Athletics announced Friday that Cal football running backs coach Nicholas Edwards will move on to become the offensive coordinator for Cal Poly’s football program.

The news was of a coaching staff restructuring that was farcical in its attempt to change everything possible about the Bears offense … outside of changing a single one of the faces and names involved.

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.

Sophomore wide receiver Jeremiah Hawkins said it best — he loves his defense and he loves his team, but he’s eager to go up against new faces.
