Patience is key for Cal football
Particularly in the wake of the dismantling of the Pac-12, it is understandable that Cal fans are concerned about the future of the program.

Bear vs. Bear: Cal football's offense and defense clicking together (for now)
If Cal can truly get both sides of the ball on the same page the rest of the way, I think the sky’s the limit. The caveat, of course, is that its remaining opponents are going to make things a whole lot more difficult than the 1-6 Beavers.
