With the closing of the transfer portal Jan. 18, 2023, and national signing day Feb. 1, The Daily Californian’s sports editors are bringing readers a comprehensive update to the ins and outs (quite literally) of Cal’s 2023 football roster.

Tuesday afternoon, athletic director Jim Knowlton addressed the team and announced that the University would be parting ways with McKeever.

Jackson’s dual-threat profile will add a novel dimension to the blue and gold offense.

The Supreme Court of the United States, the British Monarchy and Cal basketball’s losing streak: It was actually the last of the three — not the institutions that are designed as bastions of stability in a fickle, volatile society — that remained constant over the last nine-and-a-half months.

Now that the Cardinals have defected from the exclusive club of winless Division I teams, it’s not a club anymore — it’s just Cal.

Cal gained two new defensive backs this weekend, with transfer commitments from UNLV’s Nohl Williams and Colorado’s Kaylin Moore.

With most Cal fans expecting a blowout loss, with a win out of the question, the Bears raised eyebrows with a surprisingly gutsy performance that, of course, still ended in defeat.

Arizona, a well-oiled machine that has churned out multiple 20+ point wins this season, knows exactly how to lay waste to inferior teams like Cal.

The Bears were better defensively tonight, but they could never click on the offensive end — no performance has been complete so far this season.

In the face of Cal’s intense pressure, Texas State responded with complete sangfroid. The Bobcats were resolute in earning their points the old-fashioned way — in the paint — and capitalized on Cal’s overeagerness to launch fast breaks by dominating the offensive boards.
