Daily Cal Sports Staff

As the spring 2019 slate of sports kicks off, we can reflect on Cal’s wide range of performances in 2018, from teams that haven’t seen the playoffs in years to teams that took home titles last spring.

Neither team possesses a high-firing scheme nor a batch of offensive superstars, so for fans looking for quality action, key in on Cal’s inside linebackers and TCU’s defensive ends.

Garbers’ legs have played a key role in Cal’s spurts of success offensively, and I wouldn’t be shocked if he posted at least 250 yards combined through the air and on the ground.

Best case: Justice Sueing, Darius McNeill and Juhwan Harris-Dyson build off promising freshman seasons while members of the incoming class pick and choose their spots.

Head coach Lindsay Gottlieb will be leaning heavily on Anigwe throughout the season, and fatigue could be a real problem for the Bears late in the season.

If an upset is going to happen, the Bears need to win at least two of the three facets — offense, defense, special teams.

The Bears coming off a week of rest while Oregon comes off an emotionally draining overtime loss to Stanford could absolutely make the difference in this game.
