Cal was 7-0 in games that redshirt sophomore quarterback Chase Garbers completed, but was just 1-5 in contests that he did not start and/or finish.

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.

True freshman Makai Polk exploded out of the gate, catching five passes for 105 yards and surpassing his career high in receptions and yards.

The Daily Cal’s football beat writers answer questions for one last Cal game. The Bears’ 2019 ends in a Redbox Bowl showdown with Illinois.

Seven points. Five interceptions thrown. One loss. Almost a year after one of the most embarrassing bowl game of all time, Cal will finally get its chance at redemption.
