Last season they won 1 game. I know injuries were a major factor, but Dykes plan on having to score 70 to win every game makes me wonder if he will see the success he saw at Tech.Tech had a good team, but finished 3rd in the wac his last year because they couldn't stop San Jose or Utah State defensively.

Not super familiar with Dykes. Not familiar at all with Cal's roster.

That being said, Cal will win more than 1 game this year. So this year will be more successful than last year

Stanford
Oregon
Oregon State
Washington
Washington State
Cal

3 schools that are doing really well for the time being, and Washington just hired Chris Peterson. Washington State has the pirate. The fact that he's not a bad coach, but is the worst coach in that division speaks volumes.

Magic 8 ball says....no

They were declining under Tedford and then fell off a cliff with Dykes. They looked horrific last year. It will really surprise me if he turns it around there. They got blown out in like 75% of their games.

Cal was atrocious last season.

They were very young, especially offensively. Their leading passer (Goff) and rusher (Muhammad) were both freshmen and four of their top five pass catchers were either freshmen or sophomores. They return four along the offensive front. They are a year older, so hopefully they can put some points on the board. They'll have to. The Cal defense will be among the worst in the country... again.

I think Cal needs to focus on staying competitive in games before we start speaking about success within the program.

I like seeing Cal competitive, so hopefully Dykes can turn the ship at some point in the near future.

Dykes was a strange hire for Cal.
