Bears have new faces in many places on the roster, including starting quarterback Sam Jackson V
Cal’s football team warm up during training camp at Memorial Stadium I Berkeley, Calif., on Wednesday, Aug. 2, 2023. For Cal coach Justin Wilcox, whose program has experienced three straight losing seasons after three encouraging ones, the big picture is no different than the goal for Saturday’s opening game at North Texas.
“We feel good about our team. We’re going to have to keep improving — we’re not a finished product yet. It’s a great opportunity for us to set the bar for the season and continue to try and raise it each and every week.” The Mean Green has played in bowl games in three straight seasons despite a combined record of two games under .500. They visited Berkeley in 2019, battling back from a 20-0 hole before losing 23-17.Here are three keys to Cal’s chances on Saturday:That’s right, the third-year sophomore transfer from TCU has not started a game since the final contest of his junior season at Naperville Central High in suburban Chicago.
“Sam’s the guy,” he said. “He’s still a young guy, has not started a college game. But he has shown growth over these last few practices. He’s getting a lot more comfortable with the game plan.”The forecast calls for 99 degrees on Saturday in Denton, and the recipe comes with a side order of humidity, The Bears can’t simulate that in Berkeley and last Saturday they trekked to UC Davis for 95 degrees and some manufactured humidity.
