Scouting the Golden Bears

This Season
California is 1-1 this season with a 44-30 loss to Nortwestern in the season opener. Last week California struggled against Portland State but won 37-30.
Offense
Freshman quarterback Jared Goff threw for 445 yards against Northwestern and 485 yards last week against Portland State. At running back is Brendan Bigelow, who punished Ohio State last season with 160 rushing yards including a stadium record 81 yard run by an OSU opponent. In two games this season he has 136 rushing yards. Running back Khalfani Muhammad has 326 all-purpose yards this season with 76 rushing, 103 receiving, and 147 in kick returns. The main receivers are Bryce Treggs and Chris Harper. Treggs had 145 reception yards against Northwestern and 121 yards against Portland State.
Defense
The defense appears to be going through a tough transition to a more traditional 4-3 defense under new defensive coordinator Andy Buh. The defensive line is anchored by future NFL tackle Deandre Coleman. Linebacker Michael Barton leads the team with 17 tackles. Barton is questionable this week with a knee injury. Cornerback Kameron Jackson has four career interceptions including one this season.
