2024 Summary
The first season of California as a member of the ACC reflected his last year in the PAC-12: a 6-7 record with a bowl loss. The Golden Bears have now had five consecutive losing seasons under Justin Wilcox. His defense was not the fault in 2024 and finished 35th in EPA allowed per game. The attack did not catch its weight, on average only 25.1 points per game (90th).
There are even more concerns on that side of the ball after the program has lost so much talent of the transfer portal, but the defense looks again. The chances of California to make a third consecutive Bowl game probably depended on whether Transfer Quarterback Devin Brown can deliver the five-star hype that he had from high school in 2022.
Greatest strength:
The defense of California was a top-50 unit in the FBS in both Pff Run-Defense and Pass-Rush figures last year and should be just as strong in 2025. Defensive Tackle Aidan Keanaaina is back after placing a 79.0 pff general grade in Linebacker and a few very good transferers have a few good transferers and a few very good transferers have a very good transfer and a few very good transferers and a few very good transferers and a very good transfer. Defender TJ Bush Jr. placed.
Biggest weakness: where does the violation come from?
Cal’s attack arranged 95th last season in both pff -alarm grade and EPA each, and that was with a few stars – Quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who ran back Jaydn Ott and tight end Jack Endries. With all three transfer, the Golden Bears have even more worries on that side of the ball.
