For the second straight year, Cal lost one of its top running backs midway through the season. Last time around it was Daniel Lasco, who muddled through 2015 with the lingering effects of a hip injury. This year’s victim would be Vic Enwere, who broke his foot in the nightmarish game against Oregon State and missed the remainder of the season. The Bears were able to rebound without too much difficulty, however, as upperclassmen Khalfani Muhammad and Tre Watson took on expanded roles in Vic’s absence.
As we’ve come to expect from the Bear Raid scheme, Cal finished in the bottom half of the Pac-12 in rushing yardage.
