It’s natural for a team with a trigger-happy quarterback in a trigger-happy offense to pass the ball often at a highly efficient clip. Because of this, it’s not surprising the Cal football receivers last year finished 10th in the country for most receiving yards.
With 4,152 yards on 329 receptions, most of the Bears offense last year came through the air. On Cal’s receiving corp, there is a mix of personnel, where a handful specialize as speed threats and the others are bigger and more physical targets. Because of the mismatches the Bears receivers present to opposing defenses, they were often able to create separation, and quarterback Jared Goff was usually alert enough to hit his open men.
