Cal head football coach Sonny Dykes during workouts at Memorial Stadium on the UC Berkeley campus in Berkeley, Calif. on Thurs. August 27, 2015.
This is second in a three-part Cal football season preview. On Saturday afternoon, the Bears open their 2015 campaign against Grambling State at Memorial Stadium.
Toughest game
Nov. 7 at Oregon. In two years under Sonny Dykes, Cal has dropped two games to the Ducks by a combined 57 points. The Jared Goff-led Bears should test a relatively young Oregon defense in 2015. But at a hostile Autzen Stadium, Cal’s defense will stare down perhaps its most daunting task of the season.
