Regular Season Review: Offense

Hey, I’ve got exactly three Mondays before Emerald Bowl Fight Hunger Bowl Foster Farms Bowl Redbox Bowl Monday! That’s just enough time to do a review of the 2019 regular season, going unit-by-unit. We’re starting with the offense, because that’s what I randomly decided.

Raw Numbers

Efficiency stats

Yards/play: 5.0, 113th in the nation
Points/drive: 1.78, 98th in the nation

Component Stats

Turnovers: 13, 16th in the nation

For the 3rd year in a row, the Cal offense was, in the aggregate, both inefficient and unexplosive.
